In Polish: a geological and archaeological study of Colima Mexico including studies of its terrain and volcanic possibilities. Extremely uncommon publication from the Polish refugee colony at Santa Rosa near Leon in Guanajuato Mexico. Thousands of Polish refugees were first sent off to Soviet gulags and from there were placed in mainly British commonwealth countries including Iran and India although some ended up in Israel. The United States in trying to forge an alliance with Stalin declined to make room for Polish refugees although some indeed did end up on the west coast where they were put into Japanese internment camps. But the Mexican ambassador to Britain Alfonso Rozenzweig Diaz an admirer of the Polish General Sikorski who had pleaded with Roosevelt for assistance offered to put up a community of Poles in Santa Rosa Guanajuato where he made a "hacienda" available schools and school supplies which were supplemented by Polish-American organizations in the States. When the war ended in 1945 the President of Mexico made the Poles remaining at Santa Rosa welcome to either apply for permanent residency or to leave to Poland which was then under Soviet control and therefore almost as unwelcoming as it was under the Germans. Only a handful who had family back in Poland chose to return. Most others ended up in the United States but some who had married or established businesses stayed on in Guanajuato. Most of the Poles who ended up in Santa Rosa were at the end of a 2-year 20000km journey filled with much hardship.
