My last few years of trying to discover who my parents really were are like climbing up one step and falling 3. I don’t want any compensation for losing all my father’s family in 1939, for never knowing my grandparents or uncles, because someone took their home and land and chose to burn it to the ground because my father was a true Pole and had been in the army.
I just want to understand why. Why, it’s too difficult to get any info. Why is it ok to be a murdered Polish descendant and be part of the biggest secrets in history? Hidden so well by so many? Why, why, why….. They were my life’s foundation. No wonder my father came back from WW2 as an angry, disabled soldier with no sense of fulfilment.

I am not surprised at all. The bulk of reparations payments go to the Jews.
