Topic: Poland wins name change for Auschwitz death camp

Formerly Known as Germany:

The Polish state wants to stress that Auschwitz was once German (upper Silesia in German jargon). They therefore came up with a new name for Auschwitz: "the Former Nazi German Concentration Camp of Auschwitz". How about changing the name of Poland to: "The former German provinces of East Prussia, Pommerania, and Silesia" or maybe "formerly known as Germany"?
