"The mustachioed, Ukrainian-born Jew was the last of Stalin's "faithful
comrades-in-arms" - the inner Kremlin circle that included Vyacheslav Molotov,
Lavrenti Beria and Georgy Malenkov - who helped create Stalin's brand of
totalitarianism. ... Kaganovich, who joined the Bolshevik Party when he was 18,
played a "sinister role" in the years of Stalin's terror, according to Soviet
historian Roy Medvedev. ... As early as 1932, Kaganovich helped wage a ruthless
terror in the northern Caucasus that resulted in the deportation en masse of
the inhabitants of large Cossack villages. As first secretary of Moscow's
Communist Party organization in 1930-35, he was responsible for the
construction of the capital's subway and the eradication of many historical
monuments and churches. ... He was head of the Communist Party's agricultural
section for a time and thus personally involved in the liquidation of the
private holdings of the Soviet peasantry, a long and violent operation that led
to millions of deaths and badly damaged the country's ability to feed itself."
The mass executions of the Polish captives were organized by Y. Raichman, a
Jewish commissar of NKVD under direct commands of Lavrentyi Beria.
Lazar M. Kaganovich was one of Stalin's Jewish henchmen.
In March of 1940, an NKVD mission came to Krakow to work out with the Gestapo
the methods they were jointly to adopt against Polish military organizations.
The Polish underground and Home Army was occupied Europe's largest and most
effective resistance by far - but only in the German sphere and not in Soviet-
occupied Poland. In 1939, having joined and/or worked for the NKVD, Jews in
eastern Poland helped in the capture and deportation to the Soviet Union of
1.5 - 1.7 million Poles. When Germany occupied that part of Poland, Jewish
bands armed by the Soviets were killing Polish anti-communist partisans.
But the most savage death toll came later, in slave camps of Kolyma and
Uzbekistan, where inmates, women, men and children never survived longer than
two years. 7
In the Kolyma gold mines, the annual death rate of Polish slaves alone rose to
more than 50 percent in 1940. After 8 hours of inhumanly hard work, they
received a bowl of potato soup and a slice of frozen black bread. My relative
survived the Siberian death camp because he ate raw dead owls and small
rodents. In the death and labor camps of Kolyma more than 3 million prisoners
died between 1935 and 1955. Polish, German, Rumanian and Finnish war prisoners
who worked in the gold fields were the third generation of Soviet slaves.
Working bulldozers sometimes excavated a huge mass grave and "scraped up these
stiffened bodies, thousands of bodies, thousands of skeletal corpses, twisted
fingers, putrefying toes, frozen stumps, the dry skin scored with blood, and
hungry blazing eyes." 8
Prisoners and slaves of the Vorkuta and Pechora camps who worked in temperature
below zero, coerced by the desperate instinct of survival ate their own vomit
and even flesh of killed fellow prisoners. They were too weak to escape or to
resist. One Polish survivor described the human phantoms of Kolyma camps: "It
was a procession not of human beings, but of corpses and trunks. The majority
had neither noses, lips or ears." 9
Female slaves in the Gulag were constantly raped by the camp guards who
infected them with syphilis.
KATYN
"IN MEMORY OF THE KATYN MASSACRE
25,700 Polish officers, Polish citizens, Polish prisoners of II World War were
murdered in the early spring of 1940 in one operation. A single shot to the
back of the head on orders from the Soviet government. In Katyn Forest died
15,000 Polish officers. The other 10,000 were executed in various undisclosed
places throughout Russia. The exact number of Polish deaths is not known.
Anyone who might be able to attain leadership and become the future opposition
against the Soviets was immediately dispatched.

Committee of the Politburo USSR. It was signed and Approved by: Joseph Stalin,
