E.A.Komorowski and Katyn

I think that Komorowski could escape from the Katyn grave.In the book "Katyn" by L.Fitzgibbon (New York, 1971, p.135) one can find an English translation of the German documents. In the Final Report of German Police (p.139), dated June 10, 1943,I quote: "With a few exceptions, all the bodies show pistol-shots in the head...". Taking into account that more than 4,000 bodies were exhumated, 13 Komorowski's friends killed during their march from Kozielsk Camp to a railway station, can be the above exceptions. There are many facts, given by Komorowski, which can be verified: - Komorowski's life before World War II (Poland, study in London (Bexley Institute)and Brussels), - his stay in Scotland, England and in the USA. No effort was made to verify it. Komorowski was born in 1901 or 1902. If he is alive, he should be now about 100 years old. If he died, then where is his grave?

Blockbuster!

Some who have read "Night Never Ending" understandably find the story unbelievable. Fortunately, I got to know the author well (not Col. Komorowski, but Joe Gilmore). Joe was as skeptical of the Colonel's story as any of us, but met with him and grilled him much as the FBI or CIA might have done.In summary, it is the story of a Polish officer imprisoned by the Russians and shipped with the others to the Katyn Forest where -- even the Russians admit today -- they were dispatched by the NKVD (KGB). But this one man manages to escape. I did much research on Katyn for my historical (some called it hysterical) novel, FOR THIS ONE HOUR, published before NIGHT NEVER ENDING. My fictional hero, Jan, escapes similarly (but at the time there was no evidence that ANYONE survived). So, when NIGHT came along, I was most interested and it started a rewarding correpsondence with Mr. Gilmore (who also has West Virginia connections). One thing that pretty much proved to me NIGHT's authenticity was the fact that Readers Digest offered big bucks for the story but Komoroski refused (still fearing for his life). Gilmore was, naturally, very disappointed.It's a most exciting story as the Col. comes tothe USA and escapes repeated further attempts on his life. One wonders if he is still alive (or to what end he came?)

Night Never Ending

This book provides a chilling account of a Polish POW who claims to have survived the Katyn forest massacre in Poland in 1941. Evidence suggests, however, that the author obtained his information about Katyn from historical accounts rather than first-hand experience. Read this with caution - the story of Russia's annihilation of 10,000 Polish officers during World War II is true, but Komorowski's account might not be.

An amazing first person account of history's cruelty

This story of "Night Never Ending", is in itself incredible reading, but the fact that it was written almost 20 years ago during the height of the cold war is sensational. More current offerings of literature on this subject hauntingly confirm the detail of horrors described by Eugenjusz Komoroski, the sole survivor of the Koselsk prison camp and Katyn mass murder. Please read "The Murderers of Katyn" after you read "Night Never Ending" you will be amazed at the accuracy of his description of events during 1940.
