Krátky popis
A classic work of reportage about the Katy Massacre during World
War II by a soldier who narrowly escaped the atrocity himself.In
1941, when Germany turned against the USSR, tens of thousands of
Polesmen, women, and children who were starving, sickly, and
impoverishedwere released from Soviet prison camps and allowed to
join the Polish army being formed in the south of Russia. One of
the survivors who made the difficult winter journey was the painter
and reserve officer Jozef Czapski.General Anders, the army's
commander in chief, assigned Czapski the task of receiving the
Poles arriving for military training, gathering accounts of what
their fates had been, organizing education, culture, and news for
the soldiers, and, most important, investigating the disappearance
of thousands of missing Polish officers. Blocked at every level by
the Soviet authorities, Czapski was unaware that in April 1940 the
officers had been shot dead in the Katyn forest, a crime for which
Soviet Russia never accepted responsibility.Czapski's account of
the years following his release from the camp, the formation of the
Polish army, and its arduous trek through Central Asia and the
Middle East to fight on the Italian front is rich in anecdotes
about the suffering of the Poles in the USSR, quotations from the
Polish poetry that sustained him and his companions, encounters
with literary gures (including Anna Akhmatova), and philosophical
thoughts about the relationships between nationalities.
