douglasmclloyd Żyd z Brooklynu 02.10.15, 23:40 Theodore Garb, a 72-year-old retired furniture store owner from Seaford, L.I., believes the Polish government owes him the rights to the property (now worth about $2 million) that was taken from his family, first by the Nazis and later by Poland's Communist regime. Garb, a distinguished-looking, silver-haired son of a cantor, boarded a charter bus in Midtown Manhattan early Tuesday morning with about a dozen New Yorkers with similar claims. They traveled here to attend a special congressional hearing on the problems American citizens are having reclaiming property and assets such as artwork, lost to their families a half-century ago in Central and Eastern Europe nations. Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic were cited as the worst offenders. With the winding down of the Swiss bank and German slave labor issues, the restitution of Polish private property has emerged as a leading Holocaust assets cause for the Jewish community. About three million Polish Jews were killed during the Holocaust, representing about 10 percent of the Polish population, and by far the largest group of Holocaust survivors. While Poland has adopted communal property restitution laws, and is returning synagogues, cemeteries and other community assets to the Jewish community, it says it cannot afford to return or compensate Jewish and non-Jewish private property. But critics say it's a human rights issue. "I am here for justice," said Garb, himself a cantor who once operated Reliable Decorators on Church Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn. "We want the name of the original owners reinstated on those properties." To bolster that effort, lawyers representing Garb and dozens of others announced a four-pronged strategy to force Poland to finally adopt a fair private property restitution law. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
