Moskal Chicago, October 18, 1999. Shades of Yalta! The sellout of Polish interests at the meetings on October 6 and 7, 1999, between Germans and representatives from countries occupied by the Nazis during World War II, brought back unpleasant memories of the shameful manner in which Poland had been treated over five decades ago. This time it was the German Government and the U.S. State Department who concocted a compensation agreement that would nullify the rights of numerous slave and forced laborers, survivors of the Polish Holocaust. The German Government and the State Department have agreed that $2.4 billion is an adequate sum for slave and forced laborers. Worse, their agreement totally excludes agricultural and municipal laborers. That exclusion severely restricts the potential of compensation on the part of Poles, as the majority of them were forced to work in the agricultural or public sectors. As a result, approximately 60% of the Polish survivors, who would otherwise be eligible for compensation, are excluded under the German Government's offer. It is a bitter irony that the Germany Government and the U.S. State Department would stand together against the interests of those who suffered under German aggression and occupation. Contemporary political concerns are seemingly more important to our State Department, however, as it seeks to bolster the diminishing popularity of Schroeders German government. And, the Germans are so pleased with the developments of negotiations thus far, that they have even suggested that the State Departments Stuart Eizenstat, ever concerned with German and Jewish interests, should continue as leader of the next round of negotiations. Survivors are divided roughly into four categories. Two of the categories cover concentration camp prisoners and persons compelled to perform labor for private German industry, as well as the accompanying or separated children of such persons. Two additional categories include those forced to work in agriculture and laboring under the control of a municipality. The latter category composed of agricultural and governmental forced laborers was excluded from the German offer. German companies were often willing exploiters of slave and forced laborers. Some of them are well-known to Americans. For example, Bayer, the huge manufacturer of aspirin and other medicinal products, in addition to approving experimentation on prisoners, used Poles and others on the floor of its plants. Ewa and Marian Kor were Poles among those upon whom Bayers "medication" was forcibly experimented. Ford Werke AG, Fords German subsidiary, also used forced labor. Elsa Iwanowa recalls that she was just ten years old when she and 1200 other Slavs were imported to Germany like animals. She lost her name and was given a number for identification by her German industrial masters. Most Poles, however, were assigned to forced labor on farms or put to heavy work under government agencies, such as road repairs or bridge reconstruction. In most cases, they were subjected to horrific treatment. Under the German Government's proposal, with which the U.S. State Department concurs, they will not receive any compensation. Although $2.4 billion seems at first to be a generous sum, it must be considered in terms of German resources. The German company Mercedes Benz alone, for instance, has assets valued at approximately $134 billion. The recent move of the German capital from Bonn to Berlin just this past year has cost an estimated $12 billion. In comparison, the German offer is paltry.

Critics state that German companies have delayed concluding an agreement as the passage of years results in a dwindling number of potential beneficiaries.
