Andrzej Duda honored the victims. "Their only crime was their loyalty to a free Poland."

"This was a planned extermination of those who refused to lay down their arms due to the fact that they refused to admit enslavement as liberation," Andrzej Duda emphasized on the 80th anniversary of the Augustów Roundup. President-elect Karol Nawrocki besides posted a message in the media, commemorating those who died as a consequence of these immense atrocities.
