追加: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]Three of the most powerful men in the world helped bury a massacre.

[00:00:06]On March 5th, 1940, Stalin signed a single document ordering the execution of 21,857 Polish prisoners, officers, judges, pilots, professors.

[00:00:22]Each shot once in the back of the head inside a soundproof NKVD room.

[00:00:29]Bodies buried in trenches 18 m long covered with lime.

[00:00:34]When Wehrmacht troops uncovered the mass graves in 1943, Roosevelt told the Polish ambassador privately, "We cannot afford a break with Russia over a few thousand dead Poles."

[00:00:47]>> [music] >> Churchill warned the Polish government in exile, "If you continue pressing Katyn, >> [music] >> I will be forced to publicly blame you."

[00:00:57]Witnesses were discredited. [music] Files were sealed.

[00:01:01]The Western press dropped the story.

[00:01:03][music] The truth wasn't officially acknowledged until 2010, 70 years.

[00:01:11]Stalin's signature still exists. So do Roosevelt's [music] words.

[00:01:16]History doesn't get buried because no one was watching.

[00:01:20]It gets buried because the [music] right people decided it should be.
