A sombre scene in the old market square of Toruń: pictures are on display of some of the 20,000 Polish soldiers murdered by the Russians during WWII at Katyn. The exhibition marks the 70th anniversary of the masacre and was originally situated in the court yard of the Town Hall. However, due to Saturday's devastating tragedy in Smolensk the exhibition was moved to a more central location in the square.Ironically, the Presidential plane which crashed in Smolensk was on it's way to a memorial service to mark Katyn.
Katyn will now go down in Polish history as a terrible double tragedy for the nation.
