History / Katyn- forgiven and forgotten? [111]
:)I am :)that someone has menioned Katyn Forest in Russia. My grandfather(my mother's father) was killed in Katyn at the beginning of the second world war when my mther was only 13. He was a member of the military and was one of the "Intelygensia' that were murdered. He was a commissioned officer but I am not sure of his rank. Thanks to the Russians I never got to meet him. Both sides of my family were from wealthy families who lost everything during the war. Both parents belonged to Armia Krajowa. They escaped to England where they married, had two children and then came to Canada by ship to Halifax,Nova Scotia and then by train To Ottawa. I was 18 months old and my brother was 3 months old. My father worked in that area for awhile and then found work in Southwestern Ontario where we grew up, along with another sister.
I am very proud of my Polish heritage. I have visited Poland twice and hope to again someday. I have friends and family there. I hope to keep in touch with this forum and would love to hear from all of you in the future!! Thanks Anielka for your information about Katyn.
Hello everyone!
Is there anyone else out there that had a family member murdered in Katyn Forest in Russia?
