Weekly Review No. 169 - New Zealand Soldiers and Polish Children
Short Film (Full Length) – 1944
24 May 2021 - 09.15pm
Amazing story of the 700 plus Polish Children who came to live in New Zealand - well produced film for it's time. The story of these children, their survival in Siberia and escape via Persia (Iran) is well worth a bit of research. Quite a fascinating story really.
