Many in Poland say the greatest threat to their country is Jewish property restitution claims. Poland’s far-right activists are advocating for a bill that would not just ban restitution, but also criminalize it.
Bright, red flares illuminated Andrzej Majczak’s face as a Roman Catholic choir sang in the background and protesters chanted “Blood, honor, motherland!”
Flag-bearing Poles, including families with children, veterans, the elderly and members of the far right, march through Warsaw on Nov. 11, 2019, Poland’s Independence Day.“It is an audacious robbery attempt,” Majczak said in Warsaw’s historic city center. Poland’s far-right activists have started to vehemently oppose any restitution claims and are advocating for a bill that would not just ban restitution, but also criminalize it.
“We believe we need to strengthen legal protection of Polish property as we fear behind-the-scenes negotiations [between Polish officials and international organizations] pertaining to restitution claims,” Bosak said. In February, Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo visited Poland and urged the government to move ahead with property restitution legislation. In May, thousands of demonstrators in Poland protested restitution, many of them saying that Jewish organizations claimed $300 billion and some referring to Jews as “Holocaust hyenas” on banners.
“If you combine the statements by the Polish government and the Confederation,” Gebert said, “the image that emerges is that Poles lost their lives trying to save Jews, and now the ungrateful Jews are trying to demand compensation from the Polish people.”
