Poland To Seek 1.3 Trillion In Wwii Reparations From Germany Report

The Polish government has announced it will seek $1.3 trillion in reparations from Germany over the Nazi invasion and five-year occupation of Poland during World War II. “We will turn to Germany to start negotiations on reparations,” Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of Poland’s Law and Justice party, said Thursday, according to a Washington Post report. Kaczynski’s comments came during a ceremony to unveil the results of a report on the cost of Nazi Germany’s invasion and occupation of Poland. The results of the report, which was compiled by more than 30 economists, historians and other experts since 2017, were released on the same day as Poland marked the 83rd anniversary of the invasion of Poland and the start of World War II in Europe. “Not only have we prepared the report, but we have also made the decision on further steps,” Kaczynski said during the ceremony, noting that the process of receiving reparations from neighboring Germany will be a “long and not easy road.” but “one day it will bring success”.

The report and demands have caused tension between Germany and Poland, with Germany arguing that it has already paid Eastern Bloc nations since World War II. Germany’s foreign ministry said on Thursday that the country’s official position had not changed and that “the question of reparations has been concluded”. “Poland long ago, in 1953, renounced further reparations and has repeatedly confirmed this renunciation,” the ministry said in a statement to The Associated Press. “This is an important basis for today’s European order. Germany lives up to its responsibility for World War II politically and morally.” But Poland counters that its former socialist government, which was heavily influenced by the Soviet Union, did not ask enough of Germany, which the Polish government blames for the loss of infrastructure, industry, agriculture, culture and 5.2 million lives.

Polish President Andrzej Duda said Thursday that the war was “one of the most terrible tragedies” in the country’s history. “Not only because it took away our freedom, not only because it took away the state, but also because this war meant millions of victims to the citizens of Poland and irreparable losses to our homeland and nation,” Duda said.
