Re: 181 page book with 8 700 Deported families - uploaded to the Hall of Memories


 

Dear Krystyna,

Thank you so much for uploading this - it is truly an amazing document. Though my own family are not listed (8,700 out of up to 1.7million so not that surprising) I am just curious if anybody knows, or if the introduction (which is in Polish) explains how and why so many families contacted the Ambassador in Japan? I am surprised the Soviets would have allowed letters to be posted outside of the USSR, to Japan (which was viewed as a potential invader to USSR)? And I wonder if deportees did not contact any other Ambassadors around the world and whether any other lists therefore exist (given the NKVD did not keep these files).

Thanks again
