MSZ: moral and legal grounds to talk about war reparations from Germany

According to Szymon Szynkowski aka Sęk, the deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MSZ), Poland has until today not received adequate reparations from Germany for damage done during the Second World War. “We have moral and legal grounds to talk about war reparations … this is a huge and unhealed wound of the Polish nation,” he emphasized.
The Greek parliament has recently decided that Greece would officially demand reparations from Germany for the destruction caused and war crimes committed during World War II. According to a Greek expert committee, those reparations will be estimated at a minimum €290 billion.
The head of the Polish parliamentary reparations team, Arkadiusz Mularczyk (Law and Justice – PiS) told PAP that a report on Poland’s losses during WWII will be ready for September 1, 2019. He added that this will perhaps be the right moment to pass it on to the German side. Mularczyk revealed that Poland’s losses had been estimated at over $850 billion.
