Crime and Pillage. How the Germans Try to Conceal the Truth About Themselves 1939-2019 - Wojciech Polak,Sylwia Galij-Skarbińska [KSIĄŻKA]

Crime and Pillage presents a reality from Poland's past that still painfully reverberates today, 80 years after it finished occurring - the German occupation of Poland from 1939 to 1945. Every Pole seems to have a story - a grandparent, aunt, or uncle that was murdered, became an slave laborer, or suffered fear and persecution form the Germans. In addition, despite Poland's continual growth since the fall of communism, the effects of Germany's literal economic disembowelment of Poland during the occupation continues to be felt today in terms of opportunity lost from destroyed economic potential.
