Quote:Poland Demanding $1.3 Trillion in World War II Reparations from Germany

Poland’s right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party has released a report, which puts the country’s monetary losses during World War II at $1.32 trillion (6.2 trillion złotys). During a press conference to announce the report’s release, the party’s leader and Poland’s chief policymaker, Jarosław Kaczyński, called on the government to demand reparations from Germany.

Work on the report began in 2017 and involved 30 historians, experts and economists. The $1.32 trillion total surpasses that of the previous $850 billion presented by a PiS party lawmaker a few years ago. Speaking at the press conference on September 1, 2022, Kaczyński said, “We not only prepared the report but we have also taken the decision as to the further steps. We will turn to Germany to open negotiations on the reparations.”

He added that “the sum that was presented was adopted using the most limited, conservative method, it would be possible to increase it.”

Quote:‘The sickle was not laid flat but placed on the neck in such a way that if the deceased had tried to get up most likely the head would have been cut off or injured,’ explained Professor Dariusz Poliński from the Nicholas Copernicus University.

The body was found during archaeological work at a 17th century cemetery in the village of Pien in south-eastern Poland.

According to the university team, she had a silk cap on her head – indicating high social status – and a protruding tooth. Strangely, one of her toes was also secured with a padlock.

Professor Poliński explained to the Daily Mail that padlocking the big toe on the skeleton’s left foot likely symbolised ‘the closing of a stage and the impossibility of returning.’[/size]
