Today is the anniversary of the start of the war, which began in 1939 with the invasion of Poland.
“Germany has never really accounted for its crimes against Poland,” Kaczynski said, claiming that many Germans who committed war crimes lived in impunity in Germany after the war.
The head of the report team, lawmaker Arkadiusz Mularczyk, said it was impossible to place a financial value on the loss of some 5.2 million lives he blamed on the German occupation. The war was “one of the most terrible tragedies in our history,” President Andrzej Duda said during early morning observances at the Westerplatte peninsula near Gdansk, one of the first places to be attacked in the Nazi invasion.
Reconciliation offered by people in Poland is “the basis on which we can look toward the future together in a united Europe,” Nietan said.
