These images were taken last night, as the sea of candles increases in the main square. The railway carriage is actually a temporary memorial for the Katyn WWII massacre, in which thousands of Polish soldiers were sent to the forests of Katyn and murdered by the Russians. Ironically, it was to the 70th anniversary of Katyn that the Polish Presidential delegation was flying to.
