Description:
On 22 February 1975, a commemorative monolith erected at the entrance to the former Polish Children's Camp in Pahiatua was unveiled. Because Iran gave shelter to Polish refugees from 1942 to 1945, a visiting Iranian TV crew filmed the unveiling for its viewers. Note the film crew on top of the bus.
