and marked by death and deprivation. africa was heat color and life. tongue an acre is where human a meaning failing in the wilderness. and since that's how the refugee children were growing up, they were the most adapt to doing that. i. the 1st modern refugee camps in africa were for white europeans, 40000 polish women, and children, spirit and 2 dozen villages across 6 countries. for the post children growing up there when they would later call africa with less of a geography than a shared experience. something like this to see you know, i don't know. it's hard to believe to people who didn't seem to advertise

. i don't know. i don't know what the future sank in my mind and in my name is ida. i missed well, even needs anybody from africa, leg a p and you know, because you, your memory takes you back. this is the class. no windows, no doors. it was just the roof and as you can see here, some wolf, but the rest wasn't covered because there was no glass being in africa. it was a quiet place far away from war. we were saved from bombardments. let us say from the disaster of war. so the 6 years we were in

a quiet place when he came out of africa, we were ready to face the work for the british authorities. the poll status has white refugees created problems. they were european, but they lived in traditional huts, not colonial houses. and the polls broke, the british impose rules like not socializing, with the indigenous population. the children, especially, were growing up immersed in other cultures. if they were being raised to be polish, they were also becoming something else we'll, we'll bring it up for now. share of tonight, okay, with the when you're in de la, i got your message. when you go to that 3 there and we swam, we jumped from the big,

big rock and that one was high. so we could jump from then we could dice was a very adventurous. busy but we used to do that. who was getting me well, she said for now i can, we can give you a call. we are going to the new if your goal is to start, you know, they start to see you that you are open to them like they have to you next day they come and they ask you to come to their house, come and see over the hourly or later and you better one us. i was one of my number like i knew i knew i do not know cleaned it up or would you leave the was it home? africa?

no, never to me. never never. i because it was nice there it was. love so far and i had lots of french med because i was sick so often with malaria to me i couldn't see when we found that we can leave go to england for me. it was, you know, not fast enough. i started with malaria, they said that was and i will see them. i was in the hospital put away so and very often practically, once a month i used to fancy school and they used to send me to hospital who had the one the ambulance in the can. where was the hospital? it's on the hill near the orphanage. it go up a hill, and i mean to look from the bottom down there,

here it looks beautiful. me, me. i i grew up here in the tens and you and i did the poland. oh, hadn't just been refugee camp, but a full polish town of 5000 people. i tried finding people would remember my grandmother, but there was little of the polls and nothing of her. the round hats were all torn down and the richard g can had been turned into a college. the only place i could connect to was the camp hospital where she had almost died several times for malaria.

my camera kept pulling me towards a shot. it was like, i felt her presence as it part of her might still be here, cut in time law on the refugees who survive like my grandmother expected to go home and rebuild that same country. but while europe was celebrating the end of the conflict, the refugees and camps across africa were finding out that they wouldn't be going on me. oh, or the 1st chunk of course was that when the war ended, they couldn't go home. because fallen had been given to the so essentially control by moscow. very few people who had gone through the good leg had any desire to go

back to a country that was ruled essentially by the soviets. by reference in the 50s, i actually got introduced the church of multi volume history of the 2nd world war versus when my heart broke. because it was way back then through churches own writing that i realized how incredibly badly poland was treated was like a greek tragedy. because you know, in a greek tragedy, you can see the final and come in and you know that it's reversible, nothing can stop. but so you started on the trail coming and of course it did. ah,

[000:00:00;00] ah, the 1st polish refugees returned to poland after the war, quickly figured out what going home would mean. suspicion, questioning, and in some cases, re deportation to siberia. tens of thousands of citizens in refugee camps across africa, and the middle east, by their time, and tried to figure out what would happen next. not only did the western allies now have to determine where the state was people belonged. but also how to explain the situation. ah, during the war tradition, american newsreel said the poland was a victim of nazis. but if the poles in africa had been victims of nazis and the

nazis had been defeated, why weren't they going home? after 6 years of a war that started was pulling, being invaded, unoccupied. it still wasn't free. it was fully occupied by one of the 2 countries that had invaded it in 1939, the soviet union. when the post refugees across africa were eventually we settled in england, australia, canada, and other countries. they were left off, the posts were monuments and slowly over time, the story was quietly swept away. where you were born, used to be paul. and now it's not, it's russia, russia, it's mirrors. so are you pose? yes, we are polish. yeah. your part a shout from loveland. listen to paula. yeah. i mean

we have cool and everything. i don't think we have directions or something, no pure polish. so she spend your whole life overseas. where does, where is your position? how can you be? oh, it will be polish. our church just have our musicians and they say all my children and they went to the school and they were young in canada. so they, oh, cd auto except to my grandchildren. they don't speak parties, they understand, but they don't, you know, i'm here to pull at them for their yes, but do you feel for me? well, i'm not in so many of you english sale. what about the the i don't feel like this in canada. no, i don't like how it is. i think that not really come in in

denver. yes, i am punish him from that, but i am canadian 100 percent. oh no. i throw the stories, connect in poland, and tens, and you, i was one of those raised with an understanding where we were from my grandmother was among hundreds of refugees from east africa. we'd ended up in montreal, 900 fifties. i grew up in a country from people carrying ghosts from other places. it was only when i started asking questions about her own that i began swimming her recording would only existed in her stories and only shown there a few times before she died unexpectedly. me .

