Tehran Children – from Siberian Frost to Palestinian Sun. The role of Polish Embassy’s diplomatic posts in the USSR and Anders’s Army in rescuing Jewish children

Summary/Abstract: This article tells the story of Jewish orphans evacuated with the Polish Army (Armia Andersa) in 1942 from the USSR to Iran in the context of the help they received from Anders’s Army and the Polish government in exile through the network of diplomatic posts of the Polish embassy in the USSR and the Ministry of Labour and Welfare (Ministerstwo Pracy i Opieki Społecznej). It shows the broad and often complicated and dif􀏐icult cooperation of these institutions with Jewish organisations, including mainly the Jewish Agency. The authors characterise the various forms of help provided to Jewish children and analyse its motivation, often discrepant. Moreover, it asks questions about anti-Semitism in Anders’s Army and how it in􀏐luenced the rescuing of Jewish children.
