A Little Poland in India screening

2017-Nov-12 @ 15:00 - 15:52

The Little will screen A Little Poland in India (Anu Radha, Sumit Osmand Shaw, Poland / India 2013, 52 min.)

During World War II, about 1000 Polish children from occupied Poland and Soviet prison camps in Stalin's Siberia, travelled all the way to Gujarat in India, where Jam Saheb (Ruler) Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja of Nawanagar took personal risks to built a camp for them in a place called Balachadi, 25 km from his capital city Jamnagar. The film is a rare glimpse into the lives of five of the survivors, settled now in Warsaw (Poland), as they relate unique heart- warming stories of their "home" in Jamnagar and Balachadi where they spent four years (1942-46) of their childhoods.
