Iran and Poland’s’ communications refer to the past about historical relationship between the two countries. It’s just important to know that polish merchant carriages traveled to Iran before the Safavid period around 1747 AD. In the Safavid era, the Shah Abbas Safavid established his own trading office in the port of Grand-Duke of Poland. With the outbreak World War II, the invasion of Poland by the Nazi forces from the west and the Soviet Union from the east tens thousands of Polish citizens were exiled to concentration camps in Siberia and Kazakhstan. After the German invasion to the Soviet Union Poland, Resistance Forces asked the Soviets for the release of Polish prisoners. In 1942 about 115,000 Polish citizens, including soldiers, men, women, and civilians were entered to the port of Anzali from the Caspian Sea by ship. Militants and volunteers left Iran to join the European Resistance But thousands of civilians and women and children remained in different cities of Iran up to 3 years. Due to malnutrition during captivity and the spread of contagious diseases, many militaries and civilians died during their stay in Iran and were buried there. The tomb of about 1,900 people is located in the Catholic cemetery of the Poles in southern Tehran and there is also a Polish cemetery in Anzali.
