Why?

Not near a major trading coastline.
The rats traveled faster by boat.
Jews lived there and jews actually washed themselves and didn't throw their shit in the street.
jews tbqh
no seriously poles and jews tend to be more tightly knit communities
Multiple reasons.
Poles and Jews were one of the most hygenic people at the time. Washing multiple times a week. They brought sanitary habits to France and the rest of Europe.
One of the few countries to keep grain in a seperate storage room from the living quarters.
King ordered to close the borders.
While the cats were thought to be evil and were killed all over Europe, Poland (and Milan) did not partake in the killing of cats. These cats flourished and killed the plagued rats instead prevention an epidemic.
A combination of these.

"The absence of plague in Bohemia and Poland is commonly explained by the rats' avoidance of these areas due to the unavailability of food the rodents found palatable."

About, hygiene. Couldn't find a source sorry. Take that with a grain of salt. Reasoning was they disinfected a lot with the use of Vodka.

The short reign of Henry at Wawel Castle in Poland was marked by a clash of cultures between the Polish and the French. The young king and his followers were astonished by several Polish practices and disappointed by the rural poverty and harsh climate of the country.[16] The Polish, on the other hand, wondered if all Frenchmen were as concerned with their appearance as their new king appeared to be.[16]
In many aspects, Polish culture had a positive influence on France. At Wawel, the French were introduced to new technologies of septic facilities, in which litter (excrement) was taken outside the castle walls.[19] On returning to France, Henry ordered the construction of such facilities at the Louvre and other palaces.[19] Other inventions introduced to the French by the Polish included a bath with regulated hot and cold water, as well as forks. Henri III (1551–1589) [...] he is widely credited for having introduced the fork into France.[20]
Not the best source but it's something.

Yes. People ignored a lot of things back then but that doesn't mean they were brain dead.

They knew it worked, they just didn't know why it worked.

Slavs in general were pretty hygenic, I heard that if the Russian states were not under the Mongol Yoke, they would have fared much like Poland.
Seeing as the Plague was a scourge from God for sinful ways, it's pretty clear where Poland stood in His eyes.
B-but the Ewige Jude said that jews are dirty rats who rather prefer to live in misery that spend a penny in luxury
