The country's first public memorial for the Polish soldiers killed by Soviet secret police during World War II in the Katyn Forest massacre. This centerpiece of Exchange Place in Jersey City, NJ, stands along the Hudson River waterfront.
The 17-foot statue of a Polish soldier, his hands tied behind him and his back pierced by a bayonet, is mounted on a granite base.
