Members of Madisonâ??s Polish community lit candles, prayed and sang the Polish national anthem Saturday in a hastily arranged remembrance for the 97 people – including Polandâ??s president and religious and military leaders – who died earlier in the day in a plane crash in Russia. Arranged by the UW-Madison Polish Student Association and the Polish Heritage Club, about 40 people met at Library Mall before walking to the Capitol. Many carried candles or Polish flags or wore clothes with the countryâ??s colors.
