Presented by: Irina Makoveeva, Mellon Assistant Professor of Russian; Germanic and Slavic Languages Department and Frank Wcislo, Dean of The Commons, Associate Professor of History Poland (2007) Dir: Andrzej Wajda.

This film by Andrzej Wajda—a renowned veteran of Polish cinema and a recipient of the 1999 honorary Oscar—tells a long-silenced story of the Katyn massacre following the near-simultaneous Soviet and German invasions of Poland in 1939. Approximately 20,000 Polish officers, who represented the country’s intellectual elite and therefore constituted a potential threat to Poland’s sovietization, were captured, imprisoned, and murdered under Stalin’s order. Officially, this tragic event was a forbidden topic in Poland and the source of continual distrust between the Poles and the Soviets. Polish, Russian, German with English subtitles. Not Rated. 121 mins. Funding provided in part by the Germanic and Slavic Languages Department. DVD.
