History / WAS KATYŃ GENOCIDE? Polish officers were killed [237]
Katyn was certainly not a genocide. It was a war crime but not genocide. I don't know why we want to blame Russians so much. Stalin was NOT Russian and he killed many more Russians than Poles. I think the church is partly responsible for making us believe Eastern Slavs are the enemy. All for protecting the Western Christianity branch that Vatican still controls.
Wolyn was certainly a genocide. But how many Poles know about it? I don't live in Poland so I can't verify it, but I doubt that Wolyn is in our history books. My chaplain was very vocal about Katyn but never said anything about Wolyn or Bieszczady. Are the 600,000 Poles that were murdered by Ukrainians less important than the officers and priests executed at Katyn and Ostaszkowo? Or are we running into a problem of killers being Catholic/Ukrainian Catholic vs Orthodox?
