There were Nazi collaborators in France, and even among the Jews. Why would Poland be somehow immune? It wouldn’t be. This effort is therefore suspect.
Poland wasn’t and isn’t France.

“There were Nazi collaborators in France, and even among the Jews. Why would Poland be somehow immune? It wouldn’t be. This effort is therefore suspect.”
This effort by the Polish gov’t is NOT suspect. Facts are facts. The guards at Polish concentration camps were mainly German. There were some small amount that were Polish, most were not. There were Jewish Polish collaborators too. But the amount of blame placed on Poles as being some major contributor to the Holocaust are overblown, exaggerated, and basically an outright lie.
Many Poles saved the lives of their Jewish neighbors and/or hid Jews at risk to their own lives. There is no black and white picture of those horrible years in Poland, rather varying shades of gray too, and much hyperbole not based in fact.
I'm sure there were some, though France had a collaborationist government, defacto collaboration with the Nazis. And the Nazis didn't persecute French, they did persecute Poles, with the long term goal of their extermination.
The purpose of this, though, is confronting the widespread image of the death camps as Polish, which they weren't, they were German. Located in former Poland. It was part of Germany at the time of the camps.
