Hello,
I am 69 years old and lecture in a university. One day in 1944, when I was returning from school (I was eight then), I came upon a terrible aircraft accident, when a Mustang aircraft had crashed into my parents farmhouse. I would like to trace the family of the pilot Wladyslaw Jan Szajda, Flying Officer P1740 of 306 Squadron, who died in the accident. He was flying a Mustang FX881.
He was born in Tarnopol in 1919.
My father and a doctor tried in vain to rescue Wladyslaw, who was trapped by his legs. I have thought much about thid incident over the years and only today have discovered, who was involved.

This is an amazing web site.
My mother, Kazimiera Sikorski (Szymanski, before her marriage), was in a Soviet camp (Siberia) and is one of the refugees, who made it to Lebanon. This is, where she met and married my father, Zdzislaw Sikorski.
My mother is 84 years old and still talks about her experiences during the second world war. I have learned an incredible amount of information from your web site. Thank you so much!

Dear Katyn Memorial,
I have made a donation to the Katyn Memorial Museum in honor of my family physician, Dr. Dariusz Koscielniak. Dr. Koscielniak recommended that I read a book entitled KATYN; The Untold Story of Stalin's Polish Massacre (author, Allen Paul). After reading this most extraordinary account I am better informed and deeply moved by the strength of the Polish people. Dr. Koscielniak is a credit to his profession and to his native country, Poland. Thank you, Dr. Koscielniak.

My mother's side of the family had a surname LENCZEWSKY-SAMOTYJA. Here I have found the record of Stanislaw LENCZEWSKI-SAMOTYJA, who surely belongs to our family.
I am looking for information about my ancestors and relatives in Poland and all over the world. If somebody knows something about that family, please contact me.
My present surname is Samatyia, according to the rules of the Belorussian spelling (I come from Belarus). Thank you!

Witam serdecznie,
Poszukuje informacji o bracie mojego dziadka - Franciszek KASJANIUK. Jego nazwisko jest na Liscie Katynskiej. Wiem, ze byl w obozie w Ostaszkowie, a w kwietniu 1940 roku zostal zamordowany w Kalininie (Twerze).
Do chwili odnalezienia Jego nazwiska na Liscie, rodzina uznawala Go za zaginionego. Tragiczne losy zatarly wszelkie slady - nie wiem w jakiej jednostce sluzyl, w jakim stopniu - jezeli ktos wie, ma jakies wspomnienia na Jego temat - bardzo prosze o kontakt.
Jezeli Jego szczatki spoczywaja w dole smierci w Miednoje - a tak pewnie jest, chcialbym w Jego rodzinnej wsi na cmentarzu postawic Mu tablice... zapalic znicz...
Niestety, nie ma nikogo w rodzinie, kto moglby Go wspomniec - wojna zrobila swoje...

As soon as I read my Grandfather's name (WILCZYNSKI Wladyslaw Antoni, Major in the Polish Intelligence), the tears just filled my eyes. No matter how much time passes, the raw emotional pain of these men's terrible deaths stabs at the hearts of their loved ones with the same dark potency as it did in those days of destitude following the war. Some events in history are just to horrific to ever be forgotten.

I was born a Gawryl. However, I was told our name was changed due to spelling. My grandfather and grandmother are from Poland - I think, I belong here. His name was Lucas Anthony [Lukasz Antoni - EM]. I am not sure about the exact spelling of the last name. He married Angelina - they had 13 or 16 children. My father's name is Stanley Anthony Gawryl.

Great web site. It is very important to remember the past, and especially the grand wrong-doings, which must never be allowed to be repeated. The brave officers were slaughtered in a manner in which one does not even kill cattle or pigs.
They must never be forgotten, and we must always honour their memory.

