Embark on a historical journey connecting Poland and South Africa through shared humanity. Visit the landmarks that define the “Polish Heritage Route,” moving from the town center to the serene natural beauty of the surrounding area.

In 1943, Oudtshoorn became a sanctuary for over 500 Polish children and their caretakers fleeing the devastation of World War II. Welcomed with open arms by the local community, these “Children of Oudtshoorn” turned a place of trauma into a place of healing.

Travel through the symbolic landmarks of their journey—from the military school that became their home to the waterfall where they rediscovered the joy of childhood. Hear a story of resilience, compassion, and the enduring bond between Poland and South Africa.
