Poland’s prime minister declared that his government will not pay compensation to Jews for personal property lost during World War II since, he said, Poles were the war’s major victim:
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki made the statement on Saturday during the “patriotic picnic” in the town of Pultusk in central Poland.
“We were the most murdered victims here during the Second World War and we will never agree to any payments for anyone for this reason, any compensation,” Morawiecki said.
Polish authorities are in the process of restitution of the property of pre-war Jewish communities, returning Jewish cemeteries, synagogues and other sacral buildings to Jewish communities. This process does not apply to private property. Individuals may apply for restitution of property or damages in Polish courts.
The current electoral campaign for the European Parliament and the upcoming autumn elections to Polish parliament have led to the return of the subject of restitution.
On May 1, a march of nationalist organizations took place in Warsaw, where marchers expressed their opposition to restitution, pinning badges with crossed out number 447 to their clothes.
“Law 447,” called Justice for Uncompensated Survivors Today, or JUST, was approved by the U.S. Congress one year ago. Its aim is to ensure that people who survived the World War II – or their heirs – receive compensation for their losses if it has not already happened.
According to this law, the U.S. secretary of state is to prepare report by this year on the situation of property left behind during the war in 46 countries, including Poland. The report is to show how a given country has resolved this issue.
During the devastation of WWII, tens of millions of people lost personal property, but if we take the media’s word for it, only Jews lost property, and only Jews have special laws that allow them to be compensated for their losses. Poland isn’t buying this concept of Jewish Exceptionalism, nor should it. When any Jew died between 1939 and 1945, they died in “The Holocaust”, whereas everyone else merely died in the war. While every Jew died because of evil Nazis, everyone else was just “collateral damage.”
The Poles understand jewish machinations and treachery better than any other European people because historically Poland has had the largest population of Jews in the world. Familiarity breeds “antisemtism”. The Jews have always portrayed the Poles as an ignorant, sub-human people, but that’s typical of what they do to all their victims: mock them for allowing Jews to take advantage of their kindness and hospitality by robbing them blind. The Poles are not going to be guilted into coughing up more of their rapidly expanding wealth to these rapacious Jews for an imaginary “genocide” that most of the current Polish leadership knows never happened.
Germany and it’s allies in WWII should have to pay any reparations to any Jewish person who lost property in Poland. Poland was invaded by Germany and Russia in 1939 and Poland was the 1st country to fight back. Polands allies did not help to defend Poland as they thought they would. Germany took the land and possessions away from the Jews and others not the Polish government. If they want to be compensated then Germany should be the one to pay them for the value of the property and then they can purchase it back in Poland if it is on the market. Italy, Austria, Hungary and Japan where Germany’s allies and they should also be required to pay these reparations. After WWII Poland was under a totolitarian government which had to rebuild many of it’s cities with very little money. Soviet Russia was it’s overlord. Poland owes nothing and should be praised for its defending of its homeland. Jews were in Poland because they were thrown out of the other countries and the Polish nobility promised them religious freedom and certain protections. Yes there were people who resented them but the Jews stayed in Poland for centuries because it was better than the other countries. Germany began the horrible anti-semitism after WWI and unfortunately it did spread and there is no excuse for it. But Poland does not owe reparations, period, Germany does.
My entire family from Kremenets and Tulcyn dies in the Shoah. Poles and Ukrainians are very antisemitic.
I am half Polish and half Ukrainian and know better then most Americans that Eastern Europeans, in general, have to be dead in order to NOT be “antisemitic” at this stage in history – and I use the inappropriate term “antisemitic” loosely, as Jews are not even Semitic peoples.
Don’t even get me started on the many millions of Ukrainians mass executed and genocided via intentional famine/starvation throughout 3 separate periods during the first half of the 20th century thanks to tyrannical Bolshevism, which the USA helped fund and then promptly looked the other way from and to this day have yet to recognize any of the Holodomors that transpired in the former Bread Basket, Little Russia.
God bless Poland!
Just ridiculous that these people never give up their non stop reparations claims. Whether the holocaust happened or not, lots of people died and/ or lost property. My East German relatives’ land is now part of Poland. The difference though, is that other groups of people get on with their lives-while Jews continously complain and demand restitution. Then they wonder why others despise them.
You’re so right! When Jews make these outrageous demands, they literally don’t seem to either understand or care what people think of them, and then when people start to express their resentment toward Jews, they flip out and accuse everyone of “antisemitism”. They are narcissists in the extreme, which is a very real mental disorder if properly diagnosed. It’s almost as if they truly enjoy it when people despise them.
Bingo! They do indeed love to be despised – they live for the chance to scream “anti-semite!” in order for them to get their way. That is the jews’ m.o. – to incite hatred against themselves by their nefarious means of gaining material wealth and overall deceitful behavior and turning this animosity into the means to be greedier and more backstabbing. It is a vicious cycle that we allow to happen.
