I'm having trouble following you. Is there something you misunderstood in my previous post? Why do you insist on calling it theft?

When did the Germans have to endure this at the hands of Poles? I agree, to some extent, it might have happened, after WW1, but certainly not prior to. It wasn't the Poles who were engaged in mass colonization of Germany, nor did they tag team Germany with another power and wipe it off the map! Twice! There were even attempts to do it in the 11th century...

Unfortunately, during the partitions, there was no 'war', it was expansionism and gangsterism at its best. Again, you are over-simplifying.

Words are meaningless, both Germany and Russia can never give back what they have taken--millions of lives. Do you realise just how much Poland lost during the war? Do you understand, that because of the war, Poland is still suffering today, and will probably struggle for the next 100 years? Actions, not words, would be much more helpful.

Yes, we should look forward to the future, but this does not for even one second mean that the prestent day is not directly intertwined with what happened 60 or 100 years ago. The effects are still felt every single day, especially in Poland.
