Quotes by Judy Rakowsky (?)

“In that same period, the government of Poland passed a law permanently slamming shut the door on heirs with hopes of seeking restitution for property taken by Germans and kept by Poles. The property law sparked a row with the United States and Israel, which recalled its highest diplomat in Poland.”
― Judy Rakowsky, Jews in the Garden: A Family's Search for Truth After War
