Abstract

Hitler's expansionism during World War II resulted in the occupation of Poland. Germany and the Soviet Union agreed on the division of Poland, leading to the forced relocation of a portion of the Polish population under inhumane conditions to the Soviet Union. After the Allied occupation of Iran, the settlement of Poles in Iran was imposed. This study aims to examine the consequences of the Polish influx on Iran's health and hygiene between 1941 and 1945. This article has been reviewed using a descriptive-analytical method and library research. The results indicate that Iran, during that period, faced unfavorable political and economic conditions, famine, poverty, and insecurity. The Poles arrived in Iran in poor physical condition and suffering from various diseases, affecting the overall health and hygiene levels in Iran.
