I might be a little picky, but this is a common mistake made in numerous publications that gives off the impression that Poland was actively involved in genocide, whereas this all happened in what at that time was Germany. Poland did not exist from 1939-1945.
I didn't make a mistake.

It's okay to assume a little intelligence around here once in a while.
