                               Introduction

     Old, or first, Croats are of Khazar descent? Are they an Ashkenazic tribe from the far

     East of Europe? Maybe. Maybe not. Personally, I'm not sure. We still don't have enough

     proofs for this theory... there are no proofs about. Not enough. But right now it doesn't

     atter.

     For the record, I'd like to make it clear ‑ the following story is based on FACTS.

     Nationalists across the world have been giving for years their support to Croats. They

     thought and miserly believed that Croats are the people with nationalists and racialists

     aspirations who fought for freedom and against Communist regime in Serbia. Well, the

     truth is a 'little bit' different.

     This booklet contains the text of a most revealing and shocking story of Croats and

     crimes not surpassed for brutality and atrocity in the whole history of Europe.

            Croats: Serb‑haters and Jew‑loving hypocrites

               Croatian people never have had a completely independent state. Over the

     centuries, Croat‑sattled territories were parts and provinces of various kingdoms and

     states.

          In the 20th century, instantly after the WW1, victorious Serbian army rescued Croatian people

from the "prison" ‑ what the Croats then called Austro‑Hungary. 

          Thus, Croatia joined Serbia in the first Yugoslav kingdom. Unfortunately, Croatian gratitude was

very short. From 1918 onward, Croatian politicians               

          like  Stiepan Radich (communist), Macek (Jew) and later Pavelich (married to Jewess) had

been deliberately teaching their people to hate Serbs. For twenty‑three

          years Croatian leaders had been persuading the Croat peasants and workers that the Serbian

"imperialists and oppressors" caused all their troubles and suffering.

     Before them, there was a "legendary" Josip Franck. Franck (or Frank), who was

     pureblooded Jew and dedicated freemason, was the "founding father" of Croatian racial

     chauvinist ideology. For him, Croats are not part of the European race. He says that all

     nations in the region of Balkans belong to "Croatian Race", including Bosnian muslims

     Franck stated that Bosnian muslims are "the flowers of the Croatian Race"). Of course,

     Franck's ideology was extremely anti‑Serb.    <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

     "urn:schemas‑microsoft‑com:office:office" />   

                      Who was Ante Starchevich?

     He was most important Croatian ideologist and inspirator of the hate towards Serbs, after Josip

     Franck. The author of theory of the racial and religious superiority of Croats over many

     European peoples, especially over the Serbs. He maintained that "the Croatian people could

     not restore its national State without prior extermination of the Serbian people". With Eugen

     Kvaternik (probably Jew), he establish the Croatian Party of Right in 1861. Starcevic predicated

     his policy on the so‑called "Croatian State right" and called for the creation of "Greater Croatia"

     from the Alps to the Prokletie Mountains. Denying the political indIviduality and territorial

     sovereignity of the Serbs in old Serbian provinces of Slavonia and Dalmatia, he and his followers

     claimed that Serbs were "Orthodox Croats". However they thought of Croats as a superior and

     of Serbs as an inferior race. The racial theory of Ante Starcevic and his "Franck‑loving"

     successors resulted in the "Ustas‑(h)a" movement's atempts to create a pure Croatian and

     Catholic‑only independent State of Croatia in the World War Two. Starcevic's statements that

     the Serbs were a "race of "rats" and that, for this reason, they should be axed" was put into

     practice in the Independent State of Croatia from 1941 to 1945.

     

       Return of the Ante Pavelich and his Ustasha movement

     As the danger of war approached, Yugoslav prince Paul (Pavle) felt it essential to solve the

     Croatian question by democratic means. He thought that Milan Stojadinovic was incapable to

     do it as he was Serb nationalist and pro‑German. In february 1939 he replaced him as premier

     with Dragisa Cvetkovic. The Italian invasion of Albania in April was a further warning. After some

     setbacks, an agreement with the Croats was achieved before war broke out.

     The Cvetkovic‑Mac(h)ek agreement of August 1939 set up single Croatian province, which

     included most territories of Croatian population. The administration of this area was placed in

     the hands of Macek* and his party (Croatian Peasant Party) which was also represented in the

     central Yugoslav government.

     

     The agreement had an uncertain reception in both Serbia and Croatia: the Serbian politicians

     felt betrayed by Macek, who appeared to have made a deal with the dictatorship at the expense

     of the Serbian people; and on the Croatian side, though the majority accepted the

     arrangement they (Croats) feared that the triumph of Axis powers would preclude them to set

     up an independent Croatian state under their control, if Serbs keep Yugoslavia. So they

     remained implacably opposed to Yugoslav state. But when an anglophile Yugoslav

     government refused (already signed) pact with Adolf Hitler, Germans started to show their

     interest in the exiled clandestine Marxist and Ustasha leader Ante Pavelich.

     Soon, Ante Pavelich returned to Croatia and instantly came into power, supported by 90% of

     Croatian population. Thus, Ustasha movement was the main force in Croatia.

                           "Bullets for Serbs"

     On April 12, 1941, two days after Croatia was proclaimed for an independent state, an

     order was published in the Zagreb (Croatia's capital) newspapers requiring all Serbs to

     leave the country within twenty‑four hours and threatening that anyone hiding Serbs

     would be shot! At that time in Croatia third of the population was actually Serb. This

     order by Dr. Ante Pavelich, head of the "Independent State of Croatia", was a prelude

     to a massacres of Serbs not surpassed for brutality and atrocity in the whole sorrowful

     history of the European race. Even the communist massacres of the innocent people in

     Russia, Ukraine, Poland, etc, incredible as this sounds, pale by comparison. More than

     600,000 defenseless Serbs, long resident in 'Croatia', including men, women, and small

     children, died in literally unprintable circumstances and another half‑million were driven

     from their homes, penniless and dying of starvation by the wayside!

     Devout Catholic, Dr. Mile Budak (Minister of Education and Cults in the Independent State of

     Croatia's government) said on July 22, 1941:  "The movement of the Ustasha is based on

     religion. For Serbs we have three million bullets. We shall kill one part of the Serbs. We

     shall deport another, and the rest of them will be forced to embrace our Roman Catholic faith.

     Thus, our new Croatia will get rid of all Serbs in our midst in order to become one hundred

     percent Catholic within ten years."

