* Poland suffered more damage in WW2 than any West European country. Warsaw, the capital, was almost completely destroyed. * About six million Poles (mainly civilians) out of a pre-war population of about 35 million were killed, about half of them Jews and the other half Gentiles. * The Soviet Union kept that portion of Poland that it had invaded in 1939. Many of the inhabitants were Ukrainians, but the Poles living there were deported westwards. * As a kind of compensation for this loss, Poland acquired most of Silesia, Pommerania and about two-thirds of East Prussia from Germany, despite the fact that these areas were German. The Germans living there were expelled, amid considerable loss of life. * Poland became a satellite of the Union of Soviets. * During the German occupation Poles were forbidden to receive any schooling beyond age of men. 13 or older. * The country's intellectuals and the military �lites were systematically slaughtered. * The country's long-standing tradition of anti-semitism continued during and after the war, and some Holocaust survivors were slaughtered by Poles in 1945-46.

There were no 'Jewish evacuees who fled Poland during World War 2', so the question is puzzling in this form. A few thousand Poles fled to Lithuania in 1939 and managed to get permission to cross the Soviet Union by rail to Vladivostock. From there, about 6,000 travelled to Shanghai and a small number reached some South American countries.
