Długa jest lista zbrodni i nieszczęść, które dotknęły wtedy wschodnie tereny II Rzeczypospolitej i obywateli polskich, którzy się tam znaleźli. Składa się na nią zbrodnia wojenna rozstrzelania przez NKWD ponad 20 tysięcy bezbronnych jeńców, polskich oficerów, wysiedlenie setek tysięcy obywateli Rzeczypospolitej, osadzenie ich w nieludzkich warunkach w obozach i więzieniach oraz przymuszanie do niewolniczej pracy. ... Organizacja systemu, długotrwałość i skala zjawiska nadały tym zbrodniom, w tym zbrodni katyńskiej, znamiona ludobójstwa. . Long is the list of the crimes and misfortunes which befell the eastern regions of the Second Polish Republic and the Polish citizens who happened to be there. It comprises the war crime of shooting more than 20,000 defenseless prisoners of war, Polish officers, by the NKVD; the displacement of hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Republic of Poland; placing them in inhumane conditions in camps and prisons and forcing them to do slave labour. ... The organization of the system, the persistence and scale of the phenomenon give these crimes, including the Katyn Massacre, the hallmarks of genocide..
