Poland: President signs Holocaust bill into law
#1
Reported February 8, 2018:


This was was reported some time ago, but was not widely distributed. 

It is historic and of great importance.



Polish President Andrzej Duda signed Poland's new Holocaust bill late Tuesday.

The law would make it illegal to accuse the nation of complicity in crimes committed by Nazi Germany, including the Holocaust.

It would also ban the use of terms such as "Polish death camps" in relation to Auschwitz and other such camps located in Nazi-occupied Poland.

Violations will be punished by a fine or a jail sentence of up to three years.

Duda's spokesman, Krzysztof Lapinski, confirmed the bill had been signed.



Of course Israel and the US complained.

The Importance of This Action:


Israel, Jewish NGOs, and the Jews living in Poland have been after Holocaust reparations from Poland for a long time.

They have also made unsubstantiated claims while doing so.

Poland denies these accusations and refuses to pay them anything.

Poland says 'No' to Jewish restitution


Quote:“The Polish position is firm and clear: we don’t owe anything to anybody,” the government’s spokesperson, Joanna Kopcinska, stressed during an interview on a local radio station on Thursday.

Her comments were a rebuttal to groups like the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO) who call for Warsaw to compensate Jewish families whose property was seized and looted during WWII. In February, the group’s chair of operations, Gideon Taylor, blasted Poland as “the only country in the European Union” that does not have “comprehensive” restitution laws. The Polish government strongly opposes this, insisting that the issue had been settled and resolved long time ago.

Debates over Jewish restitution flared up this week after Poland abruptly cancelled a visit by an Israeli delegation out of fear that they will raise the issue during planned talks. On Saturday, thousands of nationalists marched in Warsaw in protest against a 2018 American law that tasks the US State Department with monitoring how foreign nations deal with compensating Holocaust survivors and their descendants.

Speaking to supporters last week, the ruling party chief and co-founder, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, claimed that it is Poland that “should be paid,” not the other way around.

When it became clear that Poland was not going to cooperate in their schemes, Israel got their lackeys in the US government to try to hustle Poland out of money.

Senators press Poland to repay victims


A bipartisan group of senators is asking the Trump administration to urge Poland to pay victims.

Quote:In a letter dated Monday, more than 80 senators from both parties asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to "pursue bold initiatives to help Poland resolve this issue as quickly as possible."

"Now is the time, while the last Holocaust survivors are still alive, to back up our words with meaningful action," the senators wrote. 


The letter comes weeks ahead of President Trump's planned trip to Poland and Denmark to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the start of World War II.

Quote:"Seventy-four years after the end of the Second World War, the remaining Holocaust survivors are aging and cannot wait any longer for justice," the senators wrote.


Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said the issue has already been resolved.

As of 2012, Germany has paid $89 billion in Holocaust reparations.


Reported November 17, 2012:


Germany pays Holocaust victims


Germany’s postwar reparations program has become such a matter of fact that many Germans are not even aware that their country, after paying $89 billion in compensation mostly to Jewish victims of Nazi crimes over six decades, still meets regularly to revise and expand the guidelines for qualification. The aim is to reach as many of the tens of thousands of elderly survivors who have never received any form of support.

World War II ended 75 YEARS ago.

Many BILLIONS have been paid in restitution.

How much is enough?

Apparently, it's never enough.
