Why was Poland the most important issue at the yalta conference?
The Yalta Conference was a meeting of the leaders of the US, UK, and the Soviet Union, to discuss Europe's postwar reorganization, and reestablish the nations of war-torn Europe.
Poland, was a central focus of the meeting for several reasons.
1.) Poland, especially Eastern Poland, had been the physical site of the dividing line between Germany and the Soviet Union, after WWI. Skirmishes and boarder battles between Germany, and the Soviet Union continued up through early 1939.
2.)Poland had been politically, and physically, the "key" area of division when the Soviet Union had entered negotiations with the United Kingdom, France, Poland, and Romania, to form an alliance against Nazi Germany.
While such negotiations were being made, Poland was not given an active voice or the same power to participate, as the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet. At the same time, Germany had made promises to Poland, for an alliance, which were later abandoned.
3.) As a result, German troops entered Poland in September of 1939, from the North, West, and South, declaring war on the Soviet Union, France, and England. Soviet troops entered Poland, from the east, 16 days after German troops. Polish military, and domestic resources had been nearly obliterated by German troops, and Poland, while refusing to surrender, was "caught" between the German and Soviet troops.
Basically, due to its location, was used as a physical catalyst between Germany and the Soviet Union, yet, was almost "helplessly" in the middle of the two.
3.) By the time the Yalta conference took place, Soviet troops remained in Poland, and occupied Western Poland, as well. It was key strategically, that Soviet troops, remain in at least the east part of Poland, as a defensive measure against possible future attacks from Germany.
4.) Whether Soviet troops could remain in Poland, and if so, where in Poland, were key to the Soviet Union, when negotiations took place at Yalta.
5.) (Stalin) The Soviet Union did feel an incredible amount of remorse for the occupation in Poland, as Poland not only served as the grounds of invasion by Germany, and the Soviet Union but also, Poland had served as a historical corridor for forces attempting to invade Russia.

How did Germany's invasion of Poland differ from its invasion of the Soviet Union?
Before the outbreak of World War Two, it was clear that Germany's rivals, or said, "enemies" were the powers of Eastern Europe, mainly England and France. This was clearly defined in September of 1939, when Hitler invaded Poland. As per the secret policies in the 1939 Soviet-German Non Aggression Pact, the USSR was now an ally and took over the eastern half of Poland. Once that was complete, Hitler focused on Western Europe and basically conquered France and other small states in western Europe. Here are several differences between the two unholy invasions and the two unholy allies.1. Western Europe feared that a German invasion would take place;
2. They and Poland understood that Hitler had bad intentions towards them;
3. The invasion of the Soviet Union by Hitler was a "surprise attack" against a so-called ally.

Why was Auschwitz buit in Poland?
Auschwitz was not "stationed" in Poland. Auschwitz is a German name for town of Oswiecim. When in 1939 Germans invaded Poland they changed all the Polish names to German names, Polish language was forbidden. Part of the camp was acctually an old army barracks, in 1940 the Germans built the concentration camp around it. In years 1940-42 the inmates were mainly Poles and Russian soldiers. Then in 1942 first Jewish transports came. A total of at least 1.1 million people were killed there, mostly Jews from all over Europe, then Poles, Gypsies, Russians. Auschwitz was located at the crossroads of rail system, easy way to transport people. Germans were practical. And since that most European Jews lived in Poland it was logical to place camp as such there. Instead in, let's say, Denmark where only 6-8 thousands Jews lived. Imagine problems caused by transporting 3 million Polish Jews to Denmark or other country, such as France. There were other camps, like and Majdanek were majority of prisoners were non-Jews.
