Hi Julek,
I understand where you're coming from and think that you are perhaps
correct. Another group or site dedicated to this exercise may be more
productive in certain matters. However, I see no reason why this group could
not act occasionally to make representations, ask questions, press and lobby
politicians and others, in order to 'help' to bring issues into the public
domain. This could be done by members as individuals, and also by the
moderator for example, on behalf of the group as a whole and at the request
of members.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of this period of history and the crucial
episodes/facts to which you refer, is practically zero. As such, I feel I
would not have much to offer to the type of group you are contemplating, but
I wish you well if you should decide to persue this. Perhaps other members
will share your idea and support you seperately from this groups work.
I'm not sure, but the recent message from Halina, with regard to the IPN and
it's request for information, may provide the type of platform that you are
looking for.
Regards, Ken.

Ken,
Many historical facts were or are in error or are hidden or forgotten, AS
with many historical facts I don't think anything is being done to change
things. It seems that nothing is ever done to correct much of the Polish
mis-information.
"Others" form a strong group which speaks up and keeps pushing until things
like this are brought to a conclusion and are corrected.
Ken as you know, Once "facts" are incorrectly stated or written it is almost
impossible to change history. So,
I suggest that some of us start a site that might address some of the more
important issues that we would like to correct and see what we can do to
help in these matters. Or that we take up certain matters off line as
coordinated e-mails to each other.
