Disfiguring Jasenovac
The Jasenovac concentration camp, often described as the “Auschwitz of the Balkans” for the raw brutality exhibited by its fascist commanders and guards who ran the camp from 1941 to 1945 in the Independent State of Croatia, continues to stir strong emotions. But, shamefully, often the wrong ones and for the wrong reasons. more...

Croatia: The Death of Dinko Šakic

Saying it, so you don’t have to Lest We Believe Mainstream Nazism be Dead
My editor at the Baltimore Sun tells me that the secretary, who has been there for ages, has never in all her years in the newspaper business, witnessed the storm that my article last week elicited. In case you missed it, the piece was titled “When Will World Confront the Undead of Croatia?” and it called attention to the fact that not only has Croatia not sufficiently acknowledged its zealous Nazi past of WW2, but the past followed it into the 1990s — and the criminals of that decade are widely celebrated by Croatians even today.more...
