Sprawa Mordu Katynskiego

Dziela (The Collected Works of Jozef Mackiewicz), volume 19 In May 1943, having been invited by the Germans and having obtained the permission of the Polish underground (the Home Army) authorities, Jozef Mackiewicz travelled to Katyn in order to witness the exhumation of the bodies of Polish officers murdered there by the Soviets. In 1952, the U.S. Congress Select Committee to Conduct an Investigation of the Facts, Evidence, and Circumstances of the Katyn Forest Massacre heard Jzef Mackiewicz in his dual capacity of witness and expert. An English translation of this first ever book on the subject, published by Hollis and Carter, London, in 1951 as The Katyn Wood Murders, was the basis of translations into other languages, including the German edition of 1949 (Katyn ungeshntes Verbrechen, Thomas Verlag, Zrich). Only the Russian translation (Zaria Publishing Inc., London, Ontario, 1988) was based on the original.
