My great grandpa Vojislav Stanijic also fought against Nazis, Ustasha and Italians, he was one of the liberators of Belgrade. He was a first class partisan captain from Uzice. He also lived until 92. Even before his passing he could cut down trees for firewood and he walked 12km daily. His mind was sharp but his body failed him. Slava nasim dedovima nikad ih necemo zaboraviti!!!

Later both Partizans and Cetniks came to recruit them and they decided that his brother will go to Cetniks and he went to Partizans, fought in all battles from Krajina, Neretva, Sutjeska, Drvar to the Syrmia front, he was survived typhus behind enemy lines surviving on onions and water, was war invalid and lived well into his 80s working and walking like much younger men.

I am Serbian. My great grandmother was in a concentration camp as well. My grandfather and his 4 siblings left orphaned. He is still alive today to tell the story.
the reason for her being in a concentration camp was that her husband, who was a drunkard and a dead-beat dad, was joined into the Partizan party (of which he wasn't really a member because he wasn't of sound mind, but someone joined him in his name, and he never was active in the party because he was just drinking every day)...so they took her to the camp and my grandpa and his siblings were left to fend for themselves...In their village, women and children prior to all of the ruccus, were locked inside a school and burnt alive. Luckily, a lot of them managed to escape to the nearby forests... I have also met his siblings who passed away years ago...my grandpa is 95 now. He is a stern, stoic person whose life was shaped by trauma...I always wonder if he'd be a different person had it not been for the war...if he'd be happier...The issue with Serbian people is that we by nature fight negativity with sarcasm and we don't like to complain...it's honestly sad because then our sorrows are deemed as not valid compared to others...but we have suffered...we still do...I even recently realized I have ptsd from the 1999 bombing...I wasn't even aware
@@Turul___ We will never know whether he is lying or not, but Jasenovac and his victims are facts. If it didn't affect him, it affected hundreds of thousands of others.
My grandfather was murdered there. Thank you for doing this video. I really don't have a stomach to watch even though you probably did not put any horrifying shots
As a Croatian I would like to thank you for making this video. The video and information itself is correct, I would just like that you added the fact that 50000 ethnic croatians who oposed ustase were also among the victims.

Living in a first world nation allows you to think that evil like this doesn't still exist but it never left. Somewhere in the world something horribly unspeakable is unfolding.
that evil is because croatia was puppet state for many monarchies and many empires, was under the boot for long time, so once they got on foot, they went brutal, retribution is sick thing
Idk why you felt the need to contribute this but If those are the only 2 groups that pop into your head then you should probably do some more reading. Both groups had it relatively good in comparison to countless other peoples/groups throughout history. Both are far removed from the treatment you know them for anyway. African-Arabs slaves had it hundreds of times worse then ANY American Slave. Being sold by their own people to another who would castrate them before the age of 15, killing 6 out of every 10 in the process before marching them back to Arab countries where more died during the journey. Native American culture had them killing and scalping each-other long before any white men appeared on their shores. Even after they were conquered they still had a place to live, they were not pushed into the seas, they were not removed to the history books. How many cultures have been extinguished? How many people were crucified and left to die over the course of days by the romans? How many people populated the forests Vlad the Impaler erected? How long did each of those people survive? How many Chinese/Koreans were infected with diseases worse then small pox by the Japanese Unit 731? Your comment equates to shouting "hitler" when faced with making a list of dictators.
41 members of my family were murdered in this very place. My poor dad used to cry every once in a while thinking about his brother Nico, thankfully I found this information out after he passed, I think had he known it would have crushed him. He often wondered what happened to his little brother, as the last time he saw him was when he went off to war. Imagine wondering what happened to your brother for pretty much your whole life, he heard rumors that he had died, which made it even worse, because he didn't know where or even if he was buried properly. I hope the reunion he and his family had was glorious.😢
One does not have to be a non-German to loose family members; I’m German-and was NOT part of the war-lost all my family members ALL do to the bombing of Dresden after the war by the US. Loosing family is painful no matter who is the culprit.
I was a tourleader from The Netherlands and in mine programm was to visit Jasenovac. I did not no what it was, until i saw it. i went in with my people and us was told to see a movie about the history of the camp. My people run crying out the cinema. It was to brutal and full of terror. i hope i never see that movie again. Its now for me 35 years ago and still think and sometimes i cry about what i saw. Let this never be forgotten.
"44 months in Jasenovac" by Egon Berger, a Croatian Jew, captures the gory depths of cruelty that occured in Jasenovac. It's quite disturbing but definitely worth the read. Generally, I think shedding light on human cruelty is an important part of staying vigilant when discussing historical events such as WWII. It is too often that one sees debates about the history of war and conflict turn in to a clash of numbers. The case with Jasenovac is a prime example. Some try to dismiss the savagery that took place in NDH camps by reducing the number of victims as if reducing it from 400 k to 40 k somehow changes the intensity of the killings that happened there.
