An exceptional meeting with Dr. Sylwia Szarejko from the Siberian Memorial Museum, author of the bilingual (Polish-Japanese) book “Polish Children in the Land of the Blooming Cherry”. This publication presents a little-known yet deeply moving episode from Polish history – the fate of Polish children evacuated in the 1920s from Siberia, engulfed by civil war, who found refuge in Japan.
