Summary/Abstract: The review article concerns the latest monographs of Polish scientists with the participation of a Japanese journalist, which are devoted to the results of many years of scientific research on the fate of Polish children as victims of the First and Second World Wars. The common denominator of the analyzes is the reconstruction of the repatriation of Polish children from Siberia to Poland after World War I and after World War II. The author invites you to read two monographs by Wiesław Theiss, including one written together with Teruo Matsumoto from Japan and a historical study from 1944–1948, which Witold J. Chmielewski devoted to the repatriation of Polish refugee children from Siberia to New Zealand. Using these books should help to improve the methodological workshop of education and upbringing historians.
