None of these sources are primary sources (they are not collections of documents). They are all derivative. The ones cited by Tatzref are based on the most recent in-depth archival sources by professional historians, some of whom are associated with the Polish Centre of Holocaust Studies, and are, therefore, more reliable. They fully support what Tatzref wrote. The fact that some Jews were intimidated does not negate the fact at least 10,000 restitution applications were successfully brought in 1945-1948 with no significant problems and very often with the help of Polish neighbors and acquaintances. |

"A restitution law “On Abandoned Real Estates,” enacted on May 6, 1945, allowed dispossessed owners of property, or their relatives and heirs, whether they lived in Poland or outside the country, to reclaim privately owned property. A simplified inheritance procedure remained in place until the end of 1948, with an expedited process (courts had to examine every motion within 21 days, but many claims were processed on the day they were filed), minimal costs and relaxed formalities. Poles willingly served as witnesses to corroborate claims of Jewish neighbors and acquaintances. Jan Grabowski and Dariusz Libionka, eds., Klucze i kasa: O mieniu żydowskim w Polsce pod okupacją niemiecką i we wczesnych latach powojennych 1939–1950 (Warsaw: Stowarzyszenie Centrum Badań nad Zagładą, 2014), 522–23, 529, 568–69, 575–607; Marta Pawlina-Meducka, ed., Z kroniki utraconego sąsiedztwa: Kielce, wrzesień 2000/From the Chronicle of the Lost Neighborhood: Kielce, September 2000 (Kielce: Kieleckie Towarzystwo Naukowe, 2001), 202; Krzysztof Urbański, Kieleccy Żydzi (Kraków: Pracownia Konserwacji Zabytków w Kielcach and Małopolska Oficyna Wydawnicza, n.d. [1993]), 180–90. According to the American Jewish Year Book, which closely monitored conditions in Poland, “The return of Jewish property, if claimed by the owner or his descendant, and if not subject to state control [i.e., nationalized], proceeded more or less smoothly.” American Jewish Year Book, 5708 (1947–1948), vol. 49 (Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication Society of America, 1947), 390. The existence of these procedures was well known, and Jewish law firms outside Poland specialized in submitting applications on behalf of non-residents. Official records confirm that thousands upon thousands of properties were successfully reclaimed without any significant problems, for example, 291 applications in Zamość and 240 in Włodawa. Adam Kopciowski, Zagłada Żydów w Zamościu (Lublin: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej, 2005), 203; Adam Kopciowski, “Anti-Jewish Incidents in the Lublin Region in the Early Years after World War II,” in Holocaust: Studies and Materials, vol. 1 (2008): 188. Most of these properties were then sold to Poles. Since the criteria were so lax, there were cases of Jews advancing fraudulent property claims. Grabowski and Libionka, Klucze i kasa, 528, 532, 536–37, 595–600. Many Jews did not bother to apply because buildings were often destroyed, properties were indebted, and property values were low because of the uncertain political situation (fear of nationalization). According to a scholarly source, "the question of appropriated Jewish property ... is almost never mentioned in Jewish testimonies after the war." Monika Rice, “What! Still Alive?!”: Jewish Survivors in Poland and Israel Remember Homecoming (Syracuse, New York: Syracuse University Press, 2017), 77." |

THE FOLLOWING TEXT BY ICEWHIZ WAS RESTORED. It contains verbatim cuts & pastes from a published book, Weinbaum's, The Plunder of Jewish Property, which can be readily verified by looking at the pages cited. For example, "Jews in displaced persons camps in Germany feared returning to Poland, and those who attempted to do so were usually blocked by the Polish authorities," is not a paraphrase but direct lifting word for word. Once this is verified, there must be consequences. The 1,500 estimate should also be removed here because there are much lower estimates made by other historians, and this is discussed later on in the article at length. So this is cherry picking. |

