After Noa Kirel's successful showing at Eurovision (a very respectable third place!) she made a statement about how this was really a victory when receiving the full twelve points from Poland after nearly the entire Kirel family was wiped out in Auschwitz during the Holocaust..

Wow. What a find! Buried treasure, at least in historical value if not monetary value. 

if Poland will ever be in a situation in which it pays compensation sums for World War II, it would be as if Hitler had won. As long as the Law and Justice [PiS] party is in power such a thing will never happen.

  -- Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki

Morawiecki's words are being explained to mean that ultimately Germany occupied Poland and was responsible for the war, including what happened in Poland. If Poland pays, it indicates guilt of the Poles when it was really the Germans at fault.

He might have a point about Germany occupying the Poles and being responsible for the war, but at the end of the day if it was Poles that took the property of their Jewish neighbors, they should have to give it back to the inheritors, or pay for it. If the Germans took it, the Germans should pay. If the Ukrainians took it, they should pay. And if the Poles took it in Poland, they should pay.

The word is out the Poland is now working on passing a law to ban kosher slaughter, shechita, as other European countries have already done, or are considering doing.

I guess they are doing everything they can to make sure the Jews don't come back to Poland, between the recent Holocaust-related law and now this issue.

I have thought for a long time that people should not be making the pilgrimages to those countries that were involved in the Holocaust. We should not be giving our money to such anti-semites and going to visit places that have so much Jewish blood spilled and absorbed into the ground. Now even more so. They are going to keep hitting us and we are going to keep giving them our money and sending them tourists?
