This week, Notes from Poland editor-at-large Stanley Bill talks about the Polish government’s war reparations claims of approximately $1.3 trillion against Germany with Arkadiusz Mularczyk, an MP from ruling party PiS and chair of the Parliamentary Group for the Estimation of the Amount of Compensation due to Poland from Germany for Damage Caused during the Second World War.
They discuss the substance and politics of the compensation claims, Germany’s response, controversy over Jewish victims, and what next steps Poland might take.
Also take a look at our previous interview with Poland’s deputy foreign minister on the beginning of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
