it is Poland but it wasn't our decision. Poland was attacked by Germany
(AKA Nazi) and 16 days later by Russia (AKA USSR).
Great Britain, USA and Russia later decided that Poland will be moved to
the west (i.e. east part of Poland was taken from us) - we had no say in
this and were occupied by Russia for the next 45 years… (and it was more
devastating than what Germans and Russians did during WWII to us, and
they did/steal/kill a lot/many of us!) so thank you very much for not
boycotting Poland, but IMHO you should not boycott UK/USA and Russia
instead of Poland.
Just my 2 cents, and sorry for off topic
