In 1940, the Katyn Woods massacre took place as Soviet forces executed approximately 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia. This atrocity was part of a broader campaign to eliminate Poland's leadership and resistance to Soviet control following the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939. The Soviet government initially denied responsibility, attributing the killings to the Nazis, but later faced international scrutiny and acknowledgment of their role in the massacre. The event remains a significant and painful chapter in Polish history, symbolizing the brutality of totalitarian regimes.
