Justice Min. completes project on oppression of Poles by the Soviet Union

Yesterday Justice Minister Hanna Suchocka announced the results a three-year project by experts on the oppression of the former Soviet Union on Poles and Polish citizens between 1939 and 1956. The work is supplemented by a ten volume list of the oppressed prepared by the KARTA Center. "The number of the oppressed we included in the report, 566,000, is considerably lower in comparison to those quoted by emigration historians," says professor Andrzej Paczkowski. The report includes all those who were killed in battles, who died in prisons and camps during the deportation to the Soviet Union or those who were lost or arrested. (Rzeczpospolita, page A3) A.Z.
