The Polish Club of Atlanta is planning to bring the Katyn exhibit to Atlanta in February 2011.  The exhibit, which consists of many panels illustrating and describing the tragic events of the mass killings of thousands of prominent Polish citizens by the Soviets in 1940, was put together by the Kosciuszko Foundation.  In recent months, it has been touring many American cities and has even shown in The Library of Congress in Washington DC.

 In our state, Georgia Perimeter College has agreed to host the exhibit in its library in Clarkston.  The educational character of the location will encourage local student participation as well as spark the interest of greater Atlanta community, giving them the opportunity to learn more about that very tragic part of Polish history.   We are planning an opening with a short overview of the Katyn events, the showing of the film “Katyn”, and a panel discussion featuring the Polish and American community and students.

 The admission to the Katyn Exhibit will be free of charge, but the costs of shipping the exhibit materials will amount to about $4,000.

 In order to make this possible, we are appealing to our Polish community in Atlanta and everyone who wants the world to know the truth about the Katyń massacre for financial support of this very ambitious and important endeavor.

 This historical event cannot take place without your help.

If every family in our town would donate at least $10.00, our goal could be very quickly achieved.  Every dollar counts.

 WE KNOW WE CAN COUNT ON OUR POLISH COMMUNITY IN ATLANTA