                                Massacres

     The organised terrorist attacks on Serbs and  massacres were carried out by the three

     branches of the Croatian forces: 1) the units of the "Ustashi" movement, 2) the  so‑called

     "Home Defense", and 3) the regular army. Local Croat officials often participated in the shooting

     of prominent Serbian citizens belonging to their locality. Most of these officials were men who

     had been put in by Dr. Machek himself when he set up his autonomous government in Croatia.

     They went over, with almost no resignations, and continued their functions under Pavelich.

     The object of the massacres was deliberate and political: it was to make Croatia a

     "Greater Croatia" by annexing Bosnia and Herzegovina, so that, if the victor of the war

     (WW2) allow the population to vote on their choice of country, there should be no

     Serbs alive to cast their ballots.

     It should be mentioned that Bosnia & Herzegovina has always been considered by

     historians, geographers, and ethnologists to be a Serbian province, since it is

     predominantly Serbian. The population statistics of Bosnia compiled by the

     Austro‑Hungarian Empire in 1914 (prior to the outbreak of World War I), when Bosnia

     was an Austro‑Hungarian province, may be considered to be impartial, since

     Austro‑Hungary never liked or was likely to favor the Serbian people.

      Austro‑Hungarian Statistics on the population of Bosnia ‑ 1914

      Orthodox (Serbs)                                                      930,000

      Muslem                                                                      620,000

      Catholic (two thirds Croats, and one third Serbs)    420,000

      Together:                                                                 1,970,000

      It means that over one million Serbs lived in Bosnia at that time.

     The history of the massacres is as follows: Between April 12 and 15 and on the night of

     May 31, 1941, mass arrests were made in cities of Zagreb, Sarajevo (Bosnia's capital),

     Mostar, Bana‑Luka, Travnik, Dubrovnik, Livno, and others. The first large massacres

     occurred the night of May 31, when groups of prominent Serbian citizens were

     "arrested" and taken to the outskirts of the towns and shot. These spring killings in

     Croatia proper are generally referred to as the Glina massacres.

      It should be mentioned that the Italian and German soldiers in Croatia and Bosnia tried

     many times to intervene to save the defenseless Serbs and often succeeded. Thus

     about 350 Serbians imprisoned by the Croats in Mostar, Livno, Trebinye, and

     Dubrovnik were released by the Italian troops. There were many other instances where

     the horrors revolted both Italian and German soldiers.

                                                                                                        Atrocities. Eyewitnesses.

     The great massacres of 1941 did not take place until June 24 to 28. They continued

     intermittently until November 1942, by which time practically all the 1,250,000 Serbs

     had been either exterminated or driven out. On June 22 a new order was issued stating

     "anyone using force against citizens of the country would be severely punished." This

     notice, designed to put the Serbs off the guard, was broadcast on the radio, read in

     churches, and published in newspapers. But simultaneously Pavelich sent a coded

     telegram to his Ustasha criminals ordering them to proceed with the massacres. What

     happened can best be told by some of the eyewitnesses:

     1. Walter Gorlitz (German military official) in his book "Der Zweite Weltkrieg 1939‑1945",

     Stuttgart, 1952. Band 11. on page 125 writes the following:

     "...Unfortunately, one of the first measures undertaken by the Catholic Ustashi regime was a

     terrible military venture of extermination of the Serbian Greek‑Orthodox parts of population

     which has come under the Croatian rule. The horrors that had taken place at that time had

     thrown the young country into a predestined civil war..."

     2. Karlheinz Deschner  (German writer, Catholic and a professor of philosophy) in his

     book "Mit Gott und den Faschisten", Stuttgart, October 1965 and "Abermalsrahen der

     Hahn", Stuttgart, December 1962, writes the following:

     "...The Serbs have become slaughterhouse material. In accordance with this doctrine the

     Ustashi started actions against Serbs, the people of the highest cultural level in the Balkans

     but not of the Catholic faith..."

     "...Catholics were urged from the church pulpits to persecute Orthodox Serbs and especially

     arduous in this were the Franciscans whose monasteries have for a long time served as

     meeting grounds for the Ustashi..."

     "...Furthermore it is understood that from the total of two million Orthodox population, almost

     600,000 was killed..."

     3. In 1953 Italian military authorities have made available to the press several documents

     from their archives, pertaining to the Ustashi crimes perpetrated over the Serbian people.

     Thus the daily "Il Tempo" of September 10, 1953, published the following excerpts from

     the report of the Commander of the Italian "Sasari" division:

     "Population in some places was completely exterminated, after having been tortured and

     tormented...

     The horrors that the Ustashi have committed over the Serbian small girls is beyond all words.

     There are hundreds of photographs confirming these deeds because those of them who have

     survived the torture: bayonetted hits, pulling of tongues and teeth, nails and breast tips (all this

     having been done after they were raped), were taken in by our officers and transported to Italian

     hospitals where these documents and facts were gathered."

     4. Curzio Malaparte, one of the most famous Italian writers who attained world fame,

     wrote the book "Kaputt", Roma‑Milano 1948 (Decima edizione). The book was published

     in New York, London, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, Brussels, Belgrade... In his book

     Malaparte describes his visit to Ante Pavelic, the leader of Ustasha:

     "...While they were talking I noticed a cane basket on the left hand side of the Pavelic's desk.

     The cover was slightly raised and I could see that the basket was full of sea fruit. At least, that

     is what I thought it was. It looked like oysters but extracted from the shells, like the ones that

     you sometimes can see served on large plates at Fortnumm and Mason, in Piccadilly in

     London. Casertano looked at me and gave me a sign with his eyes:

          'How would you like to have some oyster soup?'

          'Are they Dalmatian oysters?' I asked Pavelic.

     Ante Pavelic took the lid off the basket and showed me the sea fruit, that sticky and jelly‑like

     mass, and then said, laughing with his frank and tired laughter: 'This is the gift from my faithful

     Ustashi, twenty kilos of human eyes.'"

