Between 1942 and 1945, in Isfahan, known as the 'city of Polish children', there was a transit camp for Polish refugees who left the USSR with General Anders' Army - both soldiers and civilians. Around 2,000 children passed through this camp. Some lived here throughout the war, others were sent from here to camps organised for them in Africa and New Zealand. Kindergartens, comprehensive schools, gymnasiums and a humanities high school operated here. A sanatorium was established for the needs of Polish children and a Polish health service was organised.

On the eastern edge of the Armenian cemetery, by the main cemetery avenue, a plot of land surrounded by a 50 cm high wall has been set aside for the resting place of Polish dead. It contains 18 graves. On one of the graves only the inscription remains: "It did not see the sunlight", on others: "Polish ob. / died in / 1944" and "Unknown / Catholic / A.D.1980". In the middle of the plot rises a granite monument with an engraved Piast eagle with crown and an image of Our Lady of Czestochowa and with the inscription: "To the Polish exiles - compatriots". The Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Remembrance installed a stone cross on the monument, while metal crosses of unknown origin were placed at the entrance to the plot. In front of the monument, on a concrete foundation, there is a slab from the grave of Teodor Miranowicz, a deputy of King John III Sobieski, who died while serving as a deputy - negotiating with the Persian shah on the terms of joining the Anti-Turkish League - and was laid to rest in the courtyard of the Armenian Cathedral in Julf Isfahans.

In 2017. The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage carried out renovation and construction work at this cemetery. A monument - a milepost, characteristic of the cemeteries of soldiers of the Anders Army - was then erected. Currently, the Polish cemetery is taken care of on a permanent basis by the Armenian Foundation (caretaking, cleaning, minor repairs) as part of the task co-financed by the programme of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage 'Sites of National Remembrance Abroad'.
