Ћирилица I, of course, agree that the number of Serbian victims during the 1941-45 Serbocideby the Croatian state is often politically manipulated. From the side of the Croatian political, intellectual and clerical elite this is, unfortunately, rather a rule than an exception to rule. I believe that this number for now (again, unfortunately) can be only very carefully estimated, first of all based on reliable and verifiable historical sources. Those types of sources, you will agree, are first of all the testimonies by the tutors of the “NDH” at the time, because they were “… in that respect, free of any suspicion, and unable of any emotional exaggeration…” as some

Ћирилица In materials written in the last 20 years about Jasenovac concentration camp there is little history, and too much content used for political interests, stated for Srna Raphael Israeli, a professor from the Truman Institute of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. “While researching the material which has been written in the last 20 years on this suffering, I find very little history, and too much mutual, even inappropriate attacks, non-scientific approach, with more politics and everyday political acts, aimed to mobilize certain interests”, assessed Israeli. Prior to the visit of the Youth Holiday Association of Republika Srpska to the Yad Vashem Museum, he said that one of the obstacles

Jovan Ćulibrk, Historiography of the Holocaust in Yugoslavia A measure of the level of development of any historiography is its awareness of its own achievements, its reflection on itself, which is able to determine its own position within general historiography, thematically and methodologically. A mass and organized violence of XX century, a “century of extremism” that reached its own pick during the years of Second World War in the “death industry“, certainly is one of the key themes of contemporary historiography. Within that framework, a theme of Holocaust is surely one of the most important, although its significance exceeds the scope of historiography. It is also a kind of cultural

Ћирилица В августе исполняется 76 лет со дня создания одного из самых страшных концлагерей Второй мировой войны — Ясеноваца. Он был создан союзниками Гитлера — хорватскими усташами, провозгласившими Независимое государство Хорватия (НГХ) и совершившими такие преступления против сербов и евреев, что даже немцы ужасались. А как сегодня в Хорватии относятся к усташам? Считают ли они Ясеновац “трудовым лагерем”, а усташей — “борцами за свободу”, подобно тому, что происходит в Прибалтике? Городок Ясеновац, расположенный недалеко от Загреба, в августе 1941 года по воле пришедших к власти усташей был “украшен” лагерем. Точнее говоря, целой системой из трех лагерей. Если верить историкам времeн социалистической Югославии, то в Ясеноваце погибли 840 тысяч человек. Это намного

Ћирилица By Nikola Salapura BANJA LUKA – Dušan Bastašić, President of the Citizens Association “Jadovno 1941” from Banja Luka, is bitter because of the attitude of Croatian authorities towards the Second World War execution sites and warns that Zrće beach on the island of Pag, called “Croatian Ibiza” and a place to have fun, is located not far from former camps. Thousands of tourists from Croatia, Serbia, B&H, Europe and the world visit Zrće every year, however, most of them do not know that on that very island, near the beach, were concentration camps in the Second World War. “What people don’t know is that Zrće is about eight kilometres

Ћирилица The first international conference commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Jadovno concentration camp signals the advent of a new field of research into the history of the Holocaust in Bosnia.
