This movie is a story about this horrible, traumatic event of Polish history and shows how communists tried to hide true about Katyń. It's a "must have to see" movie for everybody who wants to know better those complicated times.

Thanks again to everybody for your compassion for our national tragedy. |
Something that also isnt well known is that the NKVD started the Katyn massacre to make room for Finns.
They planned to bring the Finnish officers, national guards members etc. in the same camps.
