The article mentions 1947. In 1947, my wife’s grandfather was imprisoned by the Communist authorities after returning from Great Britain. He fought with the Polish forces on the western front of WWII.

In 1947, some members of my mother’s family were imprisoned in Communist concentration camps in the Soviet Union. My father was in the camp since 1945. My mother would be sent to the camp in 1949.

More recently, the authorities carried out an extremely vicious, brutal campaign against our family. No one stood up in our defense.

The article is a typical ersatz story.
