description |
In 1940 21,000 Polish intellectuals and officers were shot by the USSR in the Katyn forest. The massacre was hidden by the Russian government and discovered by the Germans in 1943, who used it for propaganda purposes. At the same time, the Soviet Union held the SS responsible for it, involving allied countries in its favor. The article´s purpose is to contribute to Argentina´s political and diplomatic history. To accomplish this aim, the public reception of the massacre is linked to the Country´s foreign policy statements, and how these statements were used by the different internal political actors. The first section presents the Roberto Ortiz (1938-1942) and Ramón Castillo (1942-1943) governments foreign policy’s, and its relationship to the reports of the Argentine consuls in Europe about the Polish officers´ mass graves´ discovery. In the second section, the repercussions in the Argentine public opinion of Katyn's findings are analyzed, interpreting them according to the different alignments of the local political field against the neutral position of the Argentine government in relation to the war and the domestic political reconfigurations. |
