Compensation as a foundation for the future: Poland insists on reparations from Germany – Morawiecki

According to the calculations of the Polish government, the total amount of damages is $1.3 trillion, and Germany must compensate $850 billion.

Poland will insist on payment of reparations from Germany for the actions of the Nazis in World War II. Such a statement was made by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during a ceremony commemorating the victims of German crimes in the fall of 1939 in Bydgoszcz, his press service reported.

The head of the Polish government, speaking in the so-called Valley of Death, where from 1,200 to 6,000 Poles were killed in 1939, said that from the first days of the war, the Germans showed their true goal – not only conquest, but also the destruction of the Polish nation.

“When the Germans went to Poland, they were following Hitler's order, who told them: have no mercy for the Poles,” the head of government noted.

“We want to seek compensation, compensation, compensation, because only on such a foundation can we build the future,” he emphasized. – The spirits of our ancestors, who died in terrible circumstances at the hands of the German occupiers, cry out for truth, justice and compensation.”

Let us remind you that the German government rejects Poland's demands to pay reparations for the damages caused to it by Nazi Germany in the Second World War. He said that the position of the federal government is unchanged – the issue of reparations is closed, because Poland renounced them back in 1953 and repeatedly confirmed this.
