"You know why the government doesn't want to uncover the location of planned exhumations? Look at the exhumation photograph in Wola Ostrowiecka" – Leszek Miller wrote on the headliner. Is piles of bones the only reason for the secretation of the exhumation?
I remember the subject of Ferdinand Goetl's "Times of War", showing what can besides be done in the process of conducting exhumation works of discovery... Our witness to the Katyn exhumation mentioned that "by the way" the exhumation of victims of the russian execution was exhumed by older bodies, most likely from the 1920s. With Catholic medallions on his neck. That's how it happens erstwhile you do excavations - there are things you've never looked for. Then the light of day could see Bolshevik or peasant crimes from the times of the revolution and the perpetuation of russian power.
It is possible that the second reason, in addition to the fear of material proof of the animalization of Ukrainians murdering Poles, was the fear of exposing the earlier "field of death" which would show that the extermination of our population in the east was a permanent option and whose implementation depended only on favorable circumstances. Full control of the possible exhumation process by its secrecy may be a safeguard against any specified undesirable conclusions being reached. There are inactive so many questions about whether we truly know who we're helping...
I erstwhile talked to a decent Russian, in a way my relative, who told me that he understood a lot in Polish, due to the fact that his grandma came from Smolensk and spoke specified a language "very akin to Polish", as he said. Does anyone talk "very akin to Polish" in Smolensk today? On the lands taken, a giant cultural cleansing was carried out, which we inactive do not realize. The secretation of exhumation serves to limit the anticipation of developing awareness of the scale of anti-Polish crimes in the east, bringing decades of extermination to the "Volyn crime", which was only an episode of Polish gehenna on the land taken.
