Katyn -World War II & the Politics of Historical Truth

The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, in partnership with Molloy University, invites you to a compelling and timely program examining one of the most significant and often misunderstood events of World War II history—the Katyn Massacre and the German announcement of the discovery of the graves on April 13, 1943, and the inter-relationship of the NKVD and the Gestapo between 1939 and 1941.

On Sunday, May 17, at 2:00 PM, we are honored to welcome researcher Krystyna Piórkowska, whose extensive international archival work has brought new insight into global awareness of Katyn, specifically the deep knowledge of the crime that the Western Allies had and yet concealed. She will lead a thoughtful lecture and analysis reflecting on the acclaimed film Katyn, exploring its historical context, accuracy, and enduring relevance.

While the film will not be screened during the program, we strongly encourage attendees to view it in advance to fully understand the Massacre and engage in the discussion. You may watch the film here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljJXenEMi2w