     5. Source: Letter written by Privislav Grizogono, a Croat and a Roman‑Catholic,

     ex‑member of the Yugoslav Diplomatic Corps, addressed to Dr. Aloisius Stepinac,

     Roman‑Catholic Archbishop of Zagreb, Croatia, February 8, 1942. Published in

     translation by the ‘American Srbobran’, a Yugoslav paper in Pittsburgh, Pa., U.S.A.,

     February 24, 1943:

     "These atrocities do not amount to killings alone. They aim at extermination of

     everything Serbian, including women, children, and aged men, and in terribly wild

     tortures of the victims. These innocent Serbs were stuck on poles alive, and fires were

     built on their bare chests. Literally, they were roasted alive, burned to death in their

     homes and churches. Boiling water was poured on live victims before mutilation; their

     flesh was salted. Eyes were dug out of live victims, ears amputated, noses and tongues

     lobbed off. The beards and mustaches of priests, together with their skin, were ripped

     off rudely by knives. They were tied to trucks and dragged behind them. The arms and

     legs of the victims were broken and their heads were spiked"

     "They were thrown into the deep cisterns and caves, then literally bombed to pieces.

     Crowbars smashed their heads. Their children were thrown into fire, scalding water,

     and fed to the fired lime furnaces. Other children were parted by their legs; their heads

     crushed against walls and their spines dashed against rocks. These and many other

     methods of torture were employed against the Serbs‑tortures which normal people

     cannot conceive. Thousands of Serbian bodies floated down the Sava, Drava, and

     Danube rivers and their tributaries. Many of these bodies bore tags: "Direction ‑

     Belgrade. To Serbian King Peter". In one boat on the Sava river there was a pile of

     children's heads, with a woman's head (presumably the mother of the children) labeled:

     "Meat for John's Market ‑ in Belgrade" (meaning meat for the Serbian market)"

     "Then, in Bosnia, a huge pile of roasted heads was found. Utensils full of Serbian blood

     were also discovered; this was the hot blood of their murdered brothers that other

     Serbs were forced to drink.

     Countless women, girls, and children were raped ‑ mothers before daughters and

     daughters before mothers ‑ while many women, girls, and little female children were

     ushered off to Ustashi garrisons to be used as prostitutes. Rapes were committed even

     before the altars of the Serbian Orthodox Churches. About 3,000 Serbs were murdered

     in the Serbian Orthodox Church at Glina, and the massacre of Serbs before the altar at

     Kladusha Orthodox Church with sledgehammers is something never mentioned in

     history....

     There are detailed and official reports about these unheard‑of crimes. They are so

     terrible they have shocked even the Germans and Italians. Many pictures were taken of

     these massacres and torture orgies. The German soldiers and officers claim the Croats

     did these same things in Germany during the Thirty‑Year War and that, since then,

     there is a proverb in Germany: “God save us from cholera, hunger, and the Croats”.

     Even the Germans from Srem (Syrmia, a province in Northern Serbia) hate us and act

     friendly toward the Serbs. The Italians have photographed a vessel holding 31.5

     kilograms of Serbian eyes, and one Croat decorated with a wreath of Serbian eyes

     came to Dubrovnik with two wreaths of Serbian tongues.

       Though we Croats shall never be able to erase this shamefulness which we brought

     upon ourselves with these crimes, we can at least lessen our responsibility before the

     world and our consciences if we raise our voices in protest against all these crimes.

     This is the last hour for us to do so. After all the great crimes in history, punishments

     follow! What will happen to us Croats if the impression is formed that we participated in

     all these crimes to the finish?!"

     

                                                                        At Zemun, Feb. 8, 1942

     There are passages in this document relating to Croatian atrocities which are

     unprintable.

       Source: A legal affidavit, signed and sworn to by Hilmia Herberovic, a Mohammedan

     resident of Croatia, in regard to the Glina massacres:

        "On the day of the bombing I was in Belgrade, and I left on the same day to report to

     my command in Susak in accordance with my mobilisation orders.... I cannot remember

     the date, but I think it must have been the 17th or 18th of April 1941. The unit

     commander on that date called all soldiers together and informed us that the war was

     over and everyone should proceed home.... I arrived home in Bosanski Novi (a small

     town in Bosnia) about the 24th of April, 1941.... Then I received an order from the

     military command in Petrina to report there.... At the beginning of June my unit was

     ordered to Glina to establish order and peace in that district and to collect all the arms

     and ammunition from the people....

     On our arrival in Glina we searched the houses of that town and then went to the

     neighboring villages. When the searching was over, the Ustashis arrived from Zagreb

     and Petrina and we were then ordered to round up from the villages all men from twenty

     to forty five years of age.... At the beginning we arrested only the men. We collected

     them from the villages and shut them in the Court gaol. There they remained several

     days, until the gaols were filled, and they were then put to death. The killing was done

     in several ways. Some were locked up in the Orthodox Church in Glina, which could

     contain 1,000 men. Then the unit officer chose about fifteen men to do the killing. They

     were then sent into the church with knives.

     During the butchering, sentries were placed before the church. This was necessary

     because some of the Orthodox Serbs climbed up the bell tower and jumped into the

     porch. All these were killed by the sentries in the porch. I was three times chosen to do

     the killing. Each time we were accompanied by some officers, Josip Dobric and  Miho

     Cvitkovich, and some Croatian Ustashi officers.

      When we entered the church the officers remained at the door and watched while we

     did the killing. The killing usually began at about ten o'clock in the evening and lasted

     until two o'clock in the morning, and the cries were continued until the last Serb was

     killed. These killings in the church took place seven‑eight times, and I took part in them

     three times. Every time we were so bespattered with blood that our uniforms could not

     be cleaned. We therefore changed them in the magazine and washed them later. The

     church was washed after every killing, after the corpses were taken away in motor

     trucks. Usually they were thrown into the river Glina. Sometimes they were buried.

     Some we struck in the heart and some in the neck. Some we struck haphazard. During

     the killings there were no lights in the church, except that some soldiers were specially

     appointed to light our way with electric torches. It happened on several occasions that

     some Serb rushed us with his fists or kicked us in the stomach, but he was butchered

     immediately. There was always much noise during the killing. The Serbs used to shout

     proudly "LONG LIVE FATHERLAND SERBIA!", "LONG LIVE SERBIAN PEOPLE!",

     "DOWN WITH PAVELICH!", "DOWN WITH THE USTASHIS!", "DOWN WITH CROATIA!"

     etc.

