Does anybody know Polish history?
Why do all major european powers invade Poland?
I think Polish jokes are the most ethnically targetted jokes in Europe. They must be created to ridicule Polish people as a group. Any idea what their ancestor did long time back to others?

Polishââ¬âLithuanian Commonwealth
The Polishââ¬âLithuanian Commonwealth was marked by high levels of ethnic diversity and by unusual religious tolerance, though the degree of religious tolerance varied over time.
The Commonwealth had also one of the largest Jewish diasporas in the world ââ¬â by the mid-16th century 80% of the world's Jews lived in Poland.
Seems that Poland play a great role in survival of Ashkenazim Jews that form 90% of today jew population.
