Summary/Abstract: As a result of provisions of the so-called Sikorski–Majski Agreement, in 1942 two large waves of Poles exiled from the Soviet Union arrived in Iran. The soldiers of Gen. Anders’ Army were accompanied by almost forty thousand civilians. According to the accepted terms, they were to be further evacuated by the British forces as soon as possible, but the situation in the war fronts and logistic problems hampered a swift implementation of these plans. For many Iran became shelter and home for several years. The Poles who were there during World War Two left a rich journalistic heritage in Iran.
