Dr Đuro Zatezalo: BOTTOMLESS PITS – PLACES OF MASS EXECUTION IN THE COMPLEX OF JADOVNO USTASHA CAMPS

Presentation at the Fourth international conference on Jasenovac, held in Banja Luka in 2014. СРПСКИ Jadovno camp and multiple bottomless pits are the places witnessing the biggest crime against humanity and international law, the law against newborn babies, grandparents, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, whose screams of horror resounded helplessly from bottomless pits of Velebit (t/n: the largest though not the highest mountain range in Croatia) and in places of mass execution on Pag (t/n: a Croatian island in the northern Adriatic Sea). The Ustasha camp in Velebit – Jadovno is a symbolic place, a place of death, horror, fright, screams and painful memories. This was one of the first

DOCUMENT FROM THE ARCHIVES OF VOJVODINA: Testimony about Ustasha atrocities in Herzegovina

In 2020, the Archives of Vojvodina published a very valuable book entitled “Ustasha Atrocities: Collection of Documents (1941-1942)”. SERBIAN 165 selected documents and 63 photographs are published in this collection, together with comprehensive and useful introductory texts and explanations. The editor of the collection is our distinguished historian Dr. Milan Koljanin. The documents published in the collection are part of the files of the German occupying Commander of the Security Police and the Security Service in Belgrade. The file is part of the Archives of Vojvodina F.562, Personal Fund of Slavko Odić (1915–2006), 1909–1983, in which part of the legacy of this bearer of the Partisan Monument in 1941, intelligence officer, diplomat and

Nemanja Zivlak: Priest’s wife (Popadija)

Dara, a strong and proud woman from Lika, was not afraid of a wolf or a hajduk. СРПСКИ At the beginning of the Second World War, the parish priest of Donjolapac was priest Nikola J. Bogunović. He was born on January 3, 1908 in Zrmanja near Gračac. A humble, calm, quiet and God-pleasing priest who lived with his wife Dara and their sons Pavlo (Pajo) and Đorđe (Đokica). Each war brings great evil because it is a great evil in itself. At the beginning of May 1941, an absolute evil will knock on Father Nikola’s door, evil in black uniforms. After just one month, he was taken first to Gospić and then to

WE ASK: According to whose project will the Donja Gradina Memorial be built?

The architectural solution that should be a model for the announced team is the Memorial Center in Stari Brod on the Drina river, not far from Višegrad, by Novica Motika. СРПСКИ We have been hearing promises about the construction of the Donja Gradin Memorial Center for years. More intensively since 2010, when the first project proposal was made, which did not get the green light at the public hearing in Banja Luka. A year or two ago, one could hear from the officials that the project would be done by a well-known company from America. Today, at the meeting of the two Serbian Presidents , Aleksandar Vučić and Milorad Dodik, it was not

Distressing messages to loved ones before the execution in Kragujevac: Goodbye, my heart, today I…

Those from Kragujevac who were shot wrote their last messages to their loved ones immediately before their execution, and some of their last words are preserved in Museum “21. October”. SERBIAN Those from Kragujevac who were shot wrote their last messages to their loved ones immediately before their execution, and some of their last words are preserved in Museum “21. October”. * High school student Ljubiša was only 17 years old when he was taken before the firing squad, and he left a message for his parents: “Dear dad and mom, greetings, for the last time. Ljubiša”. Unfortunately, his father never read the message, because he too, unknown to Ljubiša, was captured and

Death itself, the act of dying – that was not clear to me, I had no idea about it

It has been eight years since the passing away of Milan Bastašić, my father, a former eleven-year-old boy, a Jasenovac concentration camp inmate. Serbian version On this occasion, I am transcribing part of his testimony, published in 2010. in the book “Bilogora and Grubišno Polje 1941-1991”, which he authored. At the age of less than twelve, as a boy classified among men, he was transported to Jasenovac concentration camp in a cattle wooden wagon from his native Grubišno Polje.  Due to a combination of circumstances that cannot be accidental, after two months, as the patient fell ill with typhus, he returned home. He survived. The only surviving boy- Jasenovac camp inmate from

Arie Livne, a friend of the Jadovno association in 1941, left us.

