The cemetery of the Polish refugees in Koja, Uganda.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The cemetery of the Polish refugees, who had been deported after the beginning of the Second World War to Siberia and who were resettled in 1942 as a result of the agreement between the Polish government in London and the Soviet regime (the so-called Sikorski-Mayski-Agreement), on the Koja Peninsula at Lake Victoria near Mpunge, some 60 km east of the Ugandan capital Kampala. About 3.000 Poles lived there until 1952 and 98 of them were buried in the graveyard.
