Temporary Exhibition “Evidence of crimes – documents excavated from mass graves in Mednoye, Kharkiv and Katyn” in Wrocław
On 10 April this year, the exhibition “Evidence of crimes – documents excavated from mass graves in Mednoye, Kharkiv and Katyn”, prepared last year by the Katyn Museum, was officially opened in front of the Garrison Church on the Market Square in Wrocław. The outdoor exhibition has been organised by the Lower Silesian Katyn Family and The Depot History Centre.
The exhibition presents invaluable personal items discovered alongside the victims of the Katyn massacre during exhumation works carried out in the 1990s. These archival materials—many of which are being shown to the public for the first time—were inscribed in 2024 on the Polish National Register of the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme as some of the most valuable documents preserved in Polish collections.
The exhibition is located in the square beside the Garrison Church — the Minor Basilica of St Elizabeth in Wrocław. This site holds particular significance, as on 5 March this year three skulls of victims of the Katyn massacre were reburied there following anthropological examinations conducted in 2015 by the investigative division of the Institute of National Remembrance.
