Exiled childhood
In a harrowing journey spanning a decade, 123 Polish orphans endured one of history's most forgotten stories. From the hell of Soviet deportation to the sands of Asia and the camps of Africa, finally reaching Canada, they lost their homelands and their identities were erased. But their testimonies, etched in tears, expose how totalitarian regimes swallow children's lives in the name of war.
Children after the war
In the aftermath of World War II, where rubble became a daily reality, rebuilding walls wasn't the greatest challenge; it was the restoration of childhood. Amidst this devastation, the principle of "the best interests of the child" emerged as a legal and moral guiding light, redirecting attention to what truly mattered: saving an entire generation from the consequences of war. Between court rulings and struggles of conscience, stories reveal how this concept transformed from a legal text into a humanitarian act that altered the destinies of thousands of children.
