The email from the Honorary Consul Emeritus of Poland in Missouri to the Senator of Missouri Josh Hawley
3) As one of the major allies in WWII Poland was betrayed at the end of the war by the USA and Great Britain and subjugated to the Stalin and the Soviets.
4) Poland regained its independence in 1989 and since has worked on the restitution of property of pre-war Jewish communities. Individuals can also apply for property or compensation in private lawsuits. Heirless properties are claimed by the local government, similar to the law and practice in the USA.
5) Poland has since become the strongest US ally but continues to be treated poorly by the USA (Visa Waiver denial, S.447 JUST, et al)
6) The Polish-Americans (est. 10 million) will be well-informed of the action taken by the 88 Senators and will respond accordingly in the 2020 campaign.
I urge you to withdraw your support of this letter and to convince your colleagues to do the same.
Sincerely,
Robert Ogrodnik
