The massacre was hidden by the Russian government and discovered by the Germans in 1943, who used it for propaganda purposes. At the same time, the Soviet Union held the SS responsible for it, involving allied countries in its favor. The article´s purpose is to contribute to Argentina´s political and diplomatic history. To accomplish this aim, the public reception of the massacre is linked to the Country´s foreign policy statements, and how these statements were used by the different internal political actors. The first section presents the Roberto Ortiz (1938-1942) and Ramón Castillo (1942-1943) governments foreign policy’s, and its relationship to the reports of the Argentine consuls in Europe about the Polish officers´ mass graves´ discovery. In the second section, the repercussions in the Argentine public opinion of Katyn's findings are analyzed, interpreting them according to the different alignments of the local political field against the neutral position of the Argentine government in relation to the war and the domestic political reconfigurations. En 1940 la URSS fusiló a 21.000 intelectuales y oficiales polacos en el bosque de Katyn. La masacre fue ocultada por el gobierno ruso y descubierta por los alemanes en 1943, quienes la emplearon con fines propagandísticos. En paralelo, la Unión Soviética responsabilizó a las SS de su autoría, involucrando a los países aliados a su favor. El objetivo del artículo es aportar a la historia política y diplomática argentina. Para ello se vincula la recepción pública de la masacre con los enunciados de la política exterior de nuestro país y con cómo ellos fueron usados por los distintos actores políticos internos. En el primer apartado se presenta la política exterior de los gobiernos de Roberto Ortiz (1938-1942) y Ramón Castillo (1942-1943) y se la relaciona con los informes de los cónsules argentinos en Europa acerca del descubrimiento de las fosas comunes de los oficiales polacos. En el segundo apartado, se analizan las repercusiones en la opinión pública argentina de los hallazgos de Katyn, interpretándolas en función de los distintos alineamientos del campo político local frente a la posición neutral del gobierno argentino en relación a la guerra y de las reconfiguraciones de política doméstica.
