As many times as I have been to Baltimore, I suppose I had missed this area, plus I knew nothing about this memorial or the Katyn massacre. It is a striking memorial, and I am so glad we happened upon it.

This monumental structure is worth a look if in the area. It is a memorial to those Polish victims of a Soviet massacre during the World War II era. It's in the center of a traffic circle so might not be worth looking for parking to later walk up to the sculpture that is this memorial so maybe just worth a drive by unless you're staying within walking distance. You can later then Google the Katyn Massacre for more information.

This is a beautiful monument, with the story behind the event and the artwork itself clearly told in two large written displays. I wouldn't say it is worth driving to for it alone, but if you are in the area on foot, it is worth a detour. The blocks around it have some trendy retail stores, a Whole Foods, a movie theater, and are just a block from a marina and the Harbor East water taxi/water connector stop.

This sculpture is beautiful, i'm just not sure how it fits with Baltimore or the harbor. Surrounded by upscale restaurants, hotels and retail stores it's an interesting call out by the community. If you are searching for a reminder of a Russian atrocity or following some of your polish roots, then perhaps worth seeking it out, otherwise may be best enjoyed if you happen upon it like i did.

Amazing tribute to Poland. Not many people realize what this statue represents. A significant amount of Polish immigrants came to Baltimore particularity in the canton, Highlandtown Dundalk area. Good to know that we remembered all those soldiers that died for freedom.
