I don't believe these "friends in Poland" fighting the Nazis exist! It makes no sense -- for they are Slavs, a primitive backward people with no culture who not only were not killed in Auschwitz, but actually welcomed its construction! Does not compute!
In case you haven't noticed, my comments are not actually aimed at you, but at the list's resident unapologetic bigot, and I apologize if you thought they were aimed at you. Unlike some people, I do not judge others based on their ethnic background and/or country of origin or residence, using anectodes as evidence to justify my hatred. In point of fact, I am German. Well, second-generation German immigrant.
Now that I think of it, anecdotes are really the favorite form of evidence for bigots. "I mother was ripped off by a Jew once." "I see lazy Mexicans all over the place; they never do any work." "A Ukrainian once called me a Yid." "Every time you see a robbery on TV, it's always a black person!"
