Artykuł recenzyjny dotyczy najnowszych monografii polskich uczonych (także tych stworzonych z udziałem japońskiego publicysty), które są poświęcone wynikom wieloletnich badań naukowych nad losami polskich dzieci jako ofiar I oraz II wojny światowej. Wspólnym mianownikiem analiz jest fakt rekonstrukcji repatriacji polskich dzieci po I wojnie światowej i po II wojnie światowej z Syberii do Polski. Autor zachęca do przeczytania dwóch monografii Wiesława Theissa, w tym jednej napisanej wspólnie z Teruo Matsumoto z Japonii, oraz historycznego studium z lat 1944–1948, które Witold J. Chmielewski poświęcił repatriacji polskich dzieci-uchodźców z Syberii do Nowej Zelandii. Sięgnięcie do tych książek powinno sprzyjać doskonaleniu warsztatu metodologicznego historyków oświaty i wychowania.
