Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]
Poles moved in, and I 'm not passing judgement on people who did that because it's behind us now. All this was a result of the holocaust and the war. But Greg seems to think that no Jews lost property as a result of the holocaust, and that there's no justification for a surviving Jew to reclaim his property
This is such a weird issue.
Most Polish Jews, including entire families, were killed during WW2, right?
So did they loose property?
If 60% of Poland's buildings and infrastructure was destroyed during WW2 the property survived, and if those destroyed buildings, belonging to now dead Jews, were subsequently rebuilt/repaired by Poles, should now Poland "return" those properties to Israel (that did not even exists at the time), or to American Jews who couldn't care less about their brethren during WW2? Polish Jews seem to be showing American jews their collective middle finger in that matter.
Should Poland return properties that Jews legally sold BEFORE(!) WW2 and now claim as righfuly theirs? There is a lot of swindle going around in the matter. Much like the Swiss accounts whereby the Swiss paid what American Jews wanted, even though it has been proven that the amounts were greatly exaggerated.
Or should we just move on and not create more reasons for hatred?