Looks like there is still some work to be done on the site but already I find it an interesting source of historical facts (I presume they are...) and perspective.
My grandfather, Anastazy POLOM, was murdered by the Russians at Katyn. I found the whole read on the subject very intriguing. I flipped the site link to my dad. I am sure he feels a certain level of comfort in knowing that the memory is being nurtured. Thanks.

My name is Andrew Kavchak and I am the grandson of Stanislaw KAWCZAK, who is listed on the Katyn Memorial Wall. Our family never forgot, and if the communists think we will ever forget they are as stupid as they are cruel. Before WWII my grandfather wrote his memoirs of fighting in WWI. The book, "Milknace Echa", was considered one of the best military autobiographies in Polish literature.
I have always considered anyone who gave the NKVD or KGB a hard time a hero. And no one in Canada (where I live) gave them as hard a time as Igor Gouzenko [Guzenko]. He defected in Ottawa on September 5, 1945 and blew the lid off a GRU spy network in Canada. His revelations resulted in the arrest of 20 spies and the imprisonment of 11 of them, including the first of the Atom Bomb Spies to be caught - Alan Nunn May.
In Ottawa, there was no monument or plaque to mark the location, where he lived at the time of his defection. Accordingly, in 1999 I began to lobby the City of Ottawa and the Federal Government of Canada to unveil historic commemorative plaques honouring Igor Gouzenko. In 2003 the City of Ottawa finally did it and the Federal Government followed in 2004.
I did much of this lobbying not only to remember Igor Gouzenko, but in a tribute to my grandfather and all the victims of Soviet communism. Those, who would like to read more may read a text I wrote that was published in 2004 called "Remembering Gouzenko: The Struggle to Honour a Cold War Hero" and visit the following website:

I am looking for information, or a place I can contact to find out more about the Radonski family before the mid 1800s in the Warlubie area. Thank you, Randall

Thank you on behalf of my father, Franciszek Grabowski, who came from Chmielow, Poland but lived in England after the war. He had been to Siberia during the war, suffered immensely and struggled greatly all his life to come to terms with his war experiences and his resulting shattered health. At the end of his life he gave me a piece of paper with the words 'Massacre at Katyn' written on it in his own handwriting. That was all he could manage to write about it ... and I know that it must have haunted him all his life. Today I typed his name into Google and found someone of the same name inscribed on the Katyn Memorial Wall. Strangely though - there is also someone with the same name as his grandson and great-grandson. Perhaps part of my father died at Katyn. Perhaps those, who survive do not really survive the trauma? All I know is that he never forgot and he never forgave. On his behalf I thank you once again for this memorial...

Thank you so much! This is the first time I have seen record of my uncle, Stanislaw LENCZEWSKI-SAMOTYJA and my mother's first husband, Kazimierz POLANSKI - both killed at Katyn. I have grown up hearing stories from both of my parents, deported to Siberia and suffering many hardships during the war. We are not alone. It is such great sadness that needs to be remembered for all of humanity.

He is listed on this memorial, as Tadeusz Piotr HAWALEWICZ. I started reading up on Katyn Woods and how horrible it was. It makes me feel proud to see his name on this web site.

Czy sa Panstwo zinteresowani? Jezeli tak to przesle na wskazany adres. Tyle tylko moge zrobic dla mojego dziadka, ktorego nigdy nie mialam mozliwosci poznac. Pochodze ze Szczecina. Na cmentarzu centralnym jest rowniez pomnik poswiecony pamieci ofiar Katynia i tam tez moglam umiescic tabliczke z Jego nazwiskiem. To tyle, co mozna zrobic dla bliskich - nigdy nie zapomniec o tej strasznej tragedii. Pozdrawiam,

