Poland's foreign minister on Monday announced that an official note was sent to Germany requesting $1.3 trillion in World War II reparations.
During World War II, six million Poles were slain by Nazi German-occupied forces, many of them civilians, including three million Polish Jews. More than 200,000 Poles were executed, and the city of Warsaw was ravaged by the Germans after a 1944 uprising.
"(The note) expresses the position of the Polish minister of foreign affairs that the parties should take immediate steps to permanently and effectively... settle the issue of the consequences of aggression and German occupation," Rau said in a news conference, according to Reuters. Rau noted he plans to address the issue with Germany Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock at an upcoming security conference.
