WARSAW/NEW YORK - Lea Evron, 85, has only fragments of memories of the fur factory and the three-story apartment building her family owned before World War Two in Zywiec, a small town in southern Poland.
A local woman said to her and her mother “Hitler promised to get rid of all of the Jews, and here they come home,” Evron told Reuters in her apartment in New York. Home to one of the world’s largest Jewish communities before the war, Poland is the only EU country that has not legislated on property restitution.
“Holocaust survivors ... shouldn’t have to suffer now. They are dying without justice in Poland,” said Lea’s husband, Jehuda Evron, 88. No new legislation has emerged and Jews complain that courts and administrators are making decisions often derived from communist laws. Many Poles refuse to accept that, and the government is pushing back against claims of wartime misconduct, saying the West does not appreciate Poland’s bravery under the Nazis.
