We had a shitstorm in Poland over this, it's extremely shameful that a country that suffered so much from nazism did voted like that, but government just responded "EU decided this"

Absolutely, the only country that might have suffered more at the hands of the Nazis is the Soviet Union. In raw numbers Poland has the 3rd largest number of deaths in WW2, in % of 1939 population it is first.