     My unit's task was to round up the Serbs in Glina and in the Glina district, but orders

     were also given that all Serbs in the districts of Topusko and Vrgin. Most as well as

     Glina should be rounded up and killed. I do not know exactly how many Serbs were

     killed, but I have heard it said that about 120 thousand Serbs from the above

     mentioned districts have been killed, including children and old people.

     I have nothing more to add. These notes have been read out to me, and all my

     statements have been correctly written down. I can read and write.

                      Vatican and Ustashi Croatia

     "...The revival of a policy of forcible conversion assumes an even more portentous significance

     when one remembers that it occurred with the tacit approval of the Vatican. Had the Vatican

     disapproved not a single priest could have taken part in the massacres or forcible conversions

     of Orthodox Serbs. A village priest can act only with the approval of minor Hierarchs who

     themselves cannot move without the permission of their Bishop, while the Bishop, in his turn,

     must act according to the instructions of his Archbishop; the Archbishop only on those of the

     Primate; the Primate on the direct instructions of the Vatican. The Vatican is the personal

     dominion of the Pope. The Pope being the central pivot of the vast Hierarchical machinery, it

     follows that the ultimate responsibility for all members of the clergy‑or, to be more precise, for

     the collective action of any given national Hierarchy ‑ rests with him. This cannot be otherwise.

     For policies of great import must be submitted to him before their promotion by all Hierarchies

     the world over, the Pope being their sole authority. If the responsibility for the monstrous

     persecutions of Orthodox Serbs rests with the head of the National Hierarchy‑i.e. Stepinac‑it

     has automatically to rest also with the Head of the Universal Church, without whose consent

     the Catholic Hierarchy would not have dared to act‑‑i.e. with Pius XII.

     

     Pius Xll could not plead ignorance of what was going on in Croatia by bringing forward the

     excuse of the obstacles of war. Communication between Rome and Croatia was as easy and

     as free in peace‑time... Political and religious Ustashi leaders came and went between Rome

     and Zagreb... Moreover, the Pope knew what was happening in Croatia, not only through the

     Hierarchical administrative machinery, which kept him up to date on all Croatian events, but

     also through other reliable sources. They were:

                    (a) The Papal Legate. Pius XII, it should never be forgotten, had a personal

                    representative in Croatia, whose task was to implement Vatican policy and

                    coordinate it with that of Pavelich, as well as reporting on religious and

                    political matters to the Pope himself. The Papal Legate to Croatia was

                    Mgr. Marcone, who openly blessed the Ustashi publicly gave the Fascist

                    salute, and encouraged Catholics (e.g. when he went to Mostar) to be

                    "faithful to the Holy See, which had helped that same people for centuries

                    against Eastern barbarism"‑that is say, against the Orthodox Church and

                    the Serbs. Thus, the Pope's official representative openly instigated

                    religious persecution, as well as praying for victory "under the leadership of

                    the Head of the State Pavelic," against the Yugoslav National Liberation

                    Army in 1944 ‑ 5.

                    (b) Cardinal Tiseran, head of the Holy Congregation of Eastern Churches.

                    This congregation's specific task was to deal with Eastern Churches.

                    Cardinal Tiseran received detailed reports of every forcible conversion and

                    massacre in Croatia. Between April and June, 19 over 100,000 Orthodox

                    Serbs were massacred; yet Cardinal Tiseran on July 17, 1941, had the

                    audacity to declare that Archbishop Stepinac would now do a great work

                    for the development of Catholicism in "the Independent State of

                    Croatia...where there are such great hopes for the conversion of those who

                    are not of the true faith."

                    (c) Ante Pavelich, who, by his representative to the Vatican, through whom

                    Pius XII sent "special blessing to the Leader (Pavelic)," forwarded regular

                    reports, at times straight from the Minister of Religions, about the "rapid"

                    progress of the Catholicization of the New Croatia.

                    (d) Last but not least, Archbishop Stepinac himself, who in person visited

                    Pius XII twice, and who supplied His Holiness with figures of the forcible

                    conversions. In an official document, dated as late as May 8, 1944, His

                    Eminence Archbishop Stepinac, head of the Catholic Hierarchy, in fact,

                    informed the Holy Father that to date "244,000 Orthodox Serbs" had been

                    "converted to the Church of God."

                                HOLY SEE AND PAVELICH'S CROATIA

     It was not without reason that the official Catholic press gave the public to understand that the

     Holy See had recognized the new Croatia de facto. Another pontifical measure soon added

     significance to the event of Pavelic's ceremonious welcome at the Vatican, usually given only

     for the head of a government. The Pope on 13 June (Pavelic's name day, "Antunovo")

     designated His Grace, Giuseppe Ramiro Marcone, a Benedictine of the Monte Vergine

     congregation and a member of the Roman Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, to represent him

     at the Croatian episcopacy. But in the matter of attributions His Grace, Marcone, singularly

     surpassed those of an "apostolic visitor," that being his official title. So, according to the

     protocol of the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Zagreb, he was classified, with his secretary,

     Masucci, another Benedictine, under the heading: "Delegation of the Holy See," and in official

     ceremonies he was placed ahead of the representatives of the Axis, being considered the Dean

     of the diplomatic corps. Furthermore, His Grace, Marcone, in his correspondence with the

     Ustashi government, called himself "Sancti Sedis Legatus" or "Elegatus," but never "apostolic

     visitor."

