Why did the Holocaust start in Poland?
* All the main extermination (death) camps were located in Poland. It was an area that the Allies couldn't reach easily; the country had a traditionally antisemitic population, 3.3 million Jewish residents and also a good rail network. * Since November 1939 the Nazis had forced most of the Jewish population of Poland into ghettos (sealed off Jewish districts). Except perhaps in the Lodz Ghetto, the Jews were deprived of the means to earn their livelihood and were seen as a burden, despite the fact that the rations allowed them were grossly inadequate. * Nazi administrators in Poland complained bitterly that the place was being used as a 'dumping ground' and requested a 25% reduction in the population.

How did Poland benefit from the German invasion?
Poland suffered terribly from the German invasion in World War 2, and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone suggest that Poland might have benefitted from the German invasion.
Afternote:
Under a pre-war deal between Germany and Russia, Russia scored the eastern half of Poland, moving in after the Germans had defeated the Polish army. The Polish officer corps was captured by the Russians and massacred at Katyn Forest, making it easier to dominate Poland when Russia occupied it at the close of World War 2.
Why is Ukraine situated in eastern Europe between russia and Poland?
The Ukraine was a country that formed for nationalistic reasons, like most European nations. Ukrainians are native to the area in what is now the Ukraine, which is why the Ukraine is settled here.
Why are there so few Jews in Poland?
In 1939, there were 3.3 million Jews in Poland. The Nazis made a concerted effort to eliminate the Polish Jewish population. When the war ended, only 0.3 million Jews remained in Poland.
A big part of the reason is that the Nazis, in concert with the substantial acquiescence, encouragement, and complicity of the Poles, murdered so many of the ones who used to live there, that most of the remaining shreds of communities quickly withered and died of their own. Others fled to the US and Israel after World War II.
The question reminds me a lot of Robin Williams' story, where he recalls a part of his interview on German TV. The interviewer asks him "Why do you think it is that there are so few comedians in Germany ?", to which he claims to have responded "Do you think it could be because you killed all the funny people ?".
Was it possible to avoid the partitions in Poland?
As far as the division of Poland after World War II, it was very possible to avoid. The redivision was a result of Soviet demands. The other Allied leaders failed to defend their ideals against Soviet attacks. If the other leaders had been more determined to honor their promises to their ally, it is likely the borders of Poland would not have been changed.

What if Poland stopped the blitz and the soviet invasion?
First of all, Poland would have needed to have overwhelmingly massive amounts of troops and military equipment and about 50 Generals of the quality of Patton or Rommel to stand a chance against the Germans, let alone the Soviets. Those were two of the most modern and powerful militaries in the world at the time, while Poland was still relying on WWI technology and had a relatively weak military. That being said, if Poland somehow magically held off the Germans, it probably would have seriously damaged German material forces as well as troop morale, since it was Germany's first serious large-scale military action since the end of WWI. France and England would have been able to more readily side with a victorious Poland per earlier agreements, due to it being strong and thus worth protecting, meaning that Germany would have been in the middle of a giant orgy of firepower that would end in Hitler's head on a pike on top of the Reichstag and with Germany in a similar situation to what it was in after WWI, in economic recession and with a VERY pissed-off populace. In the case of the Soviets, the effects may not have been as severe. Russia had an immensely powerful military in 1939, despite the fact that Stalin had killed off most of his capable officers in the 1930s purges. Finland was actually one of the few countries to successfully hold off the Soviet Army, in the Winter War of 1938-1939, but ended up settling for an armistice. If the Soviets had been stopped in Poland in the event of an invasion, then they could have simply gone around Poland to countries such as Romania or Hungary that were more vulnerable in the event of an invincible Poland. Britain and France, as well as the United States, potentially, would have most likely come to the aid of Poland and probably could have halted Stalin's Boys in Red, but an outright defeat of the Red Army in any case would have been extremely difficult.
Twelve angels dance at a polish wedding?
The Twelve Little Angels is a traditional traditional folk song that is sometimes played when the bride is lifting her veil. The removal of the veil is called Oczepiny -
It translates roughly:
Twelve tiny little leaves on a rose that's opened wide,
And twelve little angels// are all serving the bride.
A lily fragrant, sweet, the first angel brings this night,
The second angel carries// a candle glowing bright.
A woven myrtle wreath the third angel does bring,
The fourth angel carries// a golden wedding ring.
Obedience as a vow the fifth angel brings with love,
The sixth angel gives them// God's blessings from above.
Above the bride's fair head, six angels can be seen,
A wreath they are holding// that would befit a queen
