In January/February 1942, the redeployment of the Polish Armed Forces in the USSR (General Anders' Army) from the Soviet Russian republics to the Central Asian republics took place. Units of the 6th Infantry Division and the Army Organisation Centre were located in the then Kashkadarya region. There was also a massive influx of civilians to the places of formation of Polish units following the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 12.08.1941 on the so-called "amnesty for Polish citizens." An orphanage for Polish children was organised in Beszkent, located just outside the village of Karshi. According to the accounts of the oldest inhabitants of Beskent, Polish refugees lived here in 1942, of whom about 130 died of disease and exhaustion. Locals claim that 20 military men were among them. In 2008, Beszkent residents pointed out to representatives of the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Remembrance a municipal cemetery on the northern edge of the city, where - in the western part of the city - the Polish dead were buried. The Polish War Cemetery in Beskent was restored by the OPWiM Council in 2010. However, despite searches in various sources, it was not possible to establish the names of the people buried here.As part of the works carried out at the cemetery by the OPWiM Council in 2010, a monument was erected in the central place of the cemetery, on the axis of the entrance, while along the access to it 6 concrete tombstones with a relief cross were placed on each side. The monument is in the shape of a milepost with the characteristic rectangular shape, uniform for all rebuilt cemeteries in Central Asia, topped with an eagle relief. Its form refers to the soldier's wandering. The monument bears an inscription in Polish and Uzbek: "TU SPOCZYWAJĄ POLACY / ŻOŁNIERZE / ARMII POLSKA / GEN. WŁ. ANDERS / AND CIVILIANS / FORMER PRISONERS / OF THE SOVIET GULAGS / WHO DIED IN 1942. / on the way to their homeland / honour their memory".At the entrance to the cemetery there are information plates with an inscription in Polish and Uzbek: "POLISH / WAR CEMETERY / BESHKENT / FOUNDED BY / THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND / BY THE EFFORT OF THE COUNCIL / FOR THE PROTECTION OF MEMORIES / OF WARS AND TORMENT / WHO ALSO CARE / FOR IT".After the liquidation of the OPWiM Council, the care of the cemetery is financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage is also conducting research work to establish a census of civilians buried in cemeteries in Central Asia.
