This section is set up for displaying photos of Katyn memorials other people have sent me, and information about Katyn memorials.
To reduce loading times and associated problems I have started to set up pages of images which branch off from this one.
This page will still have a brief description of all the images available, including tags to take you to them.
If you have photos of Katyn memorials, or related material, which you are willing to see posted here, with appropriate acknowledgements, please email me with the details and we will see if we can work out the details of how they could be added to this page.
In some cases I may find it necessary to reduce the images sent to me or change their format so I can display them, so please do not hold the suppliers of the images responsible for how they may appear on your screen.
The copyright of these images remains the property of the suppliers of the material posted on this site as listed with their material. Please contact them directly if you wish reproduce these images.
Yes, we do have Katyn memorials in New Zealand.
The memorial shown below is in Wellington, in one of the Catholic churches in the center of the city.

    The Katyn memorial at the Southern Cemetery, Manchester. Sent to me by Stefan Kloczko and Marek Zurawski.
    The memorial was the initiative of the local Polish community - who not only funded it but also had to go to great lengths to persuade the local town council authorities to grant it the required planning permission.
