English: A poster in Warsaw urging Germans to pay reparations for the war crimes the Poles and Poland endured during World War II. The text in Polish says:
"Mr [Arndt] Freytag! Will the government of Germany, which is so much interested by the rule of law in other countries, finally tackle the scandalous German lawlessness and pay Poland reparations and damages for the German crimes* in World War II?
- The 1946 ruling of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg recognised that the occupation of Poland by the Germans constituted a war crime. Due to this occupation, more than 6 million Polish citizens lost their lives and the losses of the value of national assets exceeded 38%, comparing with 1939. The Germans destroyed and plundered 43% of the Polish cultural heritage. more than 3 million Poles were coerced into forced labour. The Germans stole millions of tons of coal, steal, grain and potatoes [as well as] hundreds of thousands tonnes of cattle. The Germans were stealing everything that had any value whatsoever..."
Arndt Freytag is the German ambassador to Poland; the reference to the rule of law refers to the recent controversies about the changes to the judicial system in Poland. As can be seen from the bottom part of the poster, it was financed by the Institute for Legacy of Polish National Thought (IDMN), itself subordinate to the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, and posted by right-wing outlets Gazeta Polska, Niezalezna.pl, and Telewizja Republika.
Polski: Plakat w Warszawie wzywający Niemców do zapłaty reparacji za zbrodnie dokonane na Polsce i Polakach. Pan [Arndt] Freytag jest ambasadorem Niemiec w Polsce; "interesowanie się praworządnością" odnosi się do reform sądownictwa prowadzonych przez rząd Prawa i Sprawiedliwości od 2015 r.
Plakat został sfinansowany z funduszy Instytutu Dziedzictwa Myśli Narodowej (IDMN), jednostki podległej Ministerstwu Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego, i opublikowany przez prawicowe media: Gazetę Polską, Niezależną i Telewizję Republika.