"In the immediate postwar period vast quantities of Jewish property were unclaimed due to many Jews being murdered when they sought restitution of family property and due to Jews fleeing postwar Poland. The murders, estimated at 1,500 Jews, intimidated Jews from filing claims. Unclaimed Jewish property devolved to the Polish state on 31 December 1948, but many Jews who had fled to the Soviet Union were only repatriated after this date and Jews in displaced persons camps in Germany feared returning to Poland, and those who attempted to do so were usually blocked by the Polish authorities. Polish legislation in 1947 severely restricted interstate succession, limiting inheritance by distant family members. No provision was made for transfer of unclaimed Jewish property to appropriate Jewish organizations or to other survivors.[26][27]" |

Fresh source
Much here to be folded in: https://networks.h-net.org/node/9669/reviews/127940/frydel-cichopek-gajraj-beyond-violence-jewish-survivors-poland-and
The source undermines the notion that the Kielce pogrom was inspired by a communist operation. It also puts the anti-Jewish violence in the context of general postwar violence, also seriously effecting Ukrainians, Germans, the factions in the 'Polish civil war' and the general Polish population. High time for a dedicated article on this broader subject. Ideas? -Chumchum7 (talk) 21:56, 1 January 2018 (UTC) -Chumchum7 (talk) 21:48, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Anti-communist resistance in Poland (1944–46) is a start to an article on the 'Polish civil war' or 'Postwar domestic violence in Poland'. The scholarship makes a clear connection between anti-communist resistance, violent anarchy and ethnic violence effecting Jews, Germans, Ukrainians and Poles.-Chumchum7 (talk) 06:30, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- Your POV is a Soviet/Russian one.
- The first was Soviet occupation of Poland and mass crimes:
- rapes of not only German but also Polish and even Soviet women, including former prisoners of Nazi camps;
- mass deportations of people to the SU;
- mass executions, eg. the Augustów roundup;
- almost total control including censorship, political police;
- mass terror against fomer anti-Nazi fighters
- network of concentration camps, some of htem controlled by the Soviets, others by Communist Poles
- destruction or Sovietization of political parties.
- Persecuted anti-Nazi fighters defended themselves. Parallerly teenagers created hundreds of illegal organizations.
- The Polish police was destroyed by the Soviets who murdered about 6000 policemen in 1940 (part of the Katyn crime) and the Germans who misused the policemen against Jews and ethnic Poles. The Communists and Socialists created Milicja Obywatelska, a state police joined mostly by uneducated people, many of them criminals. Xx236 (talk) 10:46, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Misuse of PRIMARY sources
The American Jewish year book for 1947 is a PRIMARY source. It probably also isn't a RS for what was happening in Poland at the time - and drawing inferences with it is OR. I replaced the rather wrongheaded OR segment diff (which contradicts just about any scholarly writing on this subject) with a passage sourced to two publications by esteemed scholars in an academic setting.Icewhiz (talk) 10:18, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
Misuse of allegations of Misuse of Primary Sources
So a direct, verbatim quote from the American Jewish Year book is a misuse of a primary source because it "probably" didn't really know what was happening in Poland at the time??? Likely it was written by a bunch of amateurs! American Jewish Year Book, 5708 (1947–1948), vol. 49 (Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication Society of America, 1947) http://www.ajcarchives.org/AJC_DATA/Files/1947_1948_2_Formatter.pdf HARRY SCHNEIDERMAN AND MORRIS FINE, Editors MAURICE SPECTOR, MAURICE BASSECHES, Assistant Editors LEON SHAPIRO, Lie. en Droit, Research Associate, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee http://www.ajcarchives.org/AJC_DATA/Files/1947_1948_10_PolandSoviet.pdf POLAND By Leon Shapiro [p. 390] Restitution: The return of Jewish property, if claimed by the owner or his descendant, and if not subject to state control, proceeded more or less smoothly. A little backgound about the American Jewish Year Book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Jewish_Year_Book The American Jewish Year Book is "The Annual Record of American Jewish Civilization." The Year Book is a very important and prestigious annual publication because it