Sens. Rosen, Lankford push Polish president on Holocaust restitution

Sep 16, 2020

Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and James Lankford (R-OK) are calling on Poland to enact comprehensive Holocaust restitution legislation following an uptick in antisemitic activity in the country.

In a letter sent to Polish President Andrzej Duda and shared with Jewish Insider, Rosen and Lankford, co-chairs of the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism, note a series of controversial comments regarding restitution made by Duda, members of the governing Law and Justice Party and journalists reporting for state-run outlets.

Rosen told JI that Warsaw’s reluctance to move forward on restitution was concerning given Poland’s status as a U.S. ally.

These two nations (Jews and Armenians) share perhaps one of the most unfortunate history and I share ancestry with both of them. But I don't hate other people based on their origins.


This is what I tell to other Hungarians who hate Romanians/Slovaks in general, or Romanians/Slovaks who hate Hungarians: do you hate them because they are bad people or because of what their ancestors did 100 years ago, when they didn't even exist?

I agree

Just this topic regularly comes back to news, I don't remember a year without media discussion about Polish relations with Jews. And most of all I don't really see what would they get back. It just annoys cause each discussion ends the same, literally each one.
Some American/Israeli mentions Polish antisemitism -> Polish butthurt and "how dare you" -> explaining the topic but mostly to Poles(Who would follow Polish media except Poles, right?) -> materials and articles about what has been done by X party and what by Y party -> discussion gets off-topic to daily routine, it is political parties looking bad aspects on each other