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.
Składam hołd pomordowanym i wszystkim rodzinom prawdziwych patriotów, którzy zginęli z ręki sowieckiej - w 66 rocznicę podpisania zbrodniczego rozkazu rozpoczynającego eksterminację polskich jeńców.
NEVER FORGOTTEN - NEVER FORGIVEN
Piszę po polsku, bo jestem Polakiem. Ukończyłem niedawno 17 lat. Jestem jeszcze młodym człowiekiem, a tak wiele chciałbym uczynić dla Ojczyzny Świętej. NKWD zamordowało w Lasach Katyńskich mojego wuja, Wiktora SAWICKIEGO. Naszym obowiązkiem jest pamiętać, bo gdy zapomnimy o korzeniach, zniszcza Rzeczpospolitą, jak pospolitego chwasta (ten proces zdaje się teraz postępować).
Zrobię wszystko co w mojej mocy, by kontynuować polską myśl patriotyczną. Zrobię wszystko, żeby Polska była Polską! Niech żyje Polska niepodległa!

We should never forget those, who laid down their lives during a very dark period in recent history. Because of their bravery, we can rejoice in what in Western Europe has been for many of us a life time of peace and unbelievable change. This change has been so comprehensive that it can be difficult to relate what happened only some 60 years ago - but we should never forget.

My father was Adam Hr. Szady-Bey (Szadbey in Poland). He was born in 1903 in Czernelica, he had two sisters and a brother. We are of Tartar descent. My father's family had several estates in Czernelica and Chmielowa. In 1939 he met with Stalin and Beria - my father knew the war was on its way, he had to escape Poland. In 1939-1943 he was with the Polish Free Army in London, England. Then, in 1947, he went to Vancouver, Canada. For a long time I have been searching for relatives - our name Szady-Bey is rather uncommon. I write this in honour of my wonderful father - does anyone know about the Szadbey family? Please, let me know. Thank you,

I view these men as true Heroes and Martyrs of the Polish nation. For they were not only murdered as soldiers, POWs, defending us Poles from brutal uncivilized dictatorship, but also as defenders of Christianity and Democracy. Their story is on a monumental scale and can only find comparison in Greek mythology. I am overwhelmed with emotions.

Mam wrazenie, ze Sz.P. Poliszczuk w swoich badaniach na temat nacjonalizmu ukrainskiego spelnia zamowienia jeszcze PRL-owskich sluzb specjalnych. Duzo w tym co pisze jest prawdy, ale reszta... Wyczuwa sie niechec i wrogosc nie tylko do ukrainskiego ruchu nacjonalistycznego (ktory z zasady jest przede wszystkim antypolski, wedlug Autora), ale do ukrainskosci jako takiej. Ale coz, w nasze czasy na takich tematach i takiej jakosci daleko juz nie zajedziesz i naukowych tytulow nie zdobedziesz. Zreszta, kto by to kupil? Radujmy sie!

This morning I had another good look at the Katyn Memorial Wall entries and this reminded me once again that we must never forget the murders perpetrated by the Soviet Union on our nation. My father, Jan PRZEWLOCKI being a policeman in Dubno was imprisoned in Ostashkov and executed in Tver with so many other Polish citizens. His memory will live with me for ever. His son, Richard.

It is with such deep regret I read of the atrocities outlined on this web site. This web site has been instrumental in purveying the truth behind this awful part of our history. Only recently was I unable to uncover the plight of my father's husband, just a teenager at this time, with horror stories of his own. Sadly he was estranged, and deceased before I was able to locate him. To add to the horror, I now find his father Stanislaw BOLTUC, listed on the Katyn Memorial Wall. This was a man, it would seem, not directly involved in the bloodiness of warfare, but a mere veterinarian caring for the horses involved in the regime. Clearly I would welcome any information concerning this name, but I need to stress that this site appears to be the most important repository I have witnessed, and strongly encourage all to unburden themselves to posting all known details here. My heartfelt thanks to the administrators, who have chosen to remain nameless, for the effort and thoughtfulness in creating and maintaining this web site. Without you, my understanding would be far, far less.

