Katyń Pro Memoria
A virtual walk through the Polish War Cemetery in Katyń, guided by the voices of Polish, Russian and British artists.
A project of the Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding, co-created by the Plac Teatralny Foundation
A walk of remembrance
“Katyń Pro Memoria” is a project of the Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding, which the Plac Teatralny Foundation had the honour of co-creating.
Katyń is one of the most significant places of Polish remembrance. It is the resting place of Polish Army officers murdered during the Second World War on the orders of the highest Soviet authorities. Because of its distance, the cemetery is not easily accessible to everyone.
The idea behind the project was to create a website offering a walk through the Polish War Cemetery in Katyń — a sacred place in Polish history.
Introducing the project
Guides through the cemetery
The Foundation invited distinguished Polish, Russian and British artists to take part. Their voices guide visitors through the story of the cemetery and its history.
