2019

dc.abstract.enIn 1942, Polish civilians started to flock into Iran after two years of deportation in the USSR. Many of them found refuge in different territories in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, where the representatives of the Polish government-in-exile were faced with a huge task of administering thousands of refugees, mostly women and children. The aim of the present article is to highlight the impact of different refugee policies on the displaced persons' everyday life through a comparative analysis of two different Polish refugee centers in East African territories and Lebanon. Factors such as the local political context, social composition, as well as the level of autonomy granted to refugees were also crucial in the immediate post-war period, when the Polish refugees had to choose between repatriation and emigration.
