Whilst your history is correct, you have to look at the current reality - i.e. you have to momentarily put history aside. The most important thing that currently exists is the stopping (or defeat) of Russia in Ukraine. If Russia takes Ukraine (yeah Russia wants the whole country), then the Baltics, Poland and most of Europe east of Germany will be invaded and destroyed.
Putin is doing the same thing Hitler did, the old "just one more country" or "just one more territory". Remember, Russia invaded and illegally occupies two parts of Georgia, they illegally invaded and currently run Kazakhstan, they attacked and control large parts of Mongolia, they illegally took Crimea and most recently invaded Ukraine.
Oh then there's the "refugee" warfare Russia is committing against the EU by intentionally flying illegal immigrants "refugees" into Russia, then to Belarus in the hopes of overrunning the borders of the EU - note that these illegals are paying approximately $25,000USD to Russia so they can "get into the EU".
Putin has said in multiple recent interviews that he wants to rebuild the Tsarist Empire as his legacy. That means the abolition of most free countries (incl. Poland) in Europe. If Ukraine falls, he gains all the equipment and supplies that Ukraine has - this would mean instead of Russia having to use crappy old barely operable equipment, they'd have actually usable equipment.
Simply put, stop Russia, then worry about any problems you have with Ukraine. Now is not the time to dredge up history and create tensions between two countries (Poland and Ukraine), now is the time to stop Russia and then and only then worry about these historical issues.
Trust me when I say, I know what my family suffered in Nazi Occupied Poland and parts of what is now Ukraine, so I understand how you feel.
