Polands crime was to be the place where most Jews happened to live, because over the centuries they were more tolerant towards Jews than the rest of Europe, and they were allowed to flourish more than anywhere else.
One should also keep in mind, that re-born Poland accepted and granted Polish citizenship to around 600.000 Jews from Russia, after communist revolution of 1917.
Many Jews also emigrated to Poland after the Kristallnacht in Germany in 1939.