@@urosmilic5055 he survived 44 month in death camp..??!! 😐😐very nice ..jew survived brutal ustasha amost 4 years ..how???

@@MaxMax-zg9vn I suggest you read the book and judge by yourself. As you well know, surviving concetration camps during ww2, although the odds are fully stacked against you, is a fortunate reality, and one can find numerous survivors who were lucky enough to push through the odds by whatever means. Otherwise there would be no one to tell the story from a first person perspective. In fact, the only reason you're reading my comment is due to tue fact that my grandfather somehow made it throug the Nazi school shooting in Kragujevac, endured through a labour camp in Austria, afterwards escaped the said camp in mid winter and made it back to Slovenia to join the Partisan movement - all within a three year period. Those are unimaginable odds from my perspective but somehow I still get to reply to your comment.
@@urosmilic5055 According to Serbian and Croatian demographers, Bogoljub Kocovic and Vladimir Zerjavic, about 300 000 Serbs were killed or died from epidemics in all ISC (NDH), so, there can't be 400 thousands killed in Jasenovac, no way. The most accepted number of killed civilians in Jasenovac, all nationalities, is about 83.000, from which about 47.000 Serbs. It is very bad that some Serbian nationalists still want to use much bigger numbers like 700.000 killed in Jasenovac, in order to blame all Croat nation for mass killings. And at the same time they always deny Milosevic's brutal agression on Croatia and killings of 8.000 Croat civilians in 1991. from which 50% womern and children.
@@thadayu5639 you're playing a number's game, and you thereby overlook the point I was making in my initial comment. So 83 K is a reasonble number for you as I understand, ok. And judging by your argument about the Serbian nationalist agenda, one can only blame the U regime for mass killings if the number was higher than 47 K or 300 K even, fine. So by your standard, 47 K, is not a mass killing? That I see as beyond problematic. But coming back to my point, even if the number was 83 K of Jasenovac victims in total, we are talking about, to name a few techniques the Ustaša would use, death by way of gutting, pumelling, bludgening, starvation, burning the captives alive, women and children included - meaning they would not use gas as the Nazis did ... stomping and impailing as was mentioned in the video - this they did mostly to children. Egon Berger even mentions in his memoirs how they would keep some body parts as souvenirs, mostly eyes, as mentioned in the video, but also noses and ears. Theres a part in which he describes how they gave some of those to their own children to keep - Egon mentions this latter part in relation to a Serbian Orthodox priest that was mutilated on a particular day. All in all, quite a brutal and twisted regime that embodies the gore of a grade A horror movie tbh.
Yes, divide and conquer. Absolutely what we are seeing in our world today. The ones doing this are still in the dividing stage: black-white, left-right, etc etc etc.
Correction: Prince Paul was not pro German and was very much an Anglophile. He was constantly engaged in discussions with army staff about the possibility of fighting in the war but all possibilities were looking grim. Czechoslovakia was handed over to the Germans, France fell, the neighbouring countries joined the pact. Kingdom of Yugoslavia was out gunned and surrounded. It simply could not survive should it enter the war. Germany wanted to move it's troops through the country in order to invade Greece but Paul couldn't allow it as his wife was Greek and many Serbs including Paul were Eastern Orthodox and it would have been seen as an ultimate act of betrayal of those they came to call their closest friend. Some compromises were achieved during the negotiations and Yugoslavia joined the pact as more of a material member. But days later Paul was ousted from power and exiled. Peter the II declared legal age to assume the throne. But the country still attempted to continue talks with Germany in order to avoid war. Sadly we all know what happened next.
And the Germans didn't even want to invade Greece, it delayed the invasion of the USSR. Mussolini though wanted his own glory so he invaded Greece from Albania and found himself in trouble as the Greeks actually started to push them back. The Germans were very conferenced that the Greeks and British would ally and it would create a southern front for the Allies. So they had to move in and take greece before the british moved in. This meant they had to move through Yugoslavia.

@@kavbojctinko4131 My grandmother was held there too, but was released upon an intervention from a Domobran neighbor.

She never wanted to talk about Jasenovac, she was utterly ashamed of what she saw there. She never went back to Croatia, ever.
Wow thank god, and what a miraculous woman. I’m glad she was able to. Every precious life counts. The living, the deceased.

My mother was imprisoned there as a 7-years-old-girl, together with my grandmother and her two young sisters (my aunts). Only my mother survived, since one of her relatives managed to purchase her out of Jasenovac with gold. We Serbs remember everything. Our children and their children and their descendants will always remember. FOREVER.

I’ve heard testimonies of some individuals whose entire families were wiped out by the ustase forces when they entered Prijedor, Banja Luka and the surrounding areas. My great grandfather narrowly escaped them and fled deep into the Manjaca mountain to join the resistance units. In case he didn’t, well, maybe I wouldn’t even write this comment.

Croatians are not Ustasa, just like Germans are not Nazis. We should all collectively stop living in the past (counts for what the Serbs did to Croats and Bosniaks in the 90s as well for example) and look forward to build a future together with our neighbours and brothers, instead of teaching hate to our new generations..
