Communications related to the death of President Lech Kaczynski

The Polish Museum of America expresses its deepest condolences

The Polish Museum of America expresses its deepest condolences to the people of Poland and Polonia on the tragic deaths of President Lech Kaczynski, First Lady Maria Kaczynska, and the delegation that was traveling with them to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre. Our sympathies are with the Kaczynski family and the families of all those killed in the plane crash. This tragic event is a personal loss for The Polish Museum of America – many of those who have perished had visited our institution numerous times and had become good friends of many members of the PMA staff. May they rest in peace.
