On the 10th of April 2020, marking the tenth anniversary of the Smolensk catastrophe and the 80. of the Katyń Massacre, the Polish Ambassador Iwona Woicka-Żuławska and the Consul of Poland Anna Śmiałek-Grzyb, in tribute to the deceased lit candles and laid flowers on the grave of Polish pilots and Cichociemni (The Silent Unseen) buried at the Vestre Gravlund cemetery in Oslo. In 2010, a special Tu-154M plane crashed near Smolensk, with the President of the Republic of Poland Lech Kaczyński and the First Lady Maria Kaczyńska on board. All 96 passengers – top state officials, military commanders, clergymen as well as the plane crew –died during this tragic event. We remember them on this day, as well as the more than 22 thousands victims of the Katyń Massacre, killed in 1940 by the Soviet NKVD.