@@klodd5328 I think you didnʼt get my point. It is the past we learn from in order to not repeat it in the future. Iʼm not your type of a Serb who will look after our victims only.

@@ZahdShah They were gauging eyes to kids,cutting their ears or genitals. They had competitions in who can slaughters more Serbs in shortest time thus having Srbosek knife (Serbcutter) They would deprave prisoners of food for long time and then let them fight to death for a loaf of bread. I can tell alot more but that pretty much sums up the sadistic nature of Croats and their deeply rooted hate towards Serbians. Funnily enough after WW2 they happily joined us in Yugoslavia and even more funny is that today they say none of this happened. Even tho we still have living survivors who witnessed it all. Lovely people those Croats! :)
From my understanding, basically the difference between a camp like Jasenovac and other more mainstream historical camps is that Jasenovac was undermanaged and had bad logistics creating a horrific dynamic between guards and prisoners. Prisoners were basically like chickens in a pen and guards were wolves with a never ending hunger. Just sloppily creating destruction and chaos based on mood swing. All pow camps have bad logistics, but when things really aren't planned out it becomes hell on Earth like in Jasenovac and other lesser known and poorly managed war camps throughout history.
@@laughattack1204 Your understanding is not good. This camp was planned for extermination of non-Croats(Serbs, Jewish, Romani...). Serbs were the main target. They even invented special weapon for cutting throats(google the Serb-cutter), and they had competitions in executions of prisoners. Also, they had special section of the camp for children(only one known in history so far). That is the reason why i am not going to share any details of stories i know, because of sick people that enjoy the horror gore, and other people as yourself that diminish the atrocities without researching first. They had a plan of extermination, and the camp was very well managed for that purpose.
Second wife of my great-grandfather had 4 children, a Serbian woman. In spring 1942, in village near Prijedor city, all 4 children were brutally killed on her eyes by Ustashe Croat soldiers. Baby was taken from her arms and stick to bayonet. Most of people never made it to concentration camp, they were usually slaughtered in their villages (e.g. village Prebilovci). She survived a war, and lived and died in Belgrade after the war. She was deeply respected by our family.
Let's not talk about what serbian people were doing to croats like never forget Vukovar. they would slit pregnant woman open and put cat inside and stitch they would hang our soldiers alive 100m from our people point of view they would kill the childrens with mothers and fathers and many more genocids that will never be forgotten i can tell you much more stories from which i've heard from a dude that survived everything and to this day he is saying that if he knew for what was he fighting he would never be in that spot for a minute of his life its funny that i hear stories from serbs that croatia did the most genocids but no one comments that croats were just defending the motherland. yeah ustase did kill while cetnici aka serbs were slaughtering a mankind.
My grandma’s family was from Prebilovci. 50 family members from her mother side were either murdered on site or have been thrown in pits, which the Croats blew up in the last Yugoslavian war. I’ve heard all these stories as a little child and i don’t really know how to cope with it
@@MrDarknessDroa In Prebilovcy they killed 826 Serbs (out of 994). In school of Prebilovci they slaughtered 120 children, first they raped a teacher, a 32-old woman, by the name Stana Arnaut. They raped her in-font of children, and they cut her with knives, before starting to cut Serbian children.... they cut many heads and ordered them in piles in tables. In many cases intestines were out and spread around class rooms. While they were slaughtering, a band of Gypsy Orchestra musicians was playing....they were brought in force and ordered to play music. After the massacre Italian general Aleksandro Luzano experienced terrible shock from the site and stench in school, a monstrosity and bestiality unknown to humans..... he then wrote a letter to Mussolini....
Pretty solid, but I have to make couple of small corrections. As someone already noticed in the comments-prince Paul was actually a staunch anglophile, and was forced to negotiate with Third Reich only after the fall of France and after he was rebuffed when he asked Britain for help. Also, while Latin script is the only official script in Croatia-older, better educated generations can understand Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic (not Russian, but quite different version of the script btw), but seldom want's to use it, sometimes pretending they don't understand it. Serbs however use both scripts equally, and certainly can and do use Latin script. Ante Pavelic didn't just die in Spain. He first fled, through Catholic church rat channels to Argentina, where in 1957. he was asassinated by Blagoje Jovovic, ex-JVuO member acting as a lone wolf avenger. He was severely wounded, and although not dying on the spot, he was transferred to Spain for medical treatment, but died there two years later due to medical complications.
We don't pretend that we don't know cyrrilic letters. We just didn't have it lectured long enough in elementary scholl and I can read because I was good at schol but many adults don't remember it. I can't read handwritten letters. And I can't write it. We didn't use iz so we lost it. And later generations even didn't learn cyrrilic letters any more. We don't use it. In middle ages and later we used it regularly. So that is why "we pretend".
