Petition for War Crimes Reparations for Poland

Poland gave up reparations for "regained lands".

@johnny reb
Where you taking this information from? I have a hard time imagening Germany giving Poland any reperation money, they consider it as done and in the past by having paid reperations to PRL government that then transferred it to the Soviet Union as a way of recompensating their deeds.

+ Germany's refusal of accepting any Pole as a minority status in Germany.

Gonna have to convince us a lot if their trying to mend wounds, that's for sure. Cause it ain't gonna happen

There is still the little question of the "Berlinka".....

Why should they? Sorbs in the Lausitz and Danes in Schleswig have it, because they are kinda Natives....Turks and other don't, they are immigrated. Diaspora is a better name....

@Bratwurst Boy
Cause Poles have been a minority in Germany (practically speaking) without aknowledging it since partition of Poland. (First in Prussia, then Imperial Germany then etc etc) who many moved to western parts of Germany looking for work also.

What your mixing minorities with are culturally endangered local cultures with very specific traditions who hold on to it with their very lives.

If that's Germany's only notion of a minority, then Poland should if it was obsessed with fairness, remove any minority status of Germans in Poland

One of my girlfriends in Poland who is a heavy drinker.
She said that these are significant amounts that Poland is owed.
She thinks the biggest loss was the loss of human capital.
The millions of people who were murdered, both by the Germans and Russia, but also millions who had to flee Poland, stayed in exile, it's a great loss; hundreds of thousands who became invalids, hundreds of thousands, even millions who worked as forced laborers in Germany.

It's only right that Poland be compensated for all of that.
Don't you agree ?

....na ja....the Danes for example got their minority status because of shifting borders....they stayed where they were only that now new borders made them Germans.

The Germans in what is now Poland (I'm talking Schlesien and Ostpreußen here) deserve their minority status the same. That happens when people find themselves as foreigners in another country without their doing.

Poland expanded westwards mightily...many Germans fled, some stayed.

Poles during the partitions living in the German Reich would had definitely deserved minority status, if such thing had existed back then. Poles after the annexations after WWII surely not. The Poles now in Germany moved there, immigrated...they chose actively to live in another country (or their parents did).

If modern Poles should get minority status, which immigrant wouldn't. Any arab/african muslim immigrant could demand the same....
