The extraordinary, although unfortunately little known, story of the Indian Maharaja of Nawanagar Jam Saheb Digvijaysinhji, who during World War II saved thousands of Polish children orphaned during the Soviet deportations of Poles to Siberia. Even though these events took place over 80 years ago, the memory of them is still alive among the rescued Poles and the Indian people who had the opportunity to meet them when they lived in settlements in Jamnagar and Kolhapur in India. As I could experience by myself, we, as Poles, can still feel the Maharaja's kindness when visiting India.
