Poland as Palestine in East Europe
After the WWI, League of Nation established Danzig as a semi-independent state but it was also a part of Poland. League of Nation established the Second Republic of Poland as an independent state (independent from Germany) in 1918. Assumingly, Poland accepted lots of refugees of WWI who were helped by Hoover's CRB and ARA. In addition, Poland annexed a part of Austria-Hungary empire. including the location of the infamous Auschwitz. Poland expanded its realm a lot since its establishment. Let's check the historic map of Poland.
This map shows the expansion of Poland in the first 2 years since its establishment. It constantly expanded its realm. The red pinned point is the location of Auschwitz. It is within the darker blue area. So, the place of Auschwitz became Poland on 10 September of 1919.

Before the location of Auschwitz became a part of Poland, it was a part of Austria-Hungary Empire, and then, it became a part of enclave of the new Austrian republic. However, it was annexed by Poland in 1919. After WWI, Austria-Hungary empire was dissolved and it became small countries such as Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia etc.
So, assumingly, the imperial part of Austria-Hungary and the refugees of WWI (Habsburg, Romanov, Orthodox Christians etc.) moved to Poland a lot after WWI. And such people contributed to the rapid expansion of Poland.
In fact, Polish Orthodox Church was established in 1924. It obviously shows the inflow of the refugees of WWI. The Mandatory Palestine was established in the Middle East in 1920 to accept the refugees (victims of Armenian genocide), while Poland emerged in Europe for almost the same purpose but for the European refugees.
In any case, Poland continued to expand its realm until the end of WWII. The Red (expanded in 1921) part was seized by Soviet after the WWII. And then, the post-WWII Poland became in the second picture. The new border is the same as the current Poland.
Poland lost the East part to Soviet, but it acquired the West part from Germany in almost the same time of the fall of Pétain's exile government (Vichy France) in Sigmaringen in April 1945. However, Poland is not counted as an "Axis Power", mysteriously. War criminals of WWII mostly fought against Stalin Soviet. Why did Poland lose its realm to Soviet in 1945? In addition, Pétain (Vichy France) was a soldier of Entente during WWI, and he fought against Germany in the North France. Poland since 1918 was a country which was established by the League of Nations (Entente).
Mystery of German Border Change
I am making such maps based on this data.
The source came from an organization in west Germany. Perhaps, this is the reason why the website intentionally conceals the borders from 1938 to 1945. So, I checked another GIS data, ArcGIS. This is one of the major GIS company. But the border seems a bit different from the first website. In this map, it reflects the annex of Austria (1938) and the whole part of Czech (March 1939). In also includes the west part of Poland. However, the location of Auschwitz was still in Poland in the map of 1939. After 1939, the next map is in 1945 on ArcGIS.
In the current history (mostly falsified by anti-communists since Cold War), Germany occupied the most part of West and South Poland after that. And then, Germans established "General Government of Poland" (Generalgourvernement in German language) in the area of Auschwitz. However, "Generalgourvernement" is not a typical German term. Gourvernement is a French word which means government. In German, they use Regierung, Staat, Führung kind of words. And "general" is more like an English term. The word likely to came from English speaker or foreigners but not German native speakers.
In addition, in 1940s, there were several massacres of Ukrainians by Polish Home Army. It is still unsure if the Polish army killed Ukraine communists or the opposite. But the Home Army was regarded as anti-Soviet and cooperated with US/ UK. Also, Poland lost its realm to Soviet in 1945. It implies that Ukraine contained the Soviet army which fought against Poland, and expanded the realm of Soviet.
Conclusion
The history of WWII is still full of mystery. But I personally think that the formation of WWII was still almost the same as WWI, namely the battle between Entente versus the liberals (of Germany, Russia, and Turkey). The refugees of WWI who were likely to have moved to Poland (and Palestine) obviously resented the liberals of WWII who caused the German Revolution, Russian Revolution, and Armenian Genocide. 20 years can not change the formation of the war so much.
If such people moved to Poland after 1918, Poland would have been the hub of Entente since then. If such zombie of Entente established Auschwitz and killed liberals (including Jewish), it is very understandable.
This is the map about Holocaust. I am not sure for the reliability of its border. However, the arrow to Auschwitz came from Thessaloniki and Resen (the place of Young Turks Revolution). They caused the Young Turks Revolution in Resen (North Macedonia) and it became the trigger of the Sarajevo Affairs (assassination of Ferdinando of Austria) which is regarded as the cause of WWI.
If Poland and their sponsor League of Nation (Entente) caused the Holocaust against Jewish, it is somehow consistent. And then, Poland lost its East realm to Soviet in 1945, just like other war criminal countries. However, the border change of Germany in 1945 is still mysterious. Did East Germany choose the way to be an enclave of communist?
Also, I am not sure if such Holocaust happened during WWII or during Cold War. Anti-communists often falsify history after they seize a country. Until the time when NATO bombed the past Yugoslavia in 1999 (led by Germany and Italy), Germany and Italy still had the nationalist army.
