History

Two years after the Nazi and Soviet occupation of Poland, the exiled Polish army put 700 Polish women and children on a ship to virtually nowhere. "If we live, we'll meet again," is the last thing they heard from their families. After being denied by every country it touched, the ship finally reached Bombay where it was again rejected by the British. With nowhere left to go, help came from one Indian king. This is the story of Maharaja Jam Sahib, India's own Oskar Schindler.
