Stuff has partnered with Top Shelf productions to bring you a new NZ On Air-funded series about New Zealand’s unique historic places and efforts to preserve and share them. Here’s this week’s story from Heritage Rescue.
In 1944, Janet Fraser – wife to then New Zealand Prime Minister, Peter Fraser – persuaded her husband to accept 733 Polish child refugees. Little did they realise the impact it would have on the country and the small rural town of Pahīatua.
For the next five years, a special camp on the outskirts of the town was the children’s home.
