At the turn of January and February 1946, a Special Action Unit of the National Military Union, commanded by Lieutenant Rajs, pseudonym "Bury," pacified five villages, killing 80 people. The victims were exclusively Orthodox Belarusians. Among the dead were 28 carters, kidnapped on the outskirts of the Białowieża Forest to transport the Unit. After a few days, when the carters had fulfilled their task, they were shot and buried in a mass grave. It took 50 years before the families of the murdered could learn the fate of their loved ones. After half a century, on the initiative of a committee bringing together the families of the victims, an exhumation was carried out. The religious ceremonies accompanying the burial of the remains of the shot carters were attended not only by the families of the victims, but also by the local community, both Belarusians and Poles, who showed their solidarity with them.

"Dear Mr. President!" - this is how Zosia Kaczynska titled her letter, asking Boleslaw Bierut - on behalf of herself and her three siblings - to release her mother from prison. This letter did not reach the addressee. Most of the requests for clemency, written by convicts and their relatives, already at the beginning of their journey to the head of state received a note in the prosecutor's office or court: leave without further course. Historian and archivist Janusz Kotanski and former political prisoner Janusz Horodniczy followed in the footsteps of documents found in the archives in search of those harmed by Stalin's repressive apparatus.
