This Sunday, on 16 April 2023, the Katyn March of Shadows set off from the Museum of the Polish Army in Warsaw for the sixteenth time. It was preceded by a Holy Mass at the Field Cathedral of the Polish Army. The March is a tribute to nearly 22 thousand Polish citizens murdered by the Soviets in 1940 in Katyn and other execution sites in the East.

The organizers of the 16th Katyn March of Shadows are the Institute of National Remembrance and the Historical Group "Zgrupowanie Radosław".

The memory of the Soviet crime in Katyn must remain vivid. The soldiers of the Polish Army, officers of the State Police and Border Protection Corps, who were killed with a shot to the back of the head cannot be forgotten. 

The March was preceded by a Holy Mass at the Field Cathedral of the Polish Army. About 250 reenactors from various parts of Poland dressed in Polish Army, Border Protection Corps and State Police uniforms took part in this year's March. The March passed silently through Warsaw’s Royal Route and the Old Town. The event ended at the Monument to the Fallen and Murdered in the East, in Warsaw’s Muranowska Street.
