Polish civilian camps in World War II
During World War II thousands of Poles who had been sent to Siberia after the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland managed to leave the Soviet Union with the Anders' Army. They ended up in Iran, India, Palestine, New Zealand, British Africa, as well as in Mexico.
== Background ==
In 1939, following German and Soviet attacks on Poland (see Polish September Campaign), the territory of the Second Polish Republic was divided between the two invaders. Eastern Poland was annexed by the Soviet Union, and soon afterward Moscow began a program of mass deportations (see Sybirak, Population transfer in the Soviet Union, Poles in the former Soviet Union). Hundreds of thousands of Polish citizens were forced to leave their homes and were transported to Siberia, Kazakhstan, and other parts of the Soviet Union. There were several waves of deportations during which whole families were sent to different parts of the Soviet Union.〔(Exiled to Siberia. A Polish Child's WWII Journey. By Klaus Hergt. Crescent Lake Publishing )〕
The fate of the deported Poles improved in mid-1942, after the signing of the Sikorski–Mayski agreement. An Amnesty for Polish citizens in the Soviet Union was declared. The Anders' Army was formed, which attracted not only soldiers who had been kept in Soviet camps, but also thousands of civilians, including a number of Polish orphans whose parents had perished in camps. Thousands died along the way to centers of the newly formed Polish army, mostly due to an epidemic of dysentery, which decimated men, children and women.〔(The Polish Deportees of World War II by Tadeusz Piotrowski, page 94 )〕
