From Haaretz:
A group of 50 British parliamentarians and leading Jewish organizations have urged Poland to ensure compensation for Holocaust victims and their families, and others who lost property to the Nazis or the Communist regime.
A letter sent Monday ahead of a debate on Holocaust restitution in the upper chamber of the British Parliament, the House of Lords, called for Poland to pass legislation ensuring restitution of property “while some of the elderly victims are still alive.”
“Poland has a responsibility to elderly Holocaust survivors, their heirs and other victims to return their property which was seized by the Nazis or subsequently nationalized by the Communist regimes,” the letter, addressed to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, said.
Some 70 years have passed since the Holocaust, in which 90 percent of Poland’s formerly 3.5 million-strong Jewish community perished. However, Poland is still the only European Union member state, and the only former Soviet country, with no law in place to ensure restitution for victims, the letter said.
The signatories told Tusk that his country “stands out in its failure to fulfill – or even recognize – its responsibility to victims.”
