Nazi survivors in Poland are unironically nazis

Blizzard,

A soap opera thanks to which Germany can avoid actual reparations and Tusk can announce “success” to his voters.

Germany already paid them a lot

Bereits erbrachte Zahlungen

Die von der Bundesregierung finanzierte Stiftung Polnisch-Deutsche Aussöhnung in Warschau zahlte seit ihrer Gründung 1992 zunächst 500 Millionen DM an polnische NS-Opfer aus, später folgten Zahlungen in Höhe von fast zwei Milliarden DM an noch lebende ehemalige Zwangsarbeiter.

Germany already paid 500 million DM to polish NS-victims and later nearly two billion DM to polish concentration camp survivors. (1992+)

They also got huge areas in the east of Germany (20% of Germany) and the German population was removed.

1957 Poland signed a treaty to stop reparation payments from West and East Germany.

Lost_My_Mind,

Uhhhhhhh…isn’t it several decades too late for this? Seems like this should have happened in the 1950s.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Relatively cheap virtue signalling (most of them are dead) with a side goal of reminding people the Holocaust happened and that’s why Israel gets to do genocides.

There should be no statue of limitations for atrocities.

The Tulsa riot victims that are still alive are being denied compensation for similar reasons.

Of course Germany already paid billions of Deutsche Mark and Euros to polish survivors over the years. Not that any amount could be sufficient, but it’s not like Germany did not pay anything until now.

including by compensating the still-living Polish victims of Nazi crimes

I wonder how many those are. My grandpa was 9 when WW2 started and he died a couple of years ago at the high age of 86.
