KATYN MEMORIAL
2 Exchange Place, Jersey City, NJ 07302 Directions
Since 1991
Here’s The Deal:
Katyn Memorial boasts stunning views of Manhattan's West Side. The monument memorializes the massacre of over 20,000 Polish soldiers at Stalin's orders after the Soviet Union had invaded Poland in 1940. More than 7,000 Polish prisoners were killed personally by Stalin's chief executioner Vasily Mikhailovich Blokhin, making it the most prolific mass murderer in world history. The truly disturbing memorial is the gleaming contemporary buildings, bars, and park benches lining the waterfront. The knitted soldier statue resembles one that was found more commonly behind the old Iron Curtain. The Jersey statue violently captures the terrible events that have taken place in the KatyForest.
