In 1939 Poland had the largest Jewish population in Europe (about 3.3 million Jews). It also had a good rail network, so it made sense from the Nazis' point of view to have the main killing centres close to the majority of their victims. In addition, Jews from other parts of Europe were transported to Poland by the Nazis for extermination. Moreover most Germans had very little idea what was going on in Poland.
