🇵🇱🤝🇳🇿W Sejmie otwarto wystawę poświęconą wstrząsającej historii 733 polskich dzieci, które wraz z opiekunami, w czasie II wojny światowej zostały wywiezione do łagrów na Syberii, a stamtąd wraz z armią Andersa wędrowały przez Iran i Indie, by w końcu trafić do Nowej Zelandii,

Ms. Aleksandra Kulak, one of the Pahiatua children who returned to Poland after her time in New Zealand, attended the exhibition and shared heartfelt words of gratitude. She thanked the 🇳🇿 government for giving shelter and security to the Polish children during hard war times.

Scenes in a bar in Annecy 🇫🇷. Had to lip read both anthems but the sound went right up for the haka. Pre-match under spotlights offered a new styling. Apparent crowd silence during the haka. Pretty effective. #CaféDeLaPlace

Nie bądź obojętny. Be not indifferent. The words of Marian Turski, survivor of Auschwitz and the Holocaust, challenge us to stay engaged. A man who knew how to speak truth to power, and who made sure to love life and make many friends. RIP Marian (1926-2025) 🕯️ Moe mai rā.

Aujourd’hui nous avons commémoré l’Anzac Day à Nouméa avec le Dawn Service à la caserne Gally-Passebosc. Le 25 avril, les Néo-Zélandais du monde entier se souviennent des sacrifices consentis par tous ceux qui ont combattu pendant les guerres. #WeWillRememberThem
