Those of us who know how unfair, morally and legally questionable and unjust the JUST law is would indeed be very disappointed if we thought professor Chodakiewicz truly applauded Senator Baldwin for her support for the law. His seeming praise for Ms. Baldwin in the first sentence turns into strong criticism right in the following sentence in which prof. Chodakiewicz points out how wrong, unfair and biased Senator Baldwin is in her support for the law which addresses restitution for only Jewish Holocaust survivors and does not try to do JUSTice to non Jewish survivors.

Tammy Baldwin sponsored senate bills S447 and HR 1226, if I remember correctly, to benefit international private organization(s) as a prime beneficiary, and invalidate rules of the international law on heirless property.
As far as I know, Poland already paid restitution to known and identified heirs for their properties after
Germans and Russians ransacked and ruined most of them, but for some groups it is never enough.

Unfortunately, beginning and the end of this article seem to be on totally opposing sides.

Article raises good point at the very end with this section: One thing has not changed though. Like everywhere in the world, so called heirless property becomes state property. Some international (and American) Jewish organizations would like to claim heirless Jewish possessions in Poland as Jewish community property. That flies in the face of legal practice anywhere in the world.

Our family were among the Polish Christian victims of land confiscation. We launched a legal review of agricultural property held by my grandfather to avoid being caught by catch-22 of “Adverse Possession” whereby all uncontested land is transferred freely to the Polish Treasury 30 years after the fall of communism (2019).
