Or one group of humans onto another group! We look at this as one of those "never forget and it will never happen again" type of situations, or we like to think that I the way mankind should be. And where are we today? Damn near the same thing under similar ideology crap as so many years ago! I must say, it certainly puts a different twist to my rides on Russian trains during 1992! :-( ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Wajsman Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 11:28 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Russian Train Hi Ted, No, I was referring to this historical event, one of the lesser-known war crimes of WW2, and NOT perpetrated by the Nazis for once: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn The film I mention, by Andrzej Wajda (also mentioned towards the end of Wikipedia write-up), contains some incredible scenes of the Polish POWs being transported to their place of execution in Russian prison trains.
