Yes, those are all problems. In my comment I was thinking of the restoration of homes and estates in eastern Europe to their pre-Communist owners. A few years ago I posted an article about a former royal of some sort, Europe has so many of those, who recovered his family estate and started a vinyard. Where there isn't real property to be returned, you can't do justice. And where there's the family farm that's now an airport, you just have to leave that to the courts. Though if Poland has empathatic judges like our nominee, they might give the whole country away.

Maybe lizol can help, but I believe Poland has returned public building, Synagoges and such, to the Jewish community. That's what I was referring to. It becomes more complicated when you're dealing with individual situations, it becomes a $$ thing. You can't compensate for the missed opportunities of the last 60 years. Particularly for those who survived.