Serbs do not use the Russian Cyrillic. they have their own. and they also use Latin script even more (to the point that some are now concerned that Cyrillic may become extinct). and it's the same as the one used by the Croats - which is different from the Latin used in the West.
@milamila1123 That's neither here nor there. I was just trying to point out the mistakes made in this video about the scripts used by the Croats and the Serbs. Maybe I should've left out the "save the Cyrilic" movement out of it.
@milamila1123 all in all this video is poorly researched and badly put together. the guy is using photos from WW1 to illustrate ustaše crimes. as if there weren't enough genuine evidence.
Lazar Kosanović, a descendant of Nikola Tesla, an American-Serbian scientist is one of the last survivors of the Ustasha death camps in the NDH. Lazar Kosanović, speaks on behalf of 91 members of the Tesla family who were brutally murdered in the Independent State of Croatia, 14 of them in Jasenovac. While the Serbs were put in the position of having to defend the truth about the Serbian origin of the great scientist, some tried before that to hide his roots in oblivion. In 1941, the Ustashas of the NDH killed all the Serbian population in Smiljan, the birthplace of Nikola Tesla, as well as in the surrounding Serbian villages. Then they demolished Nikola Tesla's birthplace as well as the temple where his father Milutin Tesla, an Orthodox priest and the first religious teacher in Gospić, served, says Kosanović and tells us to remember that every time we hear or read that Croats claim that Nikola Tesla is a Croat. .
For as long as Nazi allies don't denounce the crimes their countries committed during WWII (as Germans did) the very same things can happen again and again. Germany was not alone in this carnage.
exactly, totalitarian epoch was a narcissistic expansion of a divinity called SOCIETY; it created a terrorist State everywhere; Society hates, as the centre of predatory narcissism, the traditional classes, urban and peasant as well; Spain was the first and most perfect case of total destruction of traditional peasant people after a fake militar rising.

My father's mother was arrested by the Croats at the Vinkovci train station for trying to give Greek Jews water. The Greeks were being transported to death camps when their train made a stop at my grandmother's town. The only thing that saved her from immediate execution was the fact she was an American citizen and passport holder. She was sent to prison for 6 months. My mother's grandmother was sent to a Croat/Ustashe camp for allegedly "spying" on Italian soldiers at a cafe in 1942. She was an Argentine of Serbian ancestry and spoke Spanish/Serbian. The Italians handed her over to the Croats who in turn sent her to a camp where she suffered a stroke.
I'm so sorry that this happened that your family had to go through that but people pretend like they don't know and the ones here in the comments sections are trying to say no Croatians didn't do that all yes they did they are some of the worst worst known in history they were worse than nazis God bless you and the rest of your family❤

very happy this is getting some attention. my family was in this concentration camp and it left deep lasting wounds that could potentially have been better managed with as time went on if it weren't for the fact that these evils were/have been largely forgotten or willfully ignored.
I knew it was bad in Yugoslavia during the war but not like this. I had no idea. It seems it’s basically a historical footnote compared to the Holocaust.
Should the West uncritically rely on war history history written by communists without doing scientific excavations? Tito was as bloodthirsty a dictator as Stalin. Partisans sat quietly in Yugoslavia for 2 years and did not fight fascists and Nazis, only when Hitler broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, also called the Hitler-Stalin Pact, actually the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, and attacked the Soviet Union then they waited the instructions from Moscow. How could this happen in Jasenovac when 13 ethnic Serbs were Ustasha generals in the NDH and loyal throughout the Second World War, would they allow this against their own people? How could this happen when the Serbian Prime Minister Milan Nedic who collaborated with the Nazis 1941-1944 made an agreement with Berlin to exchange all the Jews in Sebia for Serbs in the region who were to be moved home to Serbia in safety, which led to Belgrade in Serbia becoming the first Jew-free capital in Europe and later Serbia was also declared to be Jew-free. Milan Nedic had contact with Pavelic in Zagreb demanded that Serbs have all rights in the NDH like all other citizens plus rights to their own religion. 13 ethnic Serbs-Ustasha generals in NDH: Milan Uzelac (1867-1953), Mihajlo Lukić (1866-1961), Đuro Gruić (1887-1945), Đuro Dragičević (1890-1980), Fedor Dragojlov (1881-1961), Dušan Palčić (1881-1963), Milan Desović (1895-1960), Jovan Iskrić (1884-1963), Zvonimir Stimaković (1891-1974), Lavoslav Milić (1890-1964), Miroslav Opačić (1881-?) and Jovan Pribić (1885-?) Historian from Bulagria claim that Jasenovac was a labor camp with 10 barracks and very few workers lost their lives, where a few were killed, during the Second World War, and that the communists wrote alternative history after the war. Historian from Montenegro claim that there were more Serbs right after the Second World War, compared to when the war started according to statistics.
My last name of my family was all wiped out, around 100+ members of the large family and relatives, only my grand grand father survived because he was in the army to fight them, he even wrote a book about a whole thing and everywhere he has been to.
