The pain of losing a loved one is immense. I ve learn t this over the years of 'cinema experience'. Frivolous it may sound, it is true.

The Second World War has interested me greatly. The Katyn Massacare especially. 22,000 humans were mutilated. Their bodies lay on the forest grounds of Katyn. Imagine the plight of the families that were expecting their POW husbands, fathers, sons. Put yourself in the shoes of that wife who receives news from her husbands best friend that her husband is dead. That husband, for whom she has been waiting for the last five years. Imagine the state of the mother who has lost both her husband and her son at the same time. It was a dirty war. The dirtiest of all.

The numbers are staggering. Those who died at Katyn included an admiral, two generals, 24 colonels, 79 lieutenant colonels, 258 majors, 654 captains, 17 naval captains, 3,420 NCOs, seven chaplains, three landowners, a prince, 43 officials, 85 privates, and 131 refugees. Also among the dead were 20 university professors ; 300 physicians; several hundred lawyers, engineers, and teachers; and more than 100 writers and journalists as well as about 200 pilots. The list is endless.

The sad part is that these soldiers didnt lose their life fighting, they were executed. It was methodical. They were shot at the back of their skull so that the bullet came out through their forehead and sometimes through their noses.

It is sad.

I cant bear the pain, even now, to feel what she felt.

Time Passes.
