Reparations For Poland
In the Second World War, Poland suffered the greatest human and material losses of all the European countries in relation to the total eligible population and national wealth.
The losses were a result of not only military actions, but also the result of German occupational policy, motivated by the belief in the racial inferiority of the Polish citizens.
The Germans deliberately and in an organized manner exterminated the Polish population in the occupied territories, and intensively exploited Polish society, both through forced labor and the deliberate destruction of property, including the demolition of the state capital Warsaw and thousands of Polish towns and villages.
The damage and loss the Germans caused during the Second World War, and the continuing negative effects of that damage and loss have never been compensated.
Poland has called Germany to start talks to finally resolve this painful past and start the reconciliation process, but Germany refuses.
