Constanze TressApril 12, 2010

Polish President Lech Kaczynski will be laid to rest this coming Saturday, one week after he and 95 others were killed in an air crash in Russia. Many senior members of Poland's military and political elite were on the plane when it crashed, and Poland is still trying to come to terms with the tragedy. Over the weekend, tens of thousands gathered spontaneously to pay tribute to the victims. The outpouring of grief continued on Monday.
