Der Spiegel: Germany Should Be Ashamed of Withholding War Reparations from Poland

German magazine Der Spiegel published a commentary arguing that Germany owes Poland reparations for crimes committed during World War II. The piece calls it deeply embarrassing for a country so proud of how it has confronted its own history that payments have still not been made. The editorial states that Germany's silence on the issue contradicts its own culture of remembrance.
