There is a small Polish diaspora in Mexico. According to the 2005 census, there were roughly 971 Polish citizens living in Mexico.[1] Furthermore, by the estimate of the Jewish community, there may be as many as 15,000 descendants of Jewish migrants from Poland living in Mexico.[2]
Migration history [edit]
The first Poles arrived in Mexico during the years prior to World War II. In 1943, a group of about 1,400 Polish refugees founded the Colonia Santa Rosa in Leon, Guanajuato, the first Polish school in Mexico.[3]
