Jasenovac System Of Croatian Concentration Camps For Extermination Of Serbs, Jews And Roma – 1941-1945
Mr Chairman, reverend fathers, ladies and gentlemen, sisters and
brethren, dear friends!
А large number of people, surviving victims, witnesses scientists,
politicians churchmen and people of good will spoke and wrote so
much about roman Catholic and Croatian genocide of Serbs, Jews and
roma during WW2 that it is difficult to say something new.
according to the International Commission for the truth on
Jasenovac system of Croatian concentration camps for extermination
of Serbs, Jews and roma more than 700 000 Serbs, 23 000 Jews and
80 000 roma have been exterminated. out of that number, more than
110 000 small children were killed. So, it is now very difficult to give a
better description of the atrocities of Croats and their roman-catholic
priests and nuns or to give a better explanation of the crimes against
humanity and genocide that they performed. The entire Serb, Jewish
and roma population in the Independent State of Croatia had suffered
genocide and extermination. roman-catholic priests and nuns and
particularly their franciscan order influenced and prepared Croats to
hate and exterminate all those who are not roman-catholic. I speak to
day as a forensic scientist who examined mass graves in Jasenovac and
Donja gradina in 1964. I am a medical practitioner but I am also an
ordinary man, one of those who were exposed to Croat, Moslem and
german atrocities in WW2. for more than half a century, since the
early days of my professional career , and particularly after excavation
of mass graves at Jasenovac and Donja gradina in 1964, I try to tell the
world the truth about the unbelievably slaughter of innocent victims
of Croatian and Moslem genocide.The loss of more then 700 000
Serbs, 23 000 Jews and 80 000 roma, cold blooded killing of 110 000
children, young people, old and infirm, ordinary people, just because
they belonged, by roman-catholic and Croatian opinion, to the
wrong religion, ethnic group or nation. Communist authorities who
collaborated with Croatian ustasha movement, tried to silence me
and to prevent the truth about roman-catholic and Croatian atrocities
from reaching the people o0f yugoslavia, in the name of “brotherhood
and unity” policy, and also in the name of peaceful coexistence of
victims and their torturers and murederers. The report of forensic
anthropologists who excavated mass graves at Jasenovac and Donja
gradina was submited to authorities in 1964, but it was kept in secrecy
for more than half a century. only a part of it has been published
in 1992. Even now, after the so-called democratic changes in Balkan
states after the destruction and dismemberment of yugoslavia nothing
has changed. There are many more mass graves of innocent people
killed during the criminal aggression of uSa and naTo forces, that
people worry much more about these graves than those of Jasenovac
and Donja gradina.
It seems to me that the population of former yugoslavia is in a
state of shock after surviving all the new atrocities that occured since
uSa and naTo, and Eu interference in the civil war in yugoslavia.
roman-catholic and Croatian criminals who planned, organised and
executed crimes against humanity and genocide against Serbs, Jews
and roma in the Jasenovac system of Croatian concentration camps
for torture and extermination, as well as their present day followers
try to minimise the number of executed victims, thinking in their
criminal minds that it is less of a crime to kill seventy thousand than
seven hundred thousand innocent people. The crime is the same if
you kill just one unborn child taken from the mother’s womb. The
International Commission for the truth on Jasenovac concluded in
2008 that the number of executed innocent victims killed in Jasenovac
was: 700 000 Serbs, 23 000 Jews and 80 000 roma In 2010 the
Commission reported that there were 110 000 children aged under 14
among the victims. The mass graves are still there. Skeletal remains
of the victims are just 120 cm under the surface of the soil. Those who
wish, can always count the bones. But, one can not count those victims
that have been thrown into the river Sava, or those burned in Pacili
crematorium, or those cooked for making soap etc.
It seems to me that there are many people to day, and there were
many such people in the past, who are afraid to learn the truth, because
the truth would expose their selfish and criminal intentions and
deeds, their lies, their mistakes, their hatred and their fears. Some of
them support, on the surface, investigations of the crimes, but deep
inside, they are against it. They do whatever they can to prevent new
investigations in Donja gradina and Jasenovac. Many obstacles are
placed to such investigations. Some parts of former yugoslavia, and
Serbia is one of them, do not wish to be seen that they are supporting new
investigations, because they try to keep good relations with the present
government of Croatia. at the same time Croatia is continuing with its
genocidal policy which is not different to the genocide occurred during
WW2. This Croatian policy led to the recent exodus of one million of
Serbs during the last civil war. They had to escape from Croatia to save
their life, leaving all their property and all possessions. The president
of Croatia at that time proclaimed openly that he is grateful to god
because his wife is neither Serb nor Jew. Present day Croatia does not
want to allow one million of Serbs to return to their ancestral homes in
Croatia. This is the result of deliberate effort to hide the truth about the
genocide performed by Croats in Jasenovac camps. Many books have
