Weekly Review No. 169 - New Zealand Soldiers and Polish Children Synopsis
This 1944 newsreel documents arrivals at a Wellington wharf from the Middle East: New Zealand soldiers and Polish children. For the refugees it was the conclusion of an epic wartime survival tale: an exodus from Poland via Siberian labour camps, to being greeted by Prime Minister Peter Fraser in NZ. The Poles then take the train past waving crowds to their new home: a camp in Pahīatua. Twenty years later the children were revisited in Kathleen O’Brien’s classic 1966 documentary The Story of Seven-Hundred Polish Children.
Weekly Review No. 169 - New Zealand Soldiers and Polish Children (1944) is a documentary film, released on January 1, 1944 with a runtime of 8m. It stars Rex Walden.