I cannot fathom to imagine what my Serbian great grandfather went through before he came to Brazil… 😢 and when he got here, he got married with my Italian great grandmother that also came to Brazil after the war. It’s crazy thinking about this. 🤯
To se vjerojatno odnosilo na službeno pismo u zemlji. Zanimljivo mi je kako stranci pokušavaju shvatiti mržnju između naših naroda, ali nekako mi to djeluje nemoguće za nekoga tko nije rođen na ovim prostorima.
Yes! I remember Yugoslavia as a very modern country in the 1970s and 80s when Kamerat Tito was president. Not a democracy, but not a communist land either. Greetings from Norway :)
@larslevinberget9558 I know of what you speak of; my family visited Europe and, crossing from Romania into Yugoslavia in 1973, I felt I was back in civilization, the contrasts were that great
Prior to that he worked as a personal security agent for General Perón when he was president. Perón liked to surround himself with nazis, while at the same time trying to build good ties with the local jews. You can guess I'm not fond of him or his party.
Not true, he was not in any way "Yugoslavian", Blagoje Jovovic was Serb 100% . In fact Yugoslavians wanted him killed after he shot Pavelic. He was a officer of the Serbian royal army. Communists tried luring him to Belgrade to kill him, but it failed. He never went to communist occupied Serbia. There where numerous croat ustasa in communists after Tito enabled nazes to trade uniforms and "become" communists and continue to kill Serbs.
He wasn't a yugoslav secret agent. He was a Serbian nationalist rogue shooter. Socialist Yugoslavia was very much pro-Croat and most of it's political leadership was Croatian.
Cyrillic is not a Russian script, but Serbian and Bulgarian, which has been used in the Orthodox churches of the Balkans since the 7th century. In contrast to the Vatican, which forbade the Slavs to write in their own language, and through the Latin language used in the Roman Catholic Church, carried out the assimilation of the Slavs into Germans, Hungarians, or Italians. There is no central church in Orthodoxy, but there are local churches (Serbian Orthodox Church, Bulgarian, Romanian), in which church services were conducted in local languages, and books were written (and later printed) using the Glagolitic and later the Cyrillic script.
Cirilic is Slav, and other latin signs are invented later. See the Vincha signs, do the lookalike "latin" ?? or more Cirilic? see them, 15,000 years ago.
@@dimitaryotov946 It is Not invented. It is comming on surface after tens of millions years, after everything been destroyed and any civilisation (from universe here) vanished by disappearing "only one element". That element is slowly recovering, and civilisation is rebuilding from beginning. So, first - cyrilic and before cirilic been even billions years ago. But, I've been growing partly in Bulgaria and I have some roots, aslo from Serbo-Croatians, so... with all respect, we are rebuilding what had been.
@@asmbeats5369 It was invented in Bulgaria, but the Serbs were first to implement it. It was called "alphabet for Moravian Slavs" by the Morava river in Serbia.
Very little people talk about this. Thank you brother for sharing this❤️. People in Croatia even deny this happened nowdays and even some justify it...
Just a suggestion for whoever did the audio on this, please don't put a sound track that is a thumping sound every 3 seconds it gets annoying fast, and it is ruining the video tbh
People think that Auschwitz was the worst camp... No, it wasn't. It's just the most well known. Apart from concentration camps, there were also death camps, like Treblinka, or camps in which prisoners remembered Auschwitz as a relatively 'good' place to survive, like Mauthausen or Gusen in Austria.
Jasenovac by american holocaust memorial said 70-90,000 were killed. Auschwitz death toll was 1,1 million. It was the biggest, most brutal camp ever made. Stop lying. U dont know wtf ur talking about.
I am Croatian. I have not lived there for a long time but it's funny I learn more about the war through youtube videos than I was ever taught growing up there
This is such an underreported and unknown horrific chapter of WW2. The brick works, the serb cutter, the hammers, it literally sounds like a WAY over the top B-grade horror film, but it's true... Of course it freaked the SS out, this is a level of depravity that even the most barbaric of nazi death camps didn't descend to... No wonder Tito kept a lid on all this.
Tito was a Croatian that did in essence end what his people did start with different methods To understand the reality of today you have to learn about the past Tito was for the Serbs what our regimes are for us today ..what our "whyte lib-erals" are ..that have been for the serbs the "jugoslavs"
My main rationale for Tito keeping a lid on this is two fold. First to avoid international condemnation and any kind of further association of the then newly-created Yugoslavia and the horrors of the Ustase war crimes. Secondly, the suppression of this history was political in nature. Tito was bringing a very complex and historically belligerent group of people and nationalities together in one unitary state under the banners of communism and pan-southern Slav unity. It would be difficult to be one collective proletariat as well as a unified "Land of The Southern Slavs", (which is the literal translation of Yugoslavia) if the wounds of genocide, ethnic cleansing and total war were allowed to fester and continue to cause conflict. These are just my own musings on the topic. There are a lot of aspects of Balkan history that I don't know and I don't claim to be any kind of expert. From my own perspective, I have a lot of respect for Tito and what he was able to accomplish in the Yugoslavia that he built. His navigation of the Cold War in a basically non-aligned way, his handling of Stalin and his assassination attempts, and the things he was able to do and achieve for his country are deserving of that respect in my view. Not to mention that he fought fascism and came out on top. Yugoslavia is basically the only country that liberated themselves from fascism in WW2. Much respect for that too.
most germans even those of army personnel got 0 ahnung about whats going on in those camps... they told them that they are relocating jews and minorities...
