A community of wives, children and grandchildren of the officers murdered in Katyn, Katyn Families have for many years made a major contribution to the preservation of the memory of the truth concerning the Katyn massacre. The documentary film titled "Katyn – The True Story of a Lie" focuses on how those closest to the murdered accepted the absence of the truth about the crime and how they felt about it over the years. Elaborated by the Polish History Museum and directed by Emil Marat, the film tackles individual helplessness towards official lies as well as attempts at fighting against them discussed by Wanda Rodowicz, a granddaughter of Major Stanisław Rodowicz, Witomiła Wołk-Jezierska, the daughter of the artillery lieutenant Wincenty Wołk, as well as Krystyna Krzyszkowiak and Ryszard Adamczyk, the children of the chief of the Polish police in Sarnaki. The historians Prof. Tadeusz Wolsza and Dr Sebastian Ligarski are at hand to help understand the context of the events discussed.
