Abstract
The Polish Army created in the territory of the USSR, commanded by General Władysław Anders, was established under the Sikorski-Majski agreement of July 30, 1941. The international situation favored efforts to evacuate Poles. The talks with Józef Stalin of the Polish authorities in exile and the command of the Polish Army with the support of the Western Allies led to the consent of Poles leaving the Soviet Union. The evacuation of soldiers with the civilian population was carried out in April and August 1942, mainly by sea to the Iranian Empire. The discussed living conditions of the Polish population in centers in: Pahlavi, Mashhad, Teheran, Ahwaz, and Isfahan show that the stay of Poles on Iranian soil is characterized by improvement of living conditions, significant regeneration and hospitalization, children‘s education and cultural and social activities. The civilian population remained in Iran until 1945.
