Rudi Pawelka

Born on 24 March 1940, in Breslau, Silesia, Pawelka is an important German politician of the CDU.

He is also the spokesman of the former German forced laborers (Arbeitskreises Deutsche Zwangsarbeiter or AKDZ) and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Silesian Museum in Görlitz.

From 1971 was the second National chairman of the "Friends of former CSU" and is currently an active member of the CDU.

In 2003, as a head of the Prussian Trust, he angered Jewish groups and caused outrage in Poland, which has long feared that some of the 12 million expelled in 1945 or their descendants would return to claim their properties.