     

     The Croat hierarchy, as well as the press, referred to Ramiro Marcone as the Pope's Legate,

     giving him the title of "His Excellency," and never specifically mentioned him as the Pope's

     observer or envoy to the Croat Catholic Episcopacy. During the ordaining of the new Bishop,

     Janko Simrak in Krizevci, on August 18, 1942, "the Pope's legate to the Independent State of

     Croatia, Mgr. Ramiro Marcone was present with his secretary. In reporting on the Pontifical

     Requiem which was held in Zagreb after the death of Maglione, Secretary of the Vatican, on

     August 24, 1944, the "Catholic List" wrote that Mgr. Ramiro Marcone, the delegate of the Holy

     See in the Independent State of Croatia,27 was also present. Another article published in the

     Christmas issue of the "Katolicki List" mentions again that "the Honorabe Fra. Ramiro

     Marcone, was the delegate of the Holy See in Zagreb." In an article on apologetics, which

     appeared in the Katolicki List in connection with the "celebration of the name's day of the

     honorable legate," it is clearly seen that Mgr. Ramiro Marcone was the "legate of the Holy See

     in the Independent State of Croatia.

     "Catholic List" wrote how the clero‑Ustashi group looked upon Fra. Marcone, and said the

     following in that regard: "This was more than was needed for establishing the recognition de

     facto since as the name indicated, it was not conferred by international law, or by any explicit

     declaration, but was deducted from an ensemble of facts, which in themselves were amply

     significant. His Grace, Stepinac, understood this perfectly when he noted in his journal on

     August 3rd, the day the Pope's representative reached Zagreb: 'By this act, the Holy See has

     recognized via facti the Independent State of Croatia.'

     "Catholic List" also wrote the following regarding Ramiro Marcone's position and mission: "We,

     the Croats, see in Fra. Marcone a high diplomatic representative of the Pope, our Holy

     Father.... May the Lord bless his sacrificing work, may it bear the richest fruits to the benefit of

     the Holy Church and the State of Croatia."

     It is natural that such a political introduction given to Fra. Marcone was bound to affect the

     Catholic masses in the Fascist Independent State of Croatia, as well as the Ustashi

     government. It must have reflected on the religious feelings and political orientation of the

     Catholic masses. By interpreting Fra. Marcone's role in such a manner, a conscious and

     intentional influence acted on the Catholic masses invoking in them the desire to preserve the

     Independent State of Croatia.

     In exchange, Pavelic sent two unofficial representatives to the Vatican, Nikola Rusinovic, and

     then Erwin Lobkowicz, the Pope's secret chamberlain. Although they had no titles, they were

     diplomatic agents, and implicitly recognized as such, since His Grace Canali, the great

     manipulator of finances at St. Peter's provided them with Vatican ration tickets, "carta

     annonaria", to which all accredited diplomats of the Holy See were entitled. It can thus be

     observed that there were close ties between the Vatican and Satellite Croatia, where Giuseppe

     Ramiro Marcone remained until the debacle, transmitting instructions from Rome to the

     Croatian clergy and episcopacy, principally concerning the conversions of the Orthodox Serbs,

     and often traveling from one region to another, where the battle was raging between the

     resistants and the Ustashi. The "apostolic visitor" can be seen in the Pavelich's intimate family

     circle, looking most paternal and benevolent.  The cordiality of these public as well as private

     relationships remained untouched by the assassination of the Serbian Orthodox priests, which

     continued to multiply.

     On May 21st, the same day that the Croat delegation returned triumphant from Rome, the

     Orthodox Serbian Bishop of Co. Plaski, Sava Trlaic, was arrested by the Ustashi officer Fra.

     Josip Tomlienovic, and his palace pillaged and demolished. He was taken in a truck to Ogulin

     with three other priests, Revs. Jasa Stepanov, Milan Raicevic, and Bogolub Gakovic, and also

     thirteen Serbian notables. All of them were shut up in a stable, beaten and tortured, and then

     taken away to city  of Gospic. From there, about Aug. 15th, they were sent away by convoy,

     with two thousand Serbs, to the Island of Pag where general "liquidation" took place.

     

     Even in Zagreb, where His Grace Stepinac and the "visitor" Marcone resided, the Serbian

     Orthodox Bishop Dositey, was beaten and tortured to such an extent that he became insane.

     There were four Serbian Orthodox Bishops with those from Bosnia‑Herzegovina, to which

     should be added approximately 171 priests and religious followers, who, like the first Christians,

     met the fate of martyrs upon the ruins of their profaned churches. Others were deported to

     Serbia. Only those of the mountainous regions, in Krayina (Serbian part of Croatia), controlled

     by the Serbian paramilitaries, were able to escape.

     

     The Serbian Orthodox population, thus bereft of the traditional leaders, became an easier prey

     for the converters, as well as for the assassins. Massive massacres took place after their death

     and torture in the bishoprics of the two martyrs, Sava and Dositey, which served as a prelude to

     equally massive conversions. Croatian Catholic clergy was many times behind Ustashi

     violence. For example, it happened that Fra. Viktor Gutic was none other than the Ustashi

     prefect who had ordered the "liquidation" of many Serbian Orthodox Bishops, like Bishop Platon

     of Bania Luka, with all the refinements of cruelty which have, heretofore, been described.

     

     Serbian Orthodox Bishops ‑ Martyrs are:

                    1) Zagreb metropolitan Dositey Vasic (born in 1877, ordained in 1899,

                    bishop of Nis in 1913). Interned in Bulgaria during World War I. Elected

                    first Zagreb metropotitan in 1932, and enthroned in 1933. As the oldest

                    member of the Holy Synod, he was in charge of Church affairs during the

                    illness of Patriarch Varnava, and until the election of the new patriarch.

                    During World War II, he was severely humiliated and maltreated in Zagreb,

                    and then expelled to Belgrade. In poor health due to his sufferings in

                    the Independent State of Croatia, he died on January 13, 1945 in the

                    Belgrade Monastery of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary, and was buried

                    there.

                    2) The good white‑haired old man, metropolitan of Bosnia and Sarajevo,

                    Petar Zimonjic (born 1866, ordained in 1895, metropolitan of Zahumlie and

                    Herzegovina in 1903, and of Bosnia in 1920), one of the most eminent

                    Serbian dignitaries, remained with his flock in 1941. He was arrested on

                    May 12. There are many testimonies of his heroic stand when he faced the

                    criminals. He was innocently killed that same year. Several versions exist

                    about his martyrdom in the Independent State of Croatia. The precise

                    place of his death is not known.

