Katyń Museum

This guide to the Katyn Museum in Warsaw begins in spring 1940, when letters to thousands of Polish officers and policemen held in Soviet camps suddenly stop arriving. It follows the secret order behind their disappearance, the decades of shifting blame between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union after mass graves were found in 1943, and the fifty years Poland spent repeating an official story few families believed. Listen for the wives who kept writing letters long after they had reason to hope for a reply.
