More victims of the 1940 Katyn massacre discovered in forest near Kiev

Remains of Polish officers who were murdered by the Soviet security services during the Katyn slaughter in 1940, have been discovered in a forest in Bykownia, near Kiev in Ukraine. "We have undoubtedly found traces of Polish officers. We have found 70 Polish officers' uniforms, Polish ladies' shoes, Polish coins and a notebook with Polish notes," said Andrzej Przewoznik, the General Secretary of the Council in Memory of Struggle and Torment. A forest in Bykownia had become a graveyard for victims, including Poles, Ukrainians, Russians and Jews. According to some estimates, around 150,000 bodies were buried in Bykownia.
