Poland's 1939 population was 35.3m - in 1946, 23.9m. A reduction of 11.4 million. The War Report states that 5.2 million Poles were killed by the Germans, what of the other 6 million Poles? We will never be able to calculate the exact numbers due to a lack of data, but the main

The image below is important as people tend to forget 2 things: 1) The amount of #ReparationsForPoland is only based on the "core lands", i.e. the area of Poland before & after #WW2 2) Poland lost 78,000km2 of land post WW2 = The amount claimed, PLN 6.2tn, should be much higher.

It's worth repeating - Warsaw wasn't rebuilt using the international community's help or with international funds, Warsaw was rebuilt by Poles with Polish resources whilst under Soviet control. This has never been compensated. That's why #ReparationsforPoland is relevant today.

Scale. A problem when thinking about #ReparationsForPoland is understanding scale, e.g. the amount of reparations or the number of Poles killed. is a map that shows the scale of German & Soviet crimes against Polish citizens in the years 1939-1989.

The preferred German narrative over the weekend seems to be "give us our land back". But the 1990 German-Poland Border Treaty regulated the border whereas no treaty regulates the end of #WW2 between 🇵🇱&🇩🇪. That's why the border issue is closed & #ReprationsforPoland remains open.

Which treaties and where exactly does it say Germany does not have to pay #ReparationsforPoland ? 1945 Potsdam Agreement ❌ 1970 Treaty of Warsaw ❌ 1990 Two Plus Four Agreement ❌ 1990 Poland-German Border Treaty ❌ 1991 Treaty on Good Neighborly Relations and Friendly

@fhsdkjhfqwqwe @PLreparations These same sets of treaties that do justify the new border also do state that Germany is not due any further reparations. Poland can’t have it both ways - keeping the new territories and demanding further reparations is ridiculous.

It’s little known that the theft of Polish material assets and cultural items also happened in Germany. Göring's decree of 27 February 1940 allowed wide-scale theft from Poles in Germany. No compensation was paid to the victims or their families. #ReparationsforPoland

Przypominamy o grabieżczym dekrecie Göringa z 27 lutego 1940 r. Na jego mocy 1,5 mln Polaków w Niemczech, głównie Związku Polaków w Niemczech utraciło swoje majątki. Dekretu nigdy nie cofnięto. Ani ofiarom, ani ich rodzinom nie wypłacono odszkodowań.

The tragedy of children being killed during #WW2 , however horrific, must be remembered and the stories must be told. During WW2, the Germans killed almost 1.1 million Polish children. That loss of human potential crippled Poland and has never been compensated.

Sometimes a picture is worth more than a thousand words. Mały Powstaniec (the "Little Insurgent"), probably Antek, was killed by the Germans #OTD in 1944. The statue created by Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz commemorates all child soldiers who fought and died during the Warsaw Uprising.

@Hannoveraner_01 I don’t think the Holocaust and WWII should be forgotten at all but if Poland insist on reparations on the grounds that the Polish communist regime was illegitimate then they’d have to, by extension, give back all of east Prussia to Germany.

It's worth repeating: if you think that PLN 6.2 trillion for #ReparationsForPoland is unjustifiable, 1) the calculations in the #WarReport remain uncontested & 2) the indexing method chosen is the most conservative. Dispute the figure? Provide the analysis to show why.
