While the Western Polish territory was invaded by German troops from the East Poland attacked Soviet State. Soviet troops invaded the eastern areas of the second Polish Republic at dawn on September 17, 1939, in contravention of the international law.

Soviet aggression has accelerated the collapse and partition of our country, which has lost in this moment forever your territory in the Eastern borderlands. Poland and its citizens found themselves in a bind. Banishment to Siberia, the persecution of Poles, crime on Polish officers in the Katyn massacre and subsequent dependence on Moscow were the result of aggression of the German and the Allied Red Army for our country.

In the ceremony:

·         h. 18:00-Mass. in the Cathedral of St. Wojciech

·         h. 19:00-submission of flowers and candles at the monument to the victims of Katyn 1940 and Smolensk 2010
