Statement from Federation of Polish
Americans:
On an historical note:
The main premise of Polish Parliament
Bureau of Research legal opinion coincides
with the position of the Federation of
Polish Americans (FPA) from year 2000 on
German responsibility.
FPA filed in 2000 a
Historical Brief on behalf of Polish war
crimes’ victims in the United States Court
of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Eastern
District Trial Court – Brooklyn).
The Brief was unprecedented in detailing of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and asset losses suffered by ethnic Poles, including Polish Americans, during Nazi Germany’s occupation of Poland (1939-1945). The international class action suit (common name, Swiss Banks Gold case), which sought to limit the claimant class for forced/slave labor compensation, was challenged by FPA and the PADC under the ‘Accused Organizations and Individuals in the Nuremberg Trial’ (1946) criteria.
In short, it is the only
comprehensive statement in the American
judicial system of Poland's losses due to
German war and occupation. By citing the
(International) Nuremberg Trail findings,
it
shows the inviolable nature of the
judgment of guilt for those crimes.
Richard Kosinski was the filing attorney,
and Dale Denda was the principal
researcher/author of the Brief; both were
officers of FPA.
