Swiss TV has prepared a report on the "expulsion" of Germans after World War II. One of the heroes of reportage-grandson "expellee" German-confronted this issue in a program devoted to the Polish envoy David Jackiewicz. Due to confront Mr Jackiewicz learned that " for starting World War II and the murder of the Jews are responsible Poles. They should apologize for the expulsion of Germans from Lower Silesia, and the losses incurred as a result of Nazi aggression, the Communist propaganda " and that is a" nationalist Polish " (I quote from article on the portal Dziennik.pl .) Obviously, the MP requested the intervention of the Polish Foreign Ministry, the further course of the case (I hope) is obvious.
interesting is another thing. It is clear from the above quoted prosecution has not made a model "average European", which-as repeatedly demonstrated- history is neither interested nor takes, so of course it does not know. Grandson accused "expellee", a person interested in the implementation based on historical or what arguments or claims. Ergo: a man who should be the story, or at least the portion of which relates to his ancestor, know well. As is clear from his speech, or it is not, or we deal with provocation. Another possibility to deal with I will not because the conditions for its rationale is weak (in the conspiracy-theoretical history as I believe more or less what the text published in the "GW").
remains the possibility of first-person interested in the subject completely versed in the facts. This may be due, for example, the absorption of history as a neo-Nazi-much, however, is more likely that the German "expellees" and institutions representing them deliberately to mislead the people to fight for the lost as a result of German property, so as to further "motivate" them to act. It's hard to say whether the heads of various compounds themselves "displaced" in a version of faith, it is rather unlikely. In any event, the fact that they believe in it themselves "expelled" or descendants oh, they certainly are on hand.
with our Polish point of view, it is important above all one thing. We have to give up the belief that thinking about the second war we think of the same-or at least approximately the same-as "driven." As you can see, their opinion about those times may be dramatically different from the facts. not about the same rationale "expulsions" - it could be a matter of discussion-it comes to looking at events that the "expulsion" has led, there is nothing to surprise the Germans, that demand the restitution of property, since in their (false-and the correction in this space should focus) allegedly caused the war, Poles, do not suffer losses in its time and even murdered millions of Jews. Talk about the expulsions, which we will convince the Germans that "such were the provisions of international agreements," or use any arguments built on historical facts unknown to the Germans does not make sense. Germany must first learn how it really was, it will be possible until later a discussion of the consequences of what it was.
Indispensability historical policy-and on a European scale-no longer subject to discussion. Historical policy has already gone from the realm of ideas, investing primarily in the financial, economic. Abandoning its implementation in the near future could result in damages, which Poland will be forced to pay for the call to war and destruction in its course Berlin or Dresden.