Nazis werent scared of it thoo Its just a eye grabbing title to make you click and watch it, becouse ypu start wandering what it is of it was worse then nazis. But then yorealizese it's just a spicy headline and that's it.
It is important to emphasize that around 1100 Catholic priests participated or supported Ustashe.. Vatican knew about the extermination of Serbs, Jews and Roma.. No apology, no shame till today..
Jasenovac is not the only death camp in Croatia. Croatian nazi called 'ustasha' had many more. Even hardcore SS soldiers vomited when they saw war crimes commited on civilians, mostly Serbs, Jews and Gipsies. The truly horrifying fact is that 'ustasha nazi movement' is still popular in modern day Croatia! They have parades where they march and salute HH. They wear black shirts with 'U' symbol that represents Croatian nazi. They also have a singer nicknamed Thompson who sings about the murder of serbs and other non-croats and glorifies ethnic cleansing commited with the help of US and NATO. Ustasha movement was active during 90s Balkan wars, keeping their nazi ideology and symbolism. This time Canadian soldiers were the ones vomiting (there is an interview on YT even). The only thing that puzzles me even today is... Why the hell EU and the rest of the collective west accepted them as their own, knowing who they are and what they did. If you want unbiased pespective on this subject, go look for the book named 'Jasenovac, the Aushwitz of Balkans' by Gideon Greif, researcher at Simon Visenthal Institute for war crimes.
As a reminder: Serbian state policy in the 1990s and now is to exterminate all non-serbs from balkans and turn yugoslavia into a ethnic clear greater serbia were only serbs are allowed to live (read the SANU-Documents) Serbs ethnic cleansed 200.000 croats and other non-serbs from croatia Serbs ethnic cleansed 800.000 bosniak and croatian civilians from bosnia and rpd over 50.000 underaged bosniak and croatian girls in children rp camps in front of there parents... Never forget srebrenica, sarajevo, prijedor, kozarac, foca, visegrad, bihac, zvornik, bijeljina, posavina etc. Last but not least serbs ethnic cleansed 1.000.000 albanians from kosova...and rpd over 20.000 albanian girls up to 7(!) years in front of there parents
@@SpaceXfan2005 you mean like serbs denying there war crimes in srebrenica any many other bosnian, croatian and kosovarian towns... Btw. Serbs had several camps for children in rakovica manastir near belgrade
You are right,unfortunately! The revisionism has been active in Croatia nowadays,and the Catholic Church actively supports it. I'm desolate seeing all this happening in the country that officially is my country,but I don't feel it really is 😢
Not true at all🤬 read some books Ante Pavelić was nacionalist extremist and he sould half Croatia to get NDH( Nezavisna Država Hrvatska) he support Hitler and Pope never but never support Hitler or his politics he even has difficult decision to help on attentat on Hitler but that dud not go vell
You have a like from me. It is hard to imagine but Pavelić had a support that made it possible to him to do what he have done. The NDH was a collaborational state to the Germany. Ustaše and german nazis was even fought in Staljingrad together.
WoW 😳 When I was 16yrs my S.O was from Croatia. I remember the Bosnian war breakout & how desperate my SO's mum was to get back to see her very ill father. It was disturbing to hear of atrocities like ppl who had been neighbours since childhood & suddenly the boys ràP3d the next door girls. I was young and didn't fully comprehend what all these people had lived through. May those sweet innocent peoples RIP 🕊️💞🕊️🙏🏼
Hi that was war 1991 whan Serbian ( Yougoslavian) army didnt accept Croatian and Bosnian sepparation.Yougoslavian army was Serbian people moustly I was there my father was in war my uncle too my other uncle is killed
UN, there were CONCENTRATION CAMPS in Bosina and United Nation vehicles were driving PASSED THEM. There are NO excuses for this . The UN must have known, they were OUTSIDE the gates, SHAME on the UN
It disgusts me even more that people refuse to listen to history like this. Just look at what's going on in Israel. Most of the world is cheering that a country is being destroyed because they hate Jews. 70 years after WW2, nothing has changed and Hitler's ideas still live on. That's why I have no hope for humanity and do not believe in "god."