Two years have passed since Arie Livne passed away. Uncle Arie was a participant and benefactor of the First International Conference on Jadovno held in June 2011 in Banja Luka. СРПСКИ Without his crucial help, there would be no conference. He was our friend who advised us with a lot of understanding and, when it was necessary, benevolently criticized. Here is the transcript of his addressing to the conference participants: “Highly respected participants of this historic and important conference, ladies and gentlemen, I have the great honor to welcome this conference on behalf of the President of the Republic of Srpska, Mr. Milorad Dodik.” I stand before you deeply excited. I think, as

Barry Lituchy: We hope that comments expressed by Dragoslav Ilić, a historian employed by the governmental institution, do not reflect the views of the Government of the Republika Srpska

Criticism of the establishment of the New York City Monument to the victims of Jadovno and Pag is completely unjustifiable, especially considering that there no comparable monument to the victims of these killing sites exist in either Republika Srpska or Serbia. СРПСКИ / SERBIAN Two years have passed since the Assembly of the Association of Citizens Jadovno 1941. decided to name the genocide of Serbs by Independent State of Croatia as the Pokolj  (Slaughter) and called on the professional and general public to adopt it. From then on, even though our decision was supported by some of the eminent members of the Serbian academic community and several associations of descendants

Dani Novak

How can we overcome the Trauma that was caused by what happened in the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) in WWII

My name is Dani Novak, and I have been a member of Jasenovac Research Institute (JRI) for many years. My grandfather died in Jasenovac and many members of my family died in Jadovno and Pag in 1941.  СРПСКИ I was born in Israel in 1949, from Jewish parents. In 2005, I started exploring what happened to my family.  The reason for my letter to you is two fold: Share information about a Zoom conference that is being planned to happen on Sunday July 19, 2020. (11:00 am New York Time). The start of the second part will be a week later on July 26th. Details will follow. Ask you if

Spanish Law May Mean Moving Croatian Fascist Tombs

Српски If Spain adopts a new historical memory law, the tombs of Croatia’s World War II Fascist leaders Ante Pavelic and Vjekoslav Maks Luburic may have to move to less prominent sites, or back to their native Bosnia. If Spain’s centre-left-led government adopts an announced law on historical memory, designed to deal with the memory of the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, the tombs of the Croatian World War II Fascist leaders may have to be moved from their current prominent sites in Madrid and Valencia. The body of Croatian Fascist Ustasa leader Ante Pavelic lies now in the San Isidro cemetery in Madrid, while that of the commander

Mass grave of Serbs and Jews from 1941 found on the island of Pag

Deutsch / Српски A two-day expedition was organized recently by the Association “Jadovno 1941” from Banja Luka with the aim to locate the site on the island of Page where the Ustashas, soldiers of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), slaughtered 91 children under the age of fifteen, 293 women and 407 men in the night between 14 and 15 August, 1941. The members of the expedition had only few photographs taken by Italian soldiers in early September 1941 and scarce written material which only roughly describes the location of the execution site. However, a photograph from the same time period taken from the very location of the execution site,

TRACES OF SERB SUFFERING IN CROATIA ERASED

Ћирилица Head of the Association Jadovno 1941 Dusan Bastasic asserts that the new Croatian state is thoroughly and ardently working to reinterpret the history of the Serbs and Croats in the 20th century, focusing on the period of the Independent State of Croatia /NDH/ rule and that it has continued to erase the traces of Serbs’ hardships in Croatia.  Marking the Europe-wide Remembrance Day for the victims of all totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, August 23, as well as the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Children’s Home in Jastrebarsko in Zagreb County, Bastasic told Srna that the Croatian state project was orchestrated by historians from the Institute of Social

JADOVNO DEATH CAMP CLOSED SEVENTY-SIX YEARS AGO TODAY

Ћирилица On August 21. 1941, the Ustasha complex of the Gospic-Jadovno-Pag death camps, which was the forerunner of the notorious Jasenovac concentration camp, was closed, the Jadovno Association Banjaluka reminds. “Only about 2,000 survivors arrived in Jasenovac on August 21, 1941 through Jastrebarsko,” the association head, Dusan Bastasic. Bastasic recalls that the detainees arrived at the Jasenovac railway station at 7 AM, where the Ustahas from Lika handed them over to the criminals from the 17th Ustasha Company. “One hour upon their arrival, and after frisking and interrogating them, the detainees were forced out of the wagons, sorted two by two, tied with a wire and taken towards the camp

Milos Kovic: The future belongs to those who do not surrender

Compared to our ancestors, we are really distinguished by cowardice, fatalistic passivity and laziness. All this, however, can change quickly. Српски An interview with Milos Kovic, historian, Assistant professor at the Department of History, Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, Serbia, who published a book about a difficult moment when only one path remained for Serbia, and not a promising one – „The only path: Entente Powers and the defense of Serbia in 1915.“ How accurate is the theory that there are tragic events of exceptional strength that really shape the identity of a nation? How is this happening and what if we do not learn a lesson out of those
