Auckland Heritage Festival: Journey of Survival – Talk

Join us for a talk, illustrating the remarkable journey of 733 Polish children and 102 adult caregivers who were deported from their homeland to Russia.

They then travelled to Persia under the protection of the Allies and later arrived in the safe haven of New Zealand, all during World War 2.

You are welcome to stay on and linger at the museum… enjoy the many colourful displays: costumes, tapestries and stamps; discover many 'Famous Poles'.

Copies of books and DVDs by and about members of this Polish group will be available for purchase afterwards.

Museum entry by donation. No booking required.
Groups by prior arrangement – fee applies.

The Polish Museum is for all New Zealanders and visitors.
"GLAM" Gallery, Library, Archive, Museum.
