[PIC's] European refugees in Middle east, yes that's true, trust your eyes

[New]

For those of you hearing too much about Middle eastern refugees in Europe these days, it's good to know that not always it has been the case.
For the people who still ain't able to trust what they've read, here are some old pics of Polish refugees finding haven in Iran as Germans and Russians laid waste to their homeland during world war II.

"Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good. " Petrarch

"Almost half a century after World War II, in an abandoned, dust-filled storage shed beside an old photography studio in Esfahan, Iran, Parisa Damandan found a unique collection of stunning Diane Arbus-esque photographs shot by Abolqasem Jala that are reminders of war in general and World War II’s human displacement. Four years ago, these discoveries were revealed in a book titled The Children of Esfahan, published in Tehran. The images were studio photos of Polish refugee children who found haven in Iran as Germans and Russians laid waste to their homeland.

Majid Abassi, editor of Neshan, the Iranian design journal, who sent this to me after reading my piece “A Sad Smile,” told me that many of the Polish children settled in Esfahan (Isfahan) and south Iran after being imprisoned by Russian captors. “The point of this book is that these were not always sad times but sometimes happy,” he noted. “They found Iran as a safe place for their life.”

So what? There are tens of thousands of Iranians every year claiming asylum in Europe and no Europeans want to live in Iran. And you don't even have a war except for small conflict in some provinces.

It means they have had to put up with a lot of colonists like you, like how Iran wanted to remain neutral yet UK and Russia kept messing in internal affairs of Iran. Go learn some history man, I expected better from you.

Men die in battles and women and children remain. [if your enemies aren't Wahhabis or ISIS beetles though ...]

What do you mean "so what"?
I ain't no praising anything here, and especially I'm no fan of what a third world country like Iran is today.
You clearly ain't able to figure out the op's interpretation of the posted content, maybe it has been his fault making it too much of an open ended story.

The northern areas of Pakistan has been inhabited by migrant Italians, Germans and Macedonians..and one can never forget the European colonization of Middle East and South Asia.

Absolutely true.

The reason is not war. It is socio-economical. People want to live a different life than the one they were born into. So they immigrate. Under one pretext or another.

The men were fighting for their country.Also,they stayed in camps where they worked (see the pictures) and they left for home immediately after the war.I can also be sure that the Iranian state wasn't paying welfare.