The information supplied here is well laid out and seems to be the truth (as opposed to the politically correct lies that we are usually indoctrinated with).
I looked up my surname - there were twenty two Poles with the surname Ostrowski, two of whom have the same first names as my brothers. Any one of these could be my family, who were 'displaced' by the Bolsheviks.
This web site stirred a great deal of emotion in me.

Przypadkowo trafiłem na tę stronę. Jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem. Po raz pierwszy w życiu zdałem sobie sprawę z wielkości zbrodni, która dokonała się w Katyniu. Suche liczby nie oddają ogromu tej tragedii w sposób tak bezpośredni, jak nazwiska wszystkich Ofiar. Gratuluję pomysłu. Serdecznie pozdrawiam autorów. Nigdy nie zapomnimy...

I have just come across your web site and congratulate you for providing such a valuable resource and for commemorating the names of all those, who were murdered in Katyn. I noticed that my surmane appears in the list. My father (Ludwik Karol) was born in Lwow, which was in Poland before World War 2 - they could be his relatives. My father was deported to Siberia, survived the war, and is still alive today.

I just ran across your web site and saw, what I believe to be, names of my Polish immigrant family. Where do these names come from and what would you know about the people. My family surname is Cieslik and they immigrated from Lomza, Poland in around 1908-10. My grandfather (Stanislaw), great-grandfather (Aleksander) and great-grandmother (Paulina Zbinski-Cieslik) all immigrated around this time according to census records here in the USA.
I recently found my family in Poland (a 3rd cousin), who lives on the actual family land in Podgorze, Poland. From this I know my great-grandfather was one of eighteen children from Ksawery Cieslik. However, I only know of two other siblings, who immigrated to the USA - there were likely more.
Thank you for this wonderful web site, and please let me know, if you have information I can pursue. Best regards,

I ran across your Electronic Museum and noticed several entries for the name Michalski. How, if possible, can I check if these are related to my family which came from Poland in the early 1900s? We lost almost everyone in the war and have not been able to re-contact many. I would like to know how to find out more.

Congratulations for a wonderful web site to honour the sacred souls and memories of these magnificent men, sons of Poland. I was interested to see that there were nine Lewickis mentioned: Lewicki Adam • Lewicki Aleksander • Lewicki Antoni • Lewicki Franciszek Jan • Lewicki Michal • Lewicki Stanislaw • Lewicki Stanislaw • Lewicki Wiktor • Lewicki Wladyslaw. I wonder, if they were related to my family? My father was Wincenty Lewicki. He served in the so-called Anders Army under British command, after having intially been taken by the Russians to Siberia at the beginning of the war. My uncle, Kazimierz Lewicki was an officer in the Polish Army having been awarded a "Virtuti Militari" Order. My other uncle, Antoni Lewicki was an officer in the Polish cavalry. If anyone wants to get in touch, or has further information, feel free to contact me. Regards,

I have visited this web site before, but had not a clue that there might have been a relative of mine at Katyn. My maiden name is Rek and my father's family was from Szczebrzeszyn, Poland. Rek is not a common surname and there are very few Reks. I have family in Poland, but they live now in the Poznan area. I believe that somewhere in the genealogy of our family we must be related. My father served in the Polish Army and later, after his release from a Soviet prison camp also under Gen. Anders. I wish he was alive to be able to see this web site. Thanks for posting it. I am constantly looking for information on Polish history as it relates to my family.

This is an important memorial site. Among those, murdered in Katyn, I found the name of my Uncle - Dr. Feliks HAMAC-BLOCH. He was a Polish Jew, a physician by profession, who enlisted in the Polish Cavalry as a soldier. He rose there to the rank of a major. With many other Polish officers he was murdered in Katyn.
His Brother, Leon Bloch survived the war, made a family in Israel and fought for the Independence of the State of Israel. I, his nephew, together with my generation, also participated in the wars in defence of the State of Israel against our enemies so atrocities, like Katyn, could never happen again.
I have a few pictures of my Uncle, Major Feliks Hamac-Bloch with his squadron, in uniform, and can send them to you by e-mail, if you are interested in adding them to the Photo Album. Best regards,

My Grandfather, Jakub PANACHIDA was murdered in Katyn. It was so hard to imagine, what it must have been like for my Grandmother to be left with four young children, all by herself. Not only did Stalin murdered her husband, but "for her own good" he sent her and the children for several years to Siberia!
If anybody has ever heard of my Grandfather, Jakub Panachida, or may bear the same last name, please contact me!

