In 1935 a law was passed to prevent Jews from holding government offices, and during WWII Germany established concentration camps that exterminated millions of Jews (and millions of Christians too).  Poland was the location of the most concentration camps (but they should be called "Nazi concentration camps," not "Polish concentration camps," because Poland was run by the Nazi conquerors).  Most of the victims of the Holocaust were Polish (both Jewish and Christian).
