The Saxon Palace was one of the most distinctive buildings in prewar #Warsaw. It was destroyed by Germans in #WWII.
A 🧵:

#PolishHistory #Poland #ReparationsForPoland #BeLikePoland #unredeemed #ReparationsNow #PałacSaski

The Palace, erected as a result of the expansion of the 17th-century palace of Jan Andrzej Morsztyn (a leading poet of the Polish Baroque), was rebuilt many times in the following centuries. During the Second Polish Republic, it was the seat of the General Staff of the 🇵🇱 Army.
After the destruction of the Palace by 🇩🇪, the only trace of it that remained was a fragment of the 3 central arcades with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier–a symbolic grave commemorating the nameless soldiers who died in the defense of 🇵🇱”

The adoption of the Act of 23 Sept 1922 on the construction of Gdynia port by 🇵🇱 Parliament is considered the formal beginning of the port of Gdynia. The works on its establishment, however, commenced much earlier... 🧵

The favourable int'l situation, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles & the restoration of 🇵🇱 access to the sea constituted an incentive for the 🇵🇱 gov to take action. The needs of the 🇵🇱 trade were to be secured by the Free City of Gdańsk, located within the customs area of 🇵🇱 Image
In 1920 there was a conflict regarding the blocking of shipment of arms to 🇵🇱 during war w/🇷🇺, calling 🇵🇱 warships at port. The need to build the own sea port became apparent. In 1920, Kazimierz Porębski appointed Mr Wenda, the engineer to choose the place to build a future port. Image

🇵🇱 #Poland submitted 7️⃣ restitution applications to #Russia 🇷🇺. The applications are for the return of cultural goods and works of art stolen by the Red Army during #WWII.

Of all the countries #Poland suffered the greatest #WWII losses, also in the terms of art & culture. Contemporary experts estimated the museal losses alone to >𝟓𝟎%. To this day, in many🇵🇱 museums there are empty frames, a symbol of🇵🇱 war losses #unredeemed #ReparationsForPoland
@PiotrGlinski pointed that "from the beginning, 🇩🇪 carried out a planned&systematic robbery of public, private&church collections".

"However, it was not only the 🇩🇪 who robbed 🇵🇱 cultural goods. On Sept 17, 1939 the Red Army together with "art experts" entered 🇵🇱 territory"

#OTD in 1909 Józef Noji was born in Pęckowo, Poland. One of the best long-distance runners of the 2nd Polish Republic he was executed by the #Germans in #Auschwitz. #ReparationsForPoland #PolishHistory #Olympics #history #twitteristorians #SportHistory @Olympics
He was an Olympian, multiple champion of 🇵🇱 in the 5000, 10000 & cross country running but also a tram driver.

Noji could have been registered for the "Volksliste" in the 1930s as he had 🇩🇪 roots, but he strictly refused, and joined the 🇵🇱 resistance when #WWII broke out.
He was arrested on 18 Sep'40 and was initially kept at #Pawiak. After a year, he was transported to @auschwitz, where in Feb'43, in death block 11, he was shot in the neck for allegedly smuggling a letter. He was posthumously awarded the Cross of Valor.

Przełomowe słowa @donaldtusk w sprawie #ReparationsForPoland:
"Chciałbym także, aby Polacy głośno powiedzieli, że czas pokuty za takie winy, jakie były udziałem Niemiec w czasie II wojny światowej, że czas pokuty w takiej sprawie nigdy się nie kończy".

"Naprawdę powinniśmy - niezależnie od tego, z której strony sali siedzimy - wspólnie doprowadzić do powstania takiego projektu uchwały, który wyposaży nasz rząd w skuteczne instrumenty dochodzenia sprawiedliwości historycznej i finansowej w relacjach polsko-niemieckich".

"Jestem przekonany o tym, że polska polityka trochę inaczej niż do tej pory, szczególnie w relacjach polsko-niemieckich, wymaga wyjątkowych kompetencji, wyjątkowej solidarności politycznej Polaków".

Nieco dłuższy wątek, ale obok polityki, reparacje to stricte zagadnienie prawnomiędzynarodowe. /1

Chcę wskazać, że jestem głęboko przekonany o moralnym zobowiązaniu Niemiec do rekompensanty za krzywdy wyrządzonych Polsce przez niemiecką agresję i okupację w latach 1939-1945.
Straty materialne, kulturalne, techniczne poniesione w wyniku napaści z IX 1939 roku są ogromne, nieodwracalne i najprawdopodobniej mogą być oszacowane jedynie częściowo. Nie wspominając już o osobistych tragediach, bowiem nie ma w Polsce rodziny, której nie dotknęłaby wojna.
