That wasn't reparations, that was retribution for slave labor for those forced to work in German factories. It's a start, but also about two orders of magnitude less than what Germany should pay, given the atrocities they committed in Poland. About 2-3 millions of civilians were killed during the whole war (and I mean ethnic Poles, not the Jews living in Poland, which are additional 3 millions victims)

A sibling comment highlights the problem I'm driving at — how can we agree that the amount paid is sufficient? Who can definitively say that?
This is true for historical systematic oppression of any kind.
My heritage is Polish. How much do the Germans owe me?