My grandfather, a communist prisoner, was forced in Jasenovac to burry bodies which were often alive. He wasn’t killed because he’s father has fought in Austria-Hungary army in Carpathian WW1. My grandmother was 5 when her family was taken to Jasenovac. Her father was burnt alive in front of the family, tight to a tree. My grandmother was moved after few years to be a slave in a local family farm. After the war, she’d never close her eyes when asleep. Children in Jasenovac would stare all night long into doors because when doors open someone would be taken away and vanish for ever. It’s worth mentioning that quisling state of Serbia did nothing to stop genocide of Serbs in Jasenovac (Croatia). No one did, like the West did nothing to stop Holocaust. Not even done one single diversion. Holocaust and Jassnovac was stoped as byproduct of Russian/Soviets victory over Germany.
The West did nothing to stop the holocaust? What do you think the war was about? Millions of soldiers from the west died trying to stop it. You ungrateful sod.
i remember watching a documentary about this years ago where they talked about how everyday they would line people up in a very long line and the guards would walk down the line with knives and stab them one by one. there was also a starvation house where they would lock a group of people in a house at the camp until they all starved to death and sometimes they let the last surviving person out if i remember correctly. they would eat the rats that were feeding off the bodies until they became hungry enough to eat the bodies themselves and they would go mad and kill eachother. horrible
What the hell is "Cyrillic alphabet of the Russian Orthodox church"? The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet differs from the Russian one and the Cyrillic is not a Russian invention, it was created in Bulgaria in the 9th century.
In Serbia, both letters are equal, they are taught in schools and the population knows how to read both Cyrillic and Latin. It is only prescribed that government documents be written in Cyrillic, but your personal choice is the letter you will use.
I´m from Serbia but I live in Vienna, Austria and worked as a manager for 24/7 care for the elderly. Most women who worked in those regions I was responsible for, were from Croatia and I have to say, 99% were wonderful, caring, honest and hardworking women. We have basically the same language (some words are different), we use the latin AND cyrillic writing (we have our own, not the russian). Most people in former Yugoslavia are still traumatised by the past wars and just want peace. Unfortunatly there are still those who spread the nazi ideology. When it comes to Jasenovac you´re right, we still dont know how many people died exactly BUT you can be sure the number is a whole lot more than 500 000. There are still undiscovered mass graves. People have to understand that it is important to talk about the past and what EXACTLY happend, it is not about blaming today´s generation, but to prevent at all costs from ever happening again! Thank you so very much for making this video!
How can 500 000 people have died in Jasenovac if in all NDH from 1941 to 1945, died 300.000 Serbs, according to Serbian and Croat demographers (moreover, many of them died as soldiers, with arms, and many - from epidemics)?
Excellent summary of history. The only thing that is not true is that most Serbs cannot or do not want to use the Latin alphabet. Serbs know both very well and many write in Latin.
@@mezmerizer9422upravo tako, mene je sram ko hrvata da je ovih 4 godine dio nase povijesti, sram koji nikad necemo isprat, ali kao sto si rekao mozemo mi mladi dat svoj doprinos da se ne ponovi i da se zivi u miru i ljubavi
I know of situations where a mother would be raped in front of her husband and children. The husband and children being forced to watch. The woman would then be tied to a chair and her family murdered in front of her and if she gad a baby the baby put into the oven alive and the oven turned on. The mother being unable to stop them or rescue the baby. Absolutely sickening 😢
The Cyrillic alphabet isn't a Russian alphabet, it was developed firstly by Kiril and Metodij who were actually Macedonians from Solun (today known as Thessaloniki). It was made to help educate and spread literacy to the Slavic people living in that area, and it wasn't called Cyrillic alphabet but Glagolitic at first. After their death, their students Kliment and Naum from Ohrid refined the alphabet and spreed it thorough Eastern Europe.
Cyrillic alphabet was created in Preslav literary school, beacuse Preslav scholars were much more dependent upon Greek models and quickly abandoned the Glagolitic scripts in favor of an adaptation of the Greek uncial to the needs of Slavic. You can compare Cyrillic and Greek alphabet and you can see the similarities. The 2 brothers were born in Thessaloniki in the Byzantime empire. They were half Greek, half Slavic. They created Glagolitic alphabet which is very different from the Cyrillic alphabet. They werent North Macedonians, neither Serbians, nor Bulgarians, they were just half Slavic.
Sadly, there was worse people there, catholic priest mentioned in the video who killed kids in schools on regular basis, and his followers who "decioated" the school for hollyday with children intestines, he was in the church as a priest in the morning and killing people in the afternoon in Jasenovac. His last name mentioned in this vudeo, Majstorovic, was actualy his nickname given to him by leaders if Jasenovac camp for being master of what he did, killing people as sadisticly as he could think of.
This is where the human person can go when they do not have any accountability to their Creator. People do not consider what the total absence of God really means, neither do they consider the existence of a being pitted against God, himself. Satan, in other words, who pits himself against God's creation and thinks he can control however he so desires. No "ethics"; afterall, where did ethics come from??. There is a judgment from God, himself- it will be bad and forever!!
