Litigation Concerning the Katyn Monument is Currently Ongoing
Edward Wojciech Jeśman, President Polish American Strategic Initiative July 12, 2023
Hudson County Superior Court Judge Martha D. Lynes has denied the Exchange Place Alliance’s motion to dismiss Counts 2 and 3 of our court case against the Jersey City Planning Department and Exchange Place Alliance District Management Corporation, which we are pursuing in defense of the Katyn Monument. The denial was issued with prejudice, our court action remains whole, and we are proceeding with the case.
The Katyn Monument is undoubtedly one of the most important and well-known symbols of the genocide of Poles during WW2. Unfortunately, the actions of the Jersey City Planning Department and Exchange Place Alliance District Management Corporation have created serious issues. The most egregious issues are their placement of a concrete wall in front of the Monument and their annexation of a large portion of the public plaza surrounding it for private use. The wall only blocks access to the Monument, causing it to be obscured, degraded, and marginalized. As you know, the current political environment encourages the rewriting of history and this revisionism has become increasingly fallacious and antagonistic toward Poland and the Polish people. We must defend our historical truth and our Memorials. The wall in front of the Katyn Monument must be removed!
