Bzibzioh: This thread is not about partition of Poland.
The tittle is wrong, the OP has done no search and I guess the rest is not familiar with the issue, except for Fairness, a Holocaust Industry proponent.
The issue is this. Jewish organizations want Poland's taxpayers to pay, first 65 billion, but that is negotiable, for heirless Jewish property during and after the war.
"Until now, certain countries have resisted restitution for lost heirless property, citing laws that state that such property should go to their treasuries," said David Peleg, the newly appointed director of the World Jewish Organization for Property Return. "We don't agree with this assertion."

Peleg estimates the value of heirless Jewish property in Poland alone at billions of dollars.

The argument is that one Jew's property is the property of all Jews, alive and those unborn.
So, there was a coference recently:

Of course there is the usual - it's for the survivors shtick.
In this week's JPost we read:
This time last year, official figures estimated that 270,000 Holocaust survivors were living in Israel. Non-profit organizations working with the survivors suggest that a third of them live below the poverty line, struggling to survive on state pensions and with very little additional assistance or benefits. In some cases, survivors must decide on a daily basis between buying food and medicines.

They indeed need money, it appears. Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have paid untold billions and the survivors live in poverty in Israel.
Sounds like a rackett but:
Peleg would only say that "this is achievable." He said the U.S. State Department's involvement in the issue "has been very helpful."
