    Absolutely amazing! This isn't just about the beautifully crafted memorial statue. But the view of New York City across the Hudson is impeccable . It is absolutely breathtaking

    A breathtaking monument reminding of the cruelty of Soviet Russia and the sad and tragic history of Polish soldiers during the Second World War. Combined with the view of Manhattan, it creates an interesting composition, where the past and war are combined with prosperity and modernity.

    I understand that some local residents might find this monument a bit controversial due to very graphic depiction of violence. However, I believe it's also a great piece of art - in contrast to many traditional monuments. People not familiar with the topic will immediately ask: What does this monument refer to? On the other hand, we are normally used to passing monuments often without even properly noticing them.

    Right next to the waterfront with a lot of food trucks. A great place to come in one of the weekend evenings and spend time eating a light dinner. Dosa Spot, Mexican grill and other food trucks have some nice options for you.

    Standing ten metres tall, this bronze statue memorial to the Katyn massacre creates a stunning foreground image when viewed against the distant backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. An etching remembering other Polish people who were cruelly deported to Siberia is also prominent at its base. Situated on an elegantly paved square, the arched figure in violent death pose lurches agonizingly heavenward and elicits an attentive response from its observers. Tragically eight decades later yet another Russian totalitarian expansionist regime commits more genocidal crimes against humanity in its invasion of the free Sovereign Democratic nation of Ukraine!

    Oh this is definitely a great place to go. It's a memorial on the pier. You have the best view of the Manhattan skyline. Also, there's plenty of great food trucks. The statue itself is very beautiful. It's majestic. And the piers are wonderful. You can bring your whole family and find plenty of food and seating for all. I've come here with family, with friends, with anyone and everyone, and there's never a dull moment. Would recommend this place to anyone.

    Great if you don't like communism, not great if you like communism. Otherwise a pretty nice statue if you don't care either way.

    This is both a powerful and very emotional monument to the brutality endured by the Polish people at the hands of the Soviet occupiers during the Second World War. The statue itself is beautifully crafted but difficult to look at for too long, given the graphic nature of the massacre it depicts.

    The food trucks on the weekend are the best thing about this place. Dosa spot is yhe one you have to try. Along with halal food and popcorn and ice cream, it becomes a complete food festival.

    I went there for the first time in my life today. The statue has been described as 'shocking' by some... Shockingly awesome'would be more aptly correct! Love it! Respectfully, of course, considering the atrocity it represents.

  • 5/5 Przemek �. 1 year ago on Google
    This monument should stay in place to remind everyone about what communism and totalitarianism can lead to. Especially today when the same things are happening in Ukraine.
