Today, 75 years ago, Soviet Union invaded Poland

[berto]

Today marks the 75th anniversary of Soviet Union's invasion of Poland from the east, sixteen days after Nazi Germany's attack on that country from the west, in accordance to the notorious secret protocol of Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

An inconvenient truth that some political parties would like to remain secret, or have us forget. Whitewashing history?

Thanks for the reminder.

It gets worse. I once worked for a Polish-Jewish professor. As a youth, he fled the Nazi invasion, only to be imprisoned -- by the Soviets! His entire family was shipped off to labor camps in Russian Karelia and Siberia. He alone survived the war, eventually gaining asylum in, ironically, West Germany, then finally making his way to the U.S., where he had a distinguished career as Professor of Economics and Finance at the Business School, University of Chicago (where I worked for him).
