    I think that it is ok and there is only one mistake. Isaac Bashevis Singer was born in Poland but he was a Jew. :)

    These answers are very good. But the Polish flag is white and red, not red and white.

    I'm very happy that people from Spain know so much about Poland :). I disagree only about sportswomen Anna Rogowska, I think more popular is for example Robert Lewandowski or Wojciech Szczęsny.