                    3) The bishop of Karlovac Sava Trlajic (born in 1884, ordained in 1909,

                    bishop in 1934, bishop of Karlovac since 1938); early in the war he refused

                    the offer made by the Italian occupiers to move to Belgrade, and remained

                    with his Orthodox people ‑ underwent many humiliations in the

                    Independent State of Croatia, and finally ended his life as a martyr. The

                    place of his grave is still unknown.

                    4) The bishop of Banja Luka Platon Jovanovic (born in 1874, bishop in

                    1936, and bishop of Banja Luka in 1939) died a martyr's death in the

                    Independent State of Croatia, on May 5, 1941, and was thrown into the

                    Vrbania river. He was later buried in the Orthodox cemetery of Bania Luka.

                     CROATIAN CARDINAL STEPINAC WAS PAVELICH'S HEAD MILITARY

                                           CHAPLAIN

     In the guise of a reply, or rather a challenge, to those who everywhere implored him to

     stop the scandalous aid which the Catholic clergy lent to Pavelic's blood‑thirsty regime,

     the Vatican made a decision: they named "His Grace" Stepinac head military chaplain

     of the Croatian army. It is true that this nomination was made "sine titulo". On the other

     hand, the first prelate of Croatia was not obliged to exercise, effectively and personally,

     his new functions.

     "His Grace" Stepinac announced his promotion to the Ordinariats by such letters as the

     following, addressed to the Ordinariat of the Archbishopric of Sarajevo (No. 22/BK/1942

     on January 20, 1942):

     "I have the honor of informing the honorable Ordinariat that have been made Head

     Military Chaplain 'sine titulo' for the Croatian Ustashe army. I have designated as my

     substitutes the Rev. Stiepo Vuchetich, military priest of the Croatian Armed Forces, and

     Rev. Vilim Cecelia, superior military priest at the Ministry of the Croatian Armed Forces,

     and I have given them jurisdiction with the necessary authority endorsed by the Holy

     See. You will eventually be given the names of the military chaplains in the territory of

     your Ordinariat by the office of the military vicariate at the Ministry of the Croatian Armed

     forces."

     There is one savory detail connected with this affair. Vilim Cecelia, replacing Stepinac as

     leading chaplain, with the grade of a Lt. Colonel, was. at the same time Pavelic's

     confessor.

     As soon as the new promotion of the Archbishop of Zagreb was made known,

     approximately 150 priests applied for voluntary service as chaplains in the criminal

     Ustashe army, and even "His Grace" Stepinac's own secretary, Stiepan (Stephen)

     Lackovich (now in Los Angeles), was sworn in to one of the units. The official paper,

     "Ustasa", reported in its 47th issue of November 22, 1942, as it did in previous issues,

     some of the salient acts of these bellicose ecclesiastics and were decorated by Pavelic.

     Stepinac, from time to time, honored the leave‑taking of the legionnaires for the front by

     his presence. He was accompanied by His Grace Ramiro Marcone, the Vatican's

     "apostolic visitor". As can be seen, this prelate had a great conception of his functions

     and duties as military chaplain, even "sine titulo." Pavelic had every reason to be

     satisfied, and he proclaimed far and wide: "I am convinced that posterity will be grateful

     to you Roman Catholic Croatian priests for having inculcated our first soldiers of the

     Independent State of Croatia with a wholesome spirit, a high morality and respect for

     God, as well as with fearlessness and courage in facing the enemy both within and

     without." ("Nova Hrvatska" ‑ "New Croatia", Nov. 26, 1941.)

     Stepinac not only showed his warlike attitude when he was with the military Ustashi in

     the barracks, but also when he was with the intellectuals taking charge of the

     mobilization of the Croats for the cause of the Ustashi Croatian state, where he helped

     to encourage and boost their drooping morale. It was, above all, among the members of

     the Catholic organization, "Domagoj," that he was the most active.

     "His Holiness" Pius XII remained, as always, cordially paternal toward Pavelic's

     collaborators: "The Ustashi youth of the crusades, numbering 206, all dressed up in

     Ustashi uniforms, had a private audience with the Pope on February 6, 1942, in one of

     the most sacred halls of the Vatican. The reporter wrote that 'the most touching moment

     was when the youthful Ustashi begged the Pope to bless their "Poglavnik" ("supreme

     head"), the Independent State of Croatia, and the Croatian people. Each member

     received a medal as a souvenir.' ("Katolicki Tjednik" ‑ "Catholic Weekly", Feb. 15, 1942).

     

     "Nearly half of the 22 concentration camps in the Ustashi Independent State of Croatia,

     during WWII were headed by Croatian Roman Catholic clergy..."

     

                                     

               USTASHA MOVEMENT WAS PRO‑JEWISH

                                     

     Contrary to the communist and Zionist stories Ustashe movement was, basically,

     formed and led by the Jews and Croatian Jew‑lovers. I had mentioned some of them but I

     didn't mention probably one of the most known Ustashi leaders and cutthroats,

     Viekoslav Maximilian 'Max' Luburich, who was pure‑blooded Jew. Ante Pavelic's

     godfather and deputy, Andria Artukovich, was also married to Jewess. Enough said.

     There are no proofs that there was any organised action of Ustashi cutthroat army

     against Jewish population in Croatia. Moreover, in the WW2 many Jews escaped from

     Serbia to Croatia after nationalist government, led by general Milan Nedic, came to

     power in Serbia.

         From 1991 to now: New Independent State of Croatia

     

     The third genocide attempt against the Serbs was took place from 1991 ‑ 1995 within the

     borders of the internationally recognized Republic of Croatia under the leadership of late

     Franjo Tudjman. The present day Croatian State continues the State personality of the

     (Ustashi) Independent State of Croatia, as was said unequivocally by Franjo Tudjman at

     the first congress of his party, Croatian Democratic Community (HDZ). "The Independent

     State of Croatia was an expression of the historical aspirations of the Croatian people for

     its own independent State and the recognition of international factors. Accordingly, the

     Independent State of Croatia did not represent a mere of the Axis powers, but was a

     consequence of certain historical circumstance."

                         Who was Franjo Tudjman?

