Poland Commemorates 1939 Soviet Attack And Katyn Crime

WARSAW, POLAND – SEPTEMBER 17: Hundreds of Warsaw high school students gather at the Monument to the Fallen and Murdered in the East to mark the 86th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland, honoring the victims of the Katyn Massacre and all those killed under Soviet repression, in Warsaw, Poland, on September 17, 2025. The Katyn Massacre, carried out by the NKVD on Joseph Stalin’s orders in the spring of 1940, claimed nearly 22,000 Polish officers, border guards, police, and intellectuals after the German-Soviet pact of 1939, which led to the partition and occupation of Poland at the start of World War II.
