POLAND, A BETRAYED ALLY

Presentation of the documentary My Home India, a little-known story of unimaginable humanity, generosity, and kindness. Towards the end of WW2 the Polish ambassadorial team in Bombay, led by the determined heroine, Kira Banasinska and supported by local Indan communities including the principalities of Kolhapur, Jamnagar, and several others, dispatched a convoy of food relief and other essentials, thousand of miles to Iran, where Polish refugees from Soviet Siberian labor camps had found their way on foot and were suffering, malnourished.
