It should be said that all those who had documents went to Polish courts and were compensated long time ago.

The plot thickens, as they say in the movies.

59 US senators protest Poland’s Holocaust restitution bill

This is dated 27 March 2018

Proposal ‘would discriminate against virtually all American survivors and heirs on the basis that they are not currently citizens of Poland,’ lawmakers say

Restitution experts estimate that following the Holocaust, Jewish individuals and institutions in Poland lost property with a combined value exceeding $1 billion. Poland does not have laws for restitution for privately owned property. It passed a law on communal property in 1997 and has returned some of it, but thousands of claims in that category have gone unaddressed.

So now we see this didn't just happen all of a sudden. Our "Sense of Congress" appears to have been in response to Polish legislation. What's your take on this?

We don't need any special laws, if you have papers you can go to court and get property returned or compensated.

It is leftist thing to demand separate laws to protect women, children, gays, minorities or any other group. We have on law for all.
