Jasenovac Then & Now: A Conspiracy of Silence

Description: Jasenovac Then & Now: A Conspiracy of Silence Description: Product Description The Jasenovac Concentration Camp of WWII Croatia has been nicknamed by historians as the "Auschwitz of the Balkans." The reader needs to be reminded that hundreds of thousands of Serbs were slaughtered in their fields, on the thresholds of their houses and burned to death inside their churches. Most Serbs were murdered by their own neighbors who were encouraged to kill by Roman Catholic priests who led the genocide of over one million Hitler brought Ante Pavelic to power in 1941, Pavelic created 34 "summary" courts throughout Croatia. He empowered every Croatian to arrest and kill Serbians without being charged with a crime. Any Croat could sit on these "courts," including former convicts who issued arrest warrants and passed out death sentences. Mobile courts roamed the countryside in which Serbs were arrested, tried, convicted and hanged-within hours of their capture. Numerous photographs of this period show thousands of victims hanging from trees and lamp posts throughout Croatia and Bosnia. Not a single person was brought to justice for these crimes against humanity. While the crimes of Jasenovac have finally, after 55 years, become the subject of discussion at an American college, it is paramount that we do not over-emphasize Jasenovac, as the vast majority of Serbian victims in the Holocaust were eliminated without being prisoners of any death camp, and were spared the grotesque deaths at camps like Jasenovac where victims were bludgeoned to death to save bullets, or worse, slowly dismembered to the pleasure of their tormentors.
