L. Kaczyński - The most tragic station of Polish Golgotha

The speech that was supposed to be delivered by Lech Kaczynski - the President of Poland - on April 10, 2010 at Polish War Cemetery in Katyn during the ceremony of 70th Anniversary of Katyn crime.

Dear Representatives of the Katyn families! Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

In April 1941 more that 21 thousand of Polish prisoners from NKVD cages and prisons were murdered. That genocide crime was committed of Stalin's will, by order of the supreme authorities of the Soviet Union. The alliance of the Third Reich and the USSR, Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact and the aggression against Poland on September 17, 1939 found its astonishing culmination in the Katyn massacre. Not only in the forests of Katyn but also in Twer, Kharkov and other known and still unknown tragic places the citizens of II Rzeczpospolita (the Second Polish republic) were killed. These were people who were creating the foundations of our statehood, who were relentless in the service to our Motherland.