acts as a major resource for academic researchers, as well as researchers and practitioners at Jewish institutions and organizations, the media (both Jewish and secular), educated leaders and lay persons, and libraries (particularly University and Jewish libraries), for up-to-date information about the North American Jewish communities. For decades, the American Jewish Year Book has been the premier place for leading academics to publish long review chapters on topics of interest to the North American Jewish community. Previous editors included: Cyrus Adler, Maurice Basseches, Herman Bernstein, Morris Fine, Herbert Friedenwald, H.G. Friedman, Lawrence Grossman, Milton Himmelfarb, Joseph Jacobs, Martha Jelenko, Julius B. Maller, Samson D. Oppenheim, Harry Schneiderman, Ruth R. Seldin, David Singer, Jacob Sloan, Maurice Spector, and Henrietta Szold. The statement "The return of Jewish property, if claimed by the owner or his descendant, and if not subject to state control, proceeded more or less smoothly," is entirely consistent with the most up-to-date and authoritative research on the topic: Under the restitution law “On Abandoned Real Estates,” which was enacted May 6, 1945 and remained in force until the end of 1948, dispossessed owners or their relatives and heirs, whether residing in Poland or abroad, could reclaim privately owned property in an expedited fashion and with minimal costs. Thousands upon thousands of properties were returned without any problem, usually within days of filing an application. This was well publicized in the Jewish media in Palestine/Israel, Germany and North America, and specialized Jewish law firms handled many of the claims. Thousands of Poles came forward as witnesses on behalf of Jews in these property claims. See Alina Skibińska, “Problemy rewindykacji żydowskich nieruchomości w latach 1944–1950: Zagadnienia ogólne i szczegółowe (na przykładzie Szczebrzeszyna),” and Łukasz Krzyżanowski, “‘Chcielibyśmy, by ten dom nie pozostał w obcych rękach’: Sądowa restytucja prywatnego mienia żydowskiego w Polsce na przykładzie Radomia i Kalisza 1945–1948,” in Jan Grabowski and Dariusz Libionka, eds., Klucze i kasa: O mieniu żydowskim w Polsce pod okupacją niemiecką i we wczesnych latach powojennych 1939–1950 (Warsaw: Stowarzyszenie Centrum Badań nad Zagładą, 2014), 522–23, 529, 568–69, 575–607 Title to hundreds of properties was recovered by Jews in Kielce. Regional historian Stanisław Meducki summarizes the findings of his research as follows: “By the strength of a special law enacted 6 May 1945 ‘On Abandoned Real Estates’, a strongly simplified inheritance procedure was applied. Jews could recover their property: former apartments, workshops, firms, on condition that they had not been seized by the Nazis. Courts had to examine every motion within 21 days. In Kielce, Jews did not have any difficulties with recovering their own property. As a rule, every motion was settled favorably and quickly. In most cases, the property was taken over by the relatives of the former owners, whose rights were ascertained on the grounds of witnesses’ testimony. Witnesses, most often Poles, neighbors or acquaintances from before the war, testified before the court willingly, without reluctance or prejudice.” See Marta Pawlina-Meducka, ed., Z kroniki utraconego sąsiedztwa: Kielce, wrzesień 2000/From the Chronicle of the Lost Neighborhood: Kielce, September 2000 (Kielce: Kieleckie Towarzystwo Naukowe, 2001), 202. See also Krzysztof Urbański, Kieleccy Żydzi (Kraków: Pracownia Konserwacji Zabytków w Kielcach and Małopolska Oficyna Wydawnicza, n.d. [1993]), 180–90. Jews brought 291 successful court applications for the return of property in Zamość. See Adam Kopciowski, Zagłada Żydów w Zamościu (Lublin: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej, 2005), 203. Jews successfully submitted 240 applications in the municipal court in Włodawa, and were able to recover real estate, houses, farm buildings, livestock, carriages, and utensils. See Adam Kopciowski, “Anti-Jewish Incidents in the Lublin Region in the Early Years after World War II,” in Holocaust: Studies and Materials, vol. 1 (2008): 188.

- These sre PRIMARY period sources which are not making some of the claims attributed to them. The topic has been treated extensively in modern SECONDARY academic literature, whose conclusion is opposite than the text introduced. It would seem that while some claims were processed, Jew were prevented from returning to Poland, intimidated and murdered, and prevented by legal measures from submitting claims - thus leaving the vast majority of property unclaimed.[1][2]
