Comment

Nations and states endure and deserve a place in history as long as they preserve the memory of their ancestors and as long as they are able, in the name of deeply understood values of truth and goodness, to pay homage to those who proved their love and devotion to their homeland through their lives. In the name of such a memory, a delegation of representatives of the elite of a free Poland, headed by the President of the Re-public of Poland, Lech Kaczyński, the First Lady, Maria Kaczyńska, and the last President of the Republic of Poland in exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski, went to Katyń on 10 April 2010. They intended to pay tribute to the victims of the Katyń massacre, citizens of the Second Republic of Poland murdered by a shot in the back of the head by Soviet soldiers in 1940. The presidential delegation inc-luded deputy Speakers of the Sejm and Senate, representatives of the Parliament, commanders of all branches of the Polish Armed Forces, employees of the Chancellery of the President, heads of state institutions, including NBP President Sławomir Skrzypek, re-presentatives of ministries, of veterans’ and social organisations, as well as clergy and accompanying persons.At 8:41 a.m. Polish time, the presidential plane crashed when at-tempting to land at the Smolensk airport. 96 people died. by NBP.pl
