Last Thursday, exactly 83 years after Nazi Germany invaded Poland to start the war, a three-volume report was unveiled, according to which the damage inflicted on Poland by Nazi Germany during the conflict totalled EUR 1.3 trillion in today's money.
“In [Germany’s] public narrative and school curricula, the issue is treated vaguely, to say the least, so I subscribe to the opinion that a message to be sent by this report to German citizens, in case the report is translated, may trigger some re-evaluation, at least in some communities,” said one of the publication's authors, Włodzimierz Suleja of Poland's state-run Institute of National Remembrance (IPN).
Radio Poland’s Michał Owczarek has the details.
