Hossein Gharibi, Iran's ambassador in Warsaw, met with Władysław Czapski, one of the survivors of the Polish who took refuge in Iran during World War II. In this meeting, while reviewing the memories of his time in the city of Isfahan, Mr. Czapski said that he is always grateful for the hospitality of Iranian who welcomed the 121,000 Polish citizens after being exiled from their homeland with open arms.

Hossein Gharibi also pointed out that when hosted Polish refugees, Iranian themselves were in a dire situation due to the invasion of foreigners during the II World.
