Join us for an evening of remembrance, culture, and conversation at POSK. We will honour the victims of Katyń while exploring how memory and history continue to shape the lives of younger generations.
The evening begins with a talk on the Katyń Massacre, followed by a screening of Small Time Obsession by director Piotr Szkopiak — a drama about young British Poles, descendants of those who remained in the UK after the war. Earlier this year, POSK screened his acclaimed The Last Witness, which addressed Katyń more directly; this new screening continues the dialogue, connecting past and present.
The programme concludes with a Q&A with the director, creating space for discussion, reflection, and sharing experiences within our community.
📍 Sala Malinowa, POSK
🎟 Free entry (registration required)
🍽 Optional meal at Łowiczanka Restaurant (after the event) — a chance to continue conversations and connect with fellow attendees.
This is the first in a series of two events to bring us together honouring memory and fostering dialogue 85 years on since the Katyń atrocities. As before, Talking and Exploring has teamed up with The Polish Social and Cultural Association (POSK), The Polonia Aid Foundation Trust and with Piotr Szkopiak, an independent filmaker of Polish roots to familiarise the diverse community of London with the events that shaped the fate of so many.
The second event will be held on September 22nd when we will meet at at 11 am at The Katyń Memorial in Gunnersbury Cemetery. It is on Eventbrite as a separate event: Remembering Katyń Victims - Memorial Walk & Discussion.
