Albert Hesse was one of the most eminent German professors of economic law and statistics. He was educated at the University Hale-Wittenberg, but spent most of his life, as a researcher in Wroclaw (1921–1945). In the period of Weimar Republic, he became one of the most prominent specialists, in his fields of research. He was engaged in various activities, connect ed with international organisations and on the forum of the League of Nations. What is more, he was also, initially, a worker, and then the co-director of East Europe Institute in Wroclaw, though in 1933, after the Nazis had taken over the power, he lost this position. The time of the Third Reich, was the beginning of Hesse’s end as a researcher as threads of the national socialist ideology appeared more and more often in his academic work, which contributed to a decline in his prestige. Nonetheless, there was no solid evidence of his possible harmfulness to anybody, which allowed him to continue teaching in the postwar Germany.

The crime perpetrated in Katyń emerged in international politics during the times of World War II, but the Allies did not recognise the basic facts concerning the Soviet genocide perpetrated upon the Polish officers in Katyń. An objective stand upon the events which happened in Katyń was not taken with regard to the USSR. The present article, which has the nature of an overview, presents some of the aspects of the Katyń crime in the political and social history of the USA, Great Britain and Sweden. The denial or the tendency to pass over in silence the Soviet agency of this act of genocide met with animated social opposition of the representatives of the Polish community in the West. The latter used their own resources to sent a message of the truth about the events in Katyń to the citizens of some of the democratic countries in the West through the mass media and to commemorate the victims of the crime perpetrated in Katyń e.g. through the construction of monuments.
