75 years after the end of the war, the suffering caused by Germany is still an issue for the current Polish government. The reparation of the damage is still unresolved, says Zbigniew Rau.
According to Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau, the question of reparation by Germany for the damage caused in Poland during World War II remains unresolved.
There is no doubt about Germany’s responsibility for the catastrophe of the war and the massive loss of life and property that his country has suffered, said Rau on Thursday in Warsaw after a meeting with his German colleague Heiko Maas (SPD). “The nature and procedure for making reparations remains an open question.”
Poland’s national-conservative PiS government has repeatedly raised the issue of reparation payments. A parliamentary commission set up in 2017 and now dissolved was supposed to determine war damage in Poland, which was attacked by Germany in 1939 and occupied until 1945. The report of this commission is supposed to be completed, but is still under lock and key to this day. According to earlier Polish estimates based on an inventory of 1946 plus interest, the damage amounts to 800 billion euros.
Maas referred to the planned memorial site for Polish Nazi victims in Berlin. The commission charged with planning will present its proposal before the federal election. The issue of reparations, on the other hand, has been legally and politically closed from the perspective of the Federal Government more than 75 years after the end of the war.
