PDF Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar with Free EASY Reading!

I was four years old when my parents, brother and I left communist Poland in 1969. My mother's immediate family survived the Holocaust; they were assimilated Jews who escaped the Warsaw Ghetto during the third week of the deportations, and survived in large part because my grandfather (Władysław Winawer) and the head of Żegota (the Polish Home Army's Jewish Assistance Division) were friends. My grandfather was co-counsel for Kazimierz Moczarski in 1956, when K.M.--who had been a high-level officer in the Polish Home Army and was therefore arrested and sentenced to death by Poland's Stalinists in 1945--was released after 11 years of Stalinist prison hell, including two years during which he was tortured in 49 different ways physically, along with 255 days in the same cell as Jürgen Stroop (who murdered or helped murder most of the last 60,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Ghetto Uprising; K.M. had tracked Stroop during the Nazi occupation of Warsaw but could not find an opportunity to assassinate Stroop -- KM write the most insightful book about a Nazi war criminal ever published, which was translated into English as Conversations With An Executioner). When KM was released in 1956, he refused to accept an amnesty, and is the only victim of a Stalinist show trial I am aware of who sued the communist government that had falsely imprisoned him, demanding official recognition of his innocence of the preposterous allegation that he had been a Nazi collaborator. When the court ruled in his favor, not only he, but also the Home Army was rehabilitated in communist Poland. Eleven years later, my mother and my godfather (who became Poland's third post-communist prime minister) represented my mom's best friend, Janusz Szpotański, who received three years in prison for writing privately circulated satire about the Party leadership. I became friends with "Szpot," my godfather (Jan Olszewski) and many of my parent's friends when I lived in Warsaw for six months in 1988, at age 23. Reading such a personal portrait of Stalin and his primitive henchmen is a very personal experience for me, given my family's survival of both Hitler's and Stalin's occupations of Poland. My parents were on the Polish Security Service's list of top 10 most dangerous dissidents abroad in the 1970s. I still shake my head in dismay that typically the leaders of powerful nations have only a remnant of a conscience by the time they attain the power they sought. To paraphrase Socrates: the most dangerous leaders are people who seek such powerful positions. He may have been correct in suggesting that citizens be randomly chosen to run government for fixed terms. Reading this book, I felt I had come so close to the mass murderers who ran the Soviet Union that I felt I needed a shower after each time I read about them.
