I don't agree with everything Grzegorz wrote here.

But don't you think that it's really annoying, that a person who says about Poland and Poles something like "I am embarrassed that I need to ask for something like this," (...) "I've never been back. I know them, and they were worse than the Germans." is supposed to get Polish citizenship?

I know - even from discussions here on FR - that among Jews there is a stereotype of an anti-semitist Pole. I can't help it. But I didn't even know - until now - that we were even worse than the Germans." That's really something new to me. Refreshing and very telling.

Absolutely. If the original criticism was -- these people hate Poland they should not be allowed to use us to gain EU benefits -- the criticism would have validity.

As to the anti-Semitism of Poles during WWII, I have to believe that the man who expressed the sentiment that the Poles were "worse than the Germans" experienced it as such. But his opinion is anecdotal and not scientific. While it may offend innocent Poles, I'm sure the appropriate response is not "this man is scum."