     In the shortest lines: Doctor Franjo Tudjman was founder of the HDZ (Croatian

     Democratic Community) party and was the first president of the new Independent State

     of Croatia. 50 years ago he was Tito's (Josip "TITO" Broz  was a Jewish communist

     dictator in the former Yugoslavia. Another Croatian Jew.)  communist general but in 1990

     he became the virulent Croatian nationalist. He was invited and has participated in the

     solemn opening of Jewish memorial museum in New York City.

     

                                      

          Serbs in the Croatian death‑mill... for the third time

                                     

     The year of 1991. Once again Croats (this time led by F. Tudjman) wish to break away

     from Yugoslavia and once again they are supported by International Jewry and

     Freemasonry (EU/UN/USA). Unfortunately, they don't want just to break away from

     Yugoslavia and form their own independent state... They want also to purge all Serbs

     from their (Serbian) lands and make Croatia Serb‑free. On the other hand, Serbs [under

     that circumstances] want to append their ancient territories to Serbian state. They are

     loyal and wish to live with their brethren in one, common state... The war broke

     out... Serbs are in the Croatian death‑mill ‑ for the third time.

     On two nights between October 16 to 18 1991, 24 innocent Serbs were slain and burned

     in the place called Perusic, near town of Gospic.

     The crimes committed in Gospic

     By Dr. Zoran Stankovic, pathologist

     From October 16 to 18, soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and masks on their faces

     were abducting civilians, mostly Serbs, in Gospic and its surrounding communities, and

     taking them to unknown destinations. Later on, the members of the JNA (Yugoslav

     People's Army) and the Serbian Territorial Defence [unit from the village of Siroka Kula],

     found 24 mostly charred corpses at a place called Kukin Do. Some corpses were

     recognized as those of people taken away from Gospic in the above mentioned period.

     There were 15 men and 9 women, and 11 corpse s could not be indentified nor was it

     possible to detect injuries which had caused their death. All of the identified persons

     were Serbs from Gospic, who had disappeared between October 16 to 18, 1991.

     Bullet wounds, lashes caused by the blade of mechanical instruments, piercing wounds

     caused by the point and blade of mechanical instruments and inward fractures of the

     skull caused by the blunt side of mechanical implements were some of the injuries iden

     tified. In the case of 18 corpses, it was not possible to establish reliably the exact

     number and type of injuries, because some of their parts were missing, while the

     corpses were charred...

      List of identified victims:

        1.U‑S‑2: Branko Stulic, 54 years old, District Court Judge, Gospic.

          The victim had been hit by at least six bullets and there was a wound on his neck

          which had been inflicted by the blade of a mechanical instrument.

        2.U‑S‑5: Stanko Smiljanic, 54 years old, jurist from Gospic.

          The victim had been hit by at least two bullets.

        3.U‑S‑7: Mira Kalanj, an economist from Gospic, mother of two sons.

          The victim was found to have an inward fracture of the occipital bone and

          fragmented (small and large pieces) parietal bone and base of skull caused by

          the blunt side of a mechanical instrument.  

        4.U‑S‑11: Dane Bulj, 55 years old, office worker from Gospic

          the victim had been hit by at least two bullets. On the right shoulder, there was a

        5.U‑S‑12: Duro Kalanj, 52 years old, Deputy Public Prosecutor, Gospic

          The victim had been hit by at least nine bullets. It was not possible to establish

          the exact number and type of injuries because the soft tissue of the both rumps

          and left thigh was missing due to the activity of rodents and the body was in the

          advanced stage of decomposition, frozen and mostly charred.

        6.U‑S‑13: Milan Pantelic, employee of the Gospic Hydrometeorological Bureau

          The victim had been hit by at list one bullet. On the head, there were two cuts

          with inward skull frectures on the right side of the forehead and right side of the

          occipital bode. There were cuts on on his back.

        7.U‑S‑15: Milos Orlovic, 49 years old, from Gospic.

          The back of his head had been smashed in with the blunt side of a mechanical

          instrument.

        8.U‑S‑16: Radovan Barac, senior postal technician from Gospic

          the head, neck and front side of both thighs.

        9.U‑S‑18 Ljubica Trifunovic, pensioner from Gospic

          The victim had been hit by three bullets. A piercing wound inflicted with the point

          and a blade of a mechanical instrument was found in the occipital region of the

          head. The inner side of the right upper arm was without soft tissue as the result of

          expo sure of the corpse to reodents. The body [as well as all of the other

          corpses] was in an advanced stage of decomposition, frozen and charred on the

          neck, chest and both hands.

       10.U‑S‑19: Petar Lazic, 42 years old, employee of Industrogradnja, Zagreb

          the victim had been hit by four bullets.

       11.U‑S‑20: Borka Vranes, pensioner from Gospic, WWII partisan veteran.

          She had been hit by five bullets fired from a gun. Her body was almost completely

          carbonized.

       12.U‑S‑22: Dusanka Vranes, senior nurse from Gospic

          the victim had been hit by at least three bullets. A wound which had been inflicted

          with the blade of a mechanical instrument was found on the right side of the face.

          On right shoulder, a piercing wound which had been inflicted by a point of a

          mechanical instrument was also found.

       13.U‑S‑23: Nikola Gajic, 58 years old, pensioner from Gospic

          the victim had been hit by at least one bullet. A cut overlaying inward fractures of

          the bones, which had been inflicted with the blade of a mechanical instrument,

          was found on the right side of his face.

     The statement of Milica Smiljanic, wife of the slain Stanko Smilanic

     "...They came to get my husband at midnight on 16 October. They barged into the

     house armed to the teeth; they were wearing camouflage uniforms and green caps, with

     holes for eyes, pulled over their faces. They found us hiding in the cellar and then they

     started shooting at the ceiling and shouting:"Get up, you bandits!" I recognized one of

     them by his voice. It was Irfan Mataija, a local. They demanded from us to sign a

     statement which stated that the Serbs in Croatia were not endangered. We refused to do

     so, because it wasn't true. My husband and brother‑in‑law were then ordered to get

     dressed. They tied them up and shoved them onto a truck. I was escorted at a gun point

     to the house of Radovan Barac, where they demanded that I ask him to come out.

