More Chinese civilians were murdered by the Japanese army than Jews murdered by the Nazi's also, in my understanding.
I agree that we need to have more awareness of all of the mass killings that occured in this time - I would guess that one difficulty in viewing the massacre of the Pole's as a single event is that actually they were being massacred by two opposing armies... the Russian and the German.
I always remember something I read at uni (I dont have a source) about the massacre of 2000 Polish villagers and how the Germans were being tried for it at Nuremburg, but then they found out that actually the Red Army did it, so they just dropped it, no justice when the perpetrator is still strong...
