Sadly they are alive and kicking in Poland.......
2. Who needs it

Personally I think we should stop running after money all over the world. It simply reinforces the stereotype of greedy, money hungry Jews.
We don't need it as a nation...we are quite well off. And the people directly harmed by the Holocaust (meaning who actually went through it and lost their homes) are not the ones pursuing these reparations.

If everyone will have to compensate the descendants of every historically wronged group, there will be no end ever.
I say we don't need their blood money, we are the smartest, most talented and most ambitious nation in the world, and we can and will make it on our own. (With Gods help)

I am always amazes when Bibi is complaining about restitution mony from the Holocaust money.Here in Israel there is the biggest scam about such money ,a lot of Jews deposited money at bank Le,eumie in the hope of having money afther the war to build a new live here.Unfortunately no one came bock and Bibi with his mates wants not to distribute this money among the survivor.He keeps this de accounts closed until the last survivor is dead,And then puts the money in his own pocket as he always does.And then to know that most Shoa survivers live in poverty.But this sad subject is made inaccessible.There is so mutch money in those accaunts.
5. Germans & Poles committed the Holocaust in Poland, the Poles
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.13.19)
had been the MOST WILLING servants of Adolf Hitler.

THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6. Poland, how much did you loot, steal from Jewish compatriots

no more weapons for you.

do not count on the united states to save you from the russians.

your acts are childish and spiteful.

i used to support you, but no more.
go pound sand, poland.
7. I don't harbor particular sympathy for Poland, but this is
(05.13.19)
pure BS!
I have no doubt, that should any such reimbursement take place, the lion share would go to the very same hyena-lawyers, that are pushing for this to come through.
This would be (as noted below) another Bank Leumi -scandal.
In the meantime, all we've achieved is to piss off Poles and bring the worst out in them.
All that crap about being responsible for the Holocaust on par with Germans is probably German Trolls working overtime to spread nonsense.
Stop driving fucking German cars & using Miele products, before you mindlessly crap all over Poles.
Yes they're antisemitic, but so are Brits and the French!!!!
Damn you idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!
8. Poles were both victims and collaborators with Nazis
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (05.13.19)
Like the Home Army was fighting the Nazis while at the same time was either killing Jews or handing them over to the Nazis
9. this is business strictly between you & the Poles
Cameron   (05.13.19)
Do not appreciate efforts to pull the US into this old baggage to lean on the Poles.

Makes for bad blood.

Handle yer shit without trying to enlist outsiders to do your bidding.
10. The Poles admit it could be up to 300 billion!
David ,   Hartford USA   (05.13.19)
What other proof do we need that it happened?

Are the children and grandchildren of Poles who murdered their Jewish neighbors for their land and personal property going to ever give it back? No. Those families know who they are and must dread every time a foreigner walks by their house. The nail holes where the mezuzah was attached to their door jams will forever attest, silently, to the true ownership of the property.

And I don't hold those atrocities against the offspring- they didn't do it.

But property confiscated by the Communists, now that needs to be negotiated. For better or for worse, it was the government and it must be made right.
11. Not lost: stolen.
ex Oleh Chadash   (05.13.19)
12. The Poles were also victims
Jan Wilczyński   (05.13.19)
Only in occupied Poland Germans did ruthlessly punished by death for any help to Jews. Jewish organizations in America, have not done anything in time of II WW to rescue Polish Citizens who confessed Judaism . Compensation for holocaust survivors or for their survived family members have already been done. Current case refers to non-falling property. According to roman law: non-falling property belongs to the citizen,s country. Even according to tribal law State of Israel could not be the property successor. II WW ended (in Europe) in 1945. The State of Israel was founded in 1947.
13. LET THE VICTIMS REST IN PEACE.ENOUGH ABOUT $$ ENOUGH.
oleg ,   florida   (05.13.19)
THE GREEDY JEWISH AGENCIES LIKE CLAIMS CONFERENCE DON'T GIVE A SHIT BUT THEMSELVES. AS A JEW I THINK THE HOLOCAUST IS A BUSINESS. LET IT GO. IN THE NAME OF THE VICTIMS. MY FAMILY LOST MANY MEMBERS. BOTH MY PARENTS DID NOT ASK OR REQUESTED THIS BLOOD MONEY.I HAVE MANY POLISH FRIENDS. YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO TALK TO THEM THEY LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND. DO NOT PUSH THE MONEY ISSUE IT WILL BRING MORE PAIN AND PROBLEMS. AMERICAN JEWS PUSH THIS ISSUE NOW. YOU DO NOT REPRESENT THE VICTIMS DURING WW2 YOU WERE VERY QUIET AND YOU WERE AGAINST EUROPEAN JEWS COMING TO AMERICA. SO JUST GET LOST.
14. ???
Sky Blue ,   Bucharest   (05.13.19)
I am curios If polish jews managed to get anything back or not after the war.
15. Amused....
(05.14.19)
On the same day the USA denies a visa to Ms. Ashrawi which so many Israelis are applauding those same Israelis are winching because Poland won't let our delegation into Poland.
Suck it up my fellow Israelis. ...there is one standard for all.