     Radovan's mother came out instead. She refused to call her son. They took them both

     away. I was visited on the same night by Luka Sulentic, who was one of the first who

     had been picked up by the Ustashe; he was released later once it was established that

     he was a Croat. Sulentic told me that scores of Serbs had been arrested and taken by

     trucks to Smiljan. I spent three months searching for my husband and brother‑in‑law,

     Milan. Several times I addressed in person Zelko Bolf, the chief of police in Gospic. I

     begged him to find out what had happened to Stanko and Milan. He promissed to make

     inquiries and let me know, which he never did. I managed to escape from Gospic thanks

     to a Croatian police officer who helped me get an ausweis (a pass), so that I was able to

     reach Zagreb, via Karlobag, Sen, Rieka, Delnice and Karlovac. From Zagreb, I went to

     Doboi, and from there to Serbia.

     Stanko had no [personal] enemies. He never engaged in politics; he didn't belong to any

     political party. He simply wasn't interested in such things. Now I now that his only sin

     was his Serbian descent..."

        Industry of Death ‑ Death Squads go on a rampage through Kraina*

                     F.T. Feral Tribune, 10/16/95, Split, Croatia

     It turns out that the cruel crime in Varivode was only a link in a bloody chain: seven

     elderly persons from the village of Gospic, hamlet of Borak, located four kilometers west

     from Devrsak, were murdered in the early afternoon hours on 8/27/95. Sava, Marija,

     Grozdana, Vasilj, Kosa, Dusan and Milan Borak were, on average, 70 years old.

     There are no living creatures left in the hamlet of Borak. Only a strong, unpleasant

     stench of the decomposing bodies of dead animals and inside houses old traces serve

     as a "reminder" of a drama: blood stains on kitchen tiles, bullet holes in the walls,

     opened portion from the humanitarian assistance package on the table, two pairs of

     glasses, rotten tomatoes, Slobodna Dalmacija paper from August 26...

     "On the day that happened I was taking food to the village", stated for Feral one of the

     indirect witnesses, who because of fear wanted to remain anonymous.        "I went to

     finish some business in the neighboring village and upon my return, about half an hour

     later, I found that the elderly inhabitants of the village had been massacred. They had

     been shot through their heads. They lay on the thresholds of their houses, sometimes

     2‑3 of them together; body of one of the elderly women was in a chair... I was terrified

     and frightened... On my way out of the village I passed an all‑terrain vehicle in which

     there were people in camouflage uniforms..."

     Another witness said that the bodies of the victims had been transported to Knin in two

     police helicopters. Allegedly, minister [of internal affairs] Ivan Jarnjak and his deputy

     Josko Moric appeared on the spot. However, it is still not known how far the Croatian

     police investigation of these crimes has gone and whether the police has continued the

     investigation after all. The victims of the crime in Gosic received at least a bit of Christian

     respect: they were buried at the Knin cemetery; crosses with numbers 543 to 550 were

     placed on their graves.

     Feral's reporter was, on Friday, present when the corpse of 84‑year‑old Dusan Saric was

     found in Kakanj, a village 4 kilometers from Varivode. His corpse had been floating in a

     well located next to his house. Dusan Saric was se en alive for the last time when the

     activists from the International Red Cross delivered regular humanitarian assistance on

     9/18/95.

     Kraina stinks of crimes committed by Croatian death squads. In the village of Oton, near

     Knin, R.K. (initials arbitrary) is still in a state of shock. He described a tragedy to the

     Feral's reporter: Croatian soldiers demanded that he slaughter a calf for them. While he

     was doing that, he heard shots from an automatic rifle from a nearby meadow. They

     killed his mother. He buried her at the place of the crime. She was born in 1906.

     "I was sitting in the kitchen and my son was asleep. Then a four of them barged into the

     house. They asked where our identification cards and "domovnice" [a document which

     proves Croatian citizenship] were. My son got up and they started to search through the

     house; they were pulling out drawers and smashing things. Then one of them picked up

     a gun, put the barrel on my son's neck and took him away." This is the testimony of an

     elderly woman from the village of Zrmana‑Vrelo. Her 50‑year‑old son was killed in a

     nearby forest on 9/29/95 at 5 p.m.; four bullets were fired at his chest. The body was in

     the forest for two nights until the investigators arrived. "The locals covered the body and

     guarded it lest someone took it away; they also wanted to protect it from animals."

     Commander of the former Sector South, Alain Forand has stated that the civilian UN

     police had found 128 corpses of the Serb civilians who had been killed after the end of

     war operations in Kraina; they gave all the available data to Croatian authorities but

     haven't received any information from the authorities regarding the investigations.

     Croatian Helsinki Committee (HHO), after checking, branded as false "inaccurate reports

     that the Croatian authorities have arrested certain citizens of the Republic of Croatia

     because of the committed crimes."

     In Croatia, the emphasis this Fall is on the new democratic elections.

                       Soil soaked with the blood

     Above are just a few examples of Croatian crimes against Serbs, comitted during the

     civil war (from 1991 to 1995) in the 'former Yugoslavia'. Over 450.000 Serbs have been

     banished, forced to leave their ancient territories, their homes and hearths. Serbian army

     was victorious on the battlefield. Serbs won the war but the Croats get their

     Independent, Serb‑free, state thanks to the treacherous diplomatic policy of the Serbian

     socialist regime and thanks to International Jewry.

     However, we will never forget. There's no surrender. Lika, Banija, Kordun, Slavonia, West

     Srem, Herzegovina etc. are the lands soaked with the Serbian blood... the blood of our

     brethren and forefathers. The places like Jasenovac (English spelling ‑ Yasenovaz) are

     the eternal Serbian shrines and sanctities. Holy Serbian scaffolds and martyrdoms. OUR

     FATHERLAND IS WHERE THE GRAVES OF OUR MARTYRS ARE AND WHERE THE

     SOIL IS SOAKED WITHE BLOOD OF OUR KIN. The graves and ghosts of known and

     unknown martyrs are weeping for revenge. We can hear

     them...                                                                         One day we will set our

     Western provinces free again and will avenge the suffering and deaths of our brothers

     and sisters. That is our promise and our oath! In the name of Father, Son and the Holy

     Spirit. Amen.
