List of children who went to Montreal, Canada with Father Lucjan Królikowski
In 1948, when the IRO (International Refugee Organizalton) disbanded all the Polish refugee camps in Africa, everyone was sent to Tengeru camp, which was the largest of all the camps. Most families were sent to England. Some of the orphans were dispersed to other countries, which would accept them. One group under Reverend Lucjan Królikowski, was the subject of a dispute with the communist government of Poland, which wanted to repatriate them to Poland. However, this was resisted and Father Królikowski managed ot get them accepted into Canada under the auspices of the Catholic church. They went temporarily to Salerno, ltaly, for about 6 months, then to Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