A very good and humbling web site. My grandfather served as a Polish artilleryman in the Russo-Polish war as well as his brother. His brother was MIA. Thankfully, my grandfather survived and came to Canada in the 1920's. I have some pages of his service book and a photograph of him and two other people in uniform. Unfortunately, he died when I was only 4 years old, so I never had the chance to talk to him about his service time. I saw four Gils listed among the names - I can only wonder, who they were and if they are related. Thank you again for the good web site and information.

I found your web site by accident. Then was saddened to see the name of my grandfather’s cousin, whom my father was named after, on the list of memorialized names. I had known that my father was named for him, but was never told that he died at Katyn.
It has always bothered me, how the Germans were held accountable for everything they did during the war, but Uncle Joe Stalin and his rabble were allowed to get away without paying for atrocities, they committed. And now 90% of them are dead and cannot be charged.

We will never forget this horrible massacre conducted by the Soviet regime. Katyn was a part of the communist plan to annihilate the core of Polish intelligentsia and the brake-down of the human spirit. An affront to truth and a slap on the face of God Almighty - the protector of our great, ancient nation. It was a part of a plan to put the human spirit in terrible slavery, the fruits of which we are still harvesting in the post-communist era.
Let us always remember the Polish Holocaust and our Polish heroes fighting courageously for our freedom and for freedom of other nations. May their blood always witness for future generations of Poles, how dear and high purpose it is to protect one's spirit and country!

I was in tears reading the names of the dead at Katyn. I have not forgotten. I remember a professor, who was an American Communist and supporter of Stalin saying that it was Beria's fault in misinterpreting the order by Stalin to take care of the problem with the Polish officers. I have read several books about the Katyn Forest Massacre, but never saw the list of the dead. So many men named Kowalski are in that list. Are they relatives of my grandfather? All my grandparents came from Poland. Kowalski Ignacy • Kowalski Ignacy Nepomucen • Kowalski Jan • Kowalski Jan • Kowalski Jan • Kowalski Jan • Kowalski Jan • Kowalski Jan • Kowalski Jan Kazimierz • Kowalski Jozef • Kowalski Julian • Kowalski Karol • Kowalski Kazimierz • Kowalski Kazimierz • Kowalski Ludwik • Kowalski Mieczyslaw Antoni • Kowalski Mieczyslaw Stanislaw • Kowalski Miroslaw • Kowalski Piotr • Kowalski Ryszard Leon • Kowalski Stanislaw • Kowalski Stanislaw Eugeniusz • Kowalski Stanislaw Stefan • Kowalski Stefan • Kowalski Stefan • Kowalski Tadeusz Leon • Kowalski Tadeusz Slawomir • Kowalski Tom Antoni Erazm • Kowalski Tomasz • Kowalski Wiktor • Kowalski Wiktor • Kowalski Wlodzimierz • Kowalski Zygmunt • Kowalski Zygmunt...

I would just like to say, that your web site is really wonderful, especially the Soviet-Polish War, which, I find it unfortunate, has little information about on the internet. This site has luckily very much! Keep up the good work!

This was my first visit to this Electronic Museum and I must say that it was the most informative 60 minutes on the net. The small print was a bit of a problem for us, mature age persons, but the contents made up for this inconvenience. I found the photographs most interesting and certainly worth "a thousand words". Congratulations,

I was looking for members of my family on the Katyn Memorial Wall, and I found the name of my uncle.
