Possibly 10 million native Congolese died of overwork or starvation, during the brutal rule of Belgium's King Leopold. His men enslaved the natives and forced them at gunpoint to harvest rubber, and ivory, to finance building his palaces. Those who didn't meet their quota had their limbs cut off, or their families held hostage. The natives were paid nothing. He claimed he was doing them a favor by having them baptized Catholic. After many years, Leopold finally stopped due to gradual awareness and protest, especially by British humanitarians. All incriminating records were burned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Leopold's_Ghost

It was the largest such event in modern history and resulted in the largest single loss of American civilian life in a deliberate act until September 11, 2001. The Story of the Jonestown Massacre
I think Katyn is a well-known fact, ( even because of the Nuremberg process,) but the one I've learned only recently about, was the massacre in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.

True, but I've many ordinary Americans who never heard of the Katyn incident. The Volhynia massacre is less known. Those this incident was heinous, Poles did their share of mistreating and persecuting Ukrainians and Germans.