i, after her death boxes for photos and documents, were handed to me from among her belongings. there were images of things that she never told me about. maybe she'd forgotten about them, or maybe she just wanted to keep some for herself ah . without a voice to guide me through them, they were the faces of strangers. i found a photograph of my grandfather. he'd been taken to a nazi concentration camp as a slave labor. with his one photo and the name of the camp. i could tell his story more easily than hers, even though he died before i was born. when the war had started,

our families had rushed to bury the deeds, the land under one of the buildings. i thought of how many families had done the same thing. and of all the things that i never sought to ask and of everything they would stay buried forever. i, when her voice was gone, the connection to my own history for gone as well. so i put everything away for 2 years. i for almost 200 years. her 2 world wars and a half a century of communism. these buildings had survived. and now,

only 2 years after i had 1st seen them, i was watching the last pieces in my family's connection to this place, being taken apart and carted away. uhm, the next time i came here, there been nothing before us. i finally understood why my grandmother had been haunted by everything that was no longer there, but with her eyes. so drew on to landscape. ooh, ah,

ah. you know many times when i went back this time i went to the spot in the woods with her and i was able to find something from from there. so the problem i oh, oh, it gave got it in there. okay. yeah, that will be from a place where there was or the things i think my lack of because and then prior places there was a very big yes there. remember all of them. you know, there's not much left there, but you know, pieces there are for me to find that in the would. it reminds me of all the stories . my grandmother told me that you told me something from you. my

well, i'm in the toilet. i've been here 50 years. this been i have now been. it's from $9.00 to $6.00 to $6.00. and murder, think match or play enough fair, but i will come here to this house. so more than 50 years now. so that's my problem. that's my problem. bellotta, which is my home my home really home. ah, he was 8 years after i 1st interviewed my grandmother and they found her history laid out as bare facts. i had been looking as long as she'd been

a refugee who's 800000 of these pages later, the life details of polish refugees arriving in east africa after surviving siberia . there was a page for there by my grandmother intends india. in september, $943.00 as a 13 year old child risk g. ah, i thought of my professor who had question history because he hadn't read it in his paper carry more weight than what she told me. oh, the. i know when i got home to material, i got an email from the archive saying that they hadn't covered footage from the refugee camp in 10th near unseen since the war. i opened the video in images that had spent

a lifetime dreaming of started playing in front of me. oh, only a few 1000 women and children made it from siberia to this refugee camp in africa. of them, only a few dozen made it into this rejected newsreel footage and the exact same place. i looked for her 5 years earlier. my son, my grandmother's face walking in front of a refugee camp hospital, young malarial, 3 years after being deported to siberia. far from home and smiling. i thought that they've been nothing left of her. when a student ruth intends near. it's only looking at this footage though, that i understood that she'd been teaching me all along to see what had been erased .

ah . the longer i look at these images, the more they have to say they're full of hidden messages. that it took me a lifetime to understand. it was 1988. the last year of communism in poland. nobody in the room knew that in just every year, the country would be free. i was 11 years old. the exact same age of my grandmother when she was deported. it was the marriage between the children of 2 polish refugees in the towns that our parents and grandparents were from were no longer in the country. they've been born in according to come in his poems. the people in this room didn't exist, but there they were. forgotten wanderers would sing to me and polish farsi and to

healy. they spoke of poland is focused iberia, and they spoke of africa. it was a room of their monuments and no one truth or official book to turn to in through stories told from others the children and grandmothers to grandchildren. they were keeping their history alive and it was lifetime act defiance. ah, this isn't my story. it's the story of my friend, jesus. she told us that she didn't want to be here. she didn't want to live anymore . was too hard. a survivor dedicates her life to educating and saving others from suicide. we're the ones that are dying, where the ones that are losing our friends,

and therefore we have to be the ones that we stand up and solve it because no one else is going to. where there is hope, a witness documentary on not just the hello there. the weather remained. flossie dry and sunny across much of the middle school. a little bit of wet weather just coming into turkey over the next day also . but nothing too much to speak of as a very hard to back down at 49 degrees celsius. 44 there. full q. wait. and even hearing though, how we're touching 40 degrees over the next couple of days may was a couple it looks dry. 29. celsius here, that's not wester weather, i'm more than positive turkey just around the black sea using over towards the caucasus charles have one or 2 shells just around the solomon of the red sea, him on a 2 shelves on the other side of the water, actually into a few other clutches, storms rolling off the opium highlands, some wet weather there for that western side of

e. c o p. south. so dancing some sharps. now as you gander. also looking while the wet, along with northern parts of the democratic republic, congo, running across into the gulf with guinea, some more lively downpours coming through here. southern africa, there it does look lousy. try and settle. there will be one or 2 showers into towns in northern parts of mozambique. we have of course, seen that ref, snow and 2 parts of south africa recently things looking a little quiet over the next couple of days on a drive for much of south africa with the heck towards the weekend rain pushing in to the western cape. the frank assessments, by way, it is freedom, surprising informed opinions what you saw happening get come on to it was 40 to the was petune is the critical debate that we have here is not between kula and any

other than we have gone through here between 34 years re running to keep people in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on our jazeera, the, me a crumbling economy and an armed resistance. we take a look at the priorities, the head for the taliban, as it prepares to governor governor. also we travel to east up god, it's dawn to find out what people say about the future under the new rulers. ah, rama knew what they were like my headquarters here in coming up in the next 30
