This is an amazing piece of art, the pain and suffering inflicted by the Soviets on WWII Polish officers is very intensely represented in the contorted postures of the statues. I saw the monument in Jersey City too but this one is so much more poignant.

Impressive memorial. The background information given next to the monument was appreciated. A good sightseeing stop for those with an interest in Polish history or a connection to Poland.

Stunning monument to commemorate the victims of Russian barbarism and lies regarding the massacre of Polish military officers and members of the educated class in the Katyn Forest area. Signs and granite plaques give additional details about the monument and famous Poles who contributed to American history.
