If Poland changes to and from summer-time/daylight-savings-time on exactly
the same day and time (2am) as the US, this is almost completely true.  On
the night that the time rolls back/forward, for at least 7 hours, Poland
would be an extra hour ahead or behind.  So it might be better to aim for
7:15am your time.

I've found out the hard way (by calling my relatives in Ireland!) that
while the dates are mostly the same, this is not always true :-}
