It will be interesting to follow this. Prior to the Nazis, the Poles had an open society allowing Jews to lead comparatively free lives. After decades of Nazis and Communists, it will be interesting to see what a free Poland will do. Already anti-semetism is on the decline. Troops aligned with the US are in Iraq. All hopeful signs.

To date, though several Western European countries have paid compensation for Jewish property looted by the Nazis, no Eastern European country has. Um, I hate to nitpick here but Eastern Europe wasn't exactly living the high on the hog under the Nazis. They suffered too. First under the Nazis and then under the communists. Forcing restitution would bankrupt their fledgling economies and possibly ignite a resurgence of anti-semitism in the region.
