In 1943 Prime Minister Peter Fraser invited a group of Polish children to New Zealand for the duration of the war.

A camp for the children – dubbed ‘Little Poland’ – was established near Pahīatua in Wairarapa. Most of the refugees chose to settle in New Zealand after the war. Relatives joined some in the late 1940s, while a small number returned to Poland.