@@randibass7558The Ustaše were really big into Christianity. The Nazis were also Christians, used Christian symbolism and although their ultimate long term goal was to replace Christianity with a reformed version of Germanic Paganism, calling them godless is far from truth. Oh, and the Japanese Imperial Aid Association although obviously not Christian in any way, were also deeply spiritual and religious.
my grandad and his family were ethnic Serbs living in a Serbian village in Slavonski brod. Both of his older brothers fought in the ww2, his oldest brother was wounded at the battle of Neretva. My grandad was around 4 to 5 years old at the time of the war and he and his mother were captured and moved to a concentration camp, he never spoke about the camp and his experience there, except when he showed his disdain for catholic priests and catholic church in general. He never told us where he was locked up but given some of the knowledge I gained he was either in Sisak or Stara Gradiska
I am Indonesian muslim. Is that true the cruelty like the head getting cut like that? I am crying imagine how can they cope like that. I am grateful with the life I have right now. May Allah protect my family and me from evil people like that
And yet just a few months ago, a group of 1500, followers of the same ideology as yours did exactly the same, or worse, showing that hatred against Jews is still kicking...
@@labouraredangerous Part of evil is being too quick to be perceiving evil everywhere. When you think people are "evil" you think that justifies harming them. The nazis thought Jews were evil in the same way you think Muslims are evil. Most attrocities are committed by people who believe they are fighting "evil".
It's interesting to note also the accounts of basically throwing children into pits to starve to death. I don't know why this isn't discussed more. These people didn't just gas, it was close combat and incredibly brutal. Too often we focus on later effects and blame people who were the victims of this. And far too few care or have even heard about it.
I had a wonderful professor of History at Kent State. Dr. Edward Gobetz. He was from Slovenia. Lived there during WWII. He told us about some very horrific things that he witnessed. 😮😢
Dr Edi Gobetz was a true gentleman and scholar whom I was truly honoured to meet and interview back in the 90s when he visited Australia. May he rest in peace! Naj počiva v Božjem miru! ❤️🇸🇮🙏
@madness8556 Yes he was. I interviewed and audio-recorded him for an "Oral History" project for a different class, after I'd had him for his class. It was a wonderful experience and listening to him tell his story was both sorrowful and magical at the same time. He was just so full of love and zest for life! I wish I could channel just 25% of what he had. I know everyone in his world was blessed for having known him. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane! 🙏
"We dive into history's darkest chapters because they serve as poignant warnings of the dire outcomes of passivity and silence, encouraging us to confront injustice." Bravo!! We need to remember that evil thrives when good men stay silent. Thank you for these videos!!
My grandma spoke about Dachau and so many other things. Never forget our ancestors struggle and sacrifices. Evil is real we need to unite against it before we face another world war over religion.
At least 700,000 Serbs were killed by Croatian Ustasha during WWII. But the tragedy of the Serbian people does not end there. In the post-war period, the remaining Serbs in today's Croatia (over 500,000) were ethnically cleansed by Croats from their centuries-old hearths during the 1990s with the consent and support of Western political and military centers. Hermann Neubacher, Austrian Nazi and special German envoy for the Balkans in World War II, writes in his book "Memoirs": "The recipe for the Orthodox, which was received by the Ustasha leader and the leader of the NDH, Ante Pavelić, reminds us of the bloodiest religious wars: "A third must become Catholic, one-third must leave the country, and one-third must die. The last point of the program has been implemented. When the Ustasha leaders talk about the slaughter of a million Orthodox Serbs - including babies, children, women and the elderly, it is, in my opinion, exaggeration and self-aggrandizement. Based on the reports that have reached me, I estimate that the number of innocent, unarmed, slaughtered Serbs is around 750,000".
hello @ADayInHistoryOfficial thank you for this channel. I think it's super important to not let forget these war crimes and help people to be aware that none of these horrors will happen again.
I feel like stan lee once said it best himself. "That boy over there, thats your brother, and that girl over there thats your sister. we are all part of one big family"
Given me deep chills just to listen to what was done. Truly suffering unimaginable parallels. I pray that all of those people young and old are at peace with the Lord Jesus Christ. Beyond horrific.
From my research of the camps and guards, the killings became boring so they continued to find more "exciting" ways to kill. One american cameraman listed just two and after one day of pictures taken, gave up his position due to not being able to sromach it.
If you searched for Serbian sources, you could find how Serbian children were thrown to lions in Sarajevo 1992. and how 43 Serbian children were slaughtered in Vukovar in 1991.
That happens all the time, even at this moment. But it isn't in the front of our eyes, so we dont know who exactly is the todays"Mengele" or "Brother satan".
@@daxx7359 Afcourse we know, it's more than obviouslly. Allways collective West atacks on East. Before10-15 years ago Madlen Al bright said"Russia have to much of goods (gas,oil,water...) ,and they should split with others..." Because of It today is NATO on their border...
Thank you for making this video! People should know that horrors exists so it doesn't happen again. I just would like to say that Croats are denying any of this and they are saying Jasenovac was a work camp. That is a lie. I understand that it is hard to accept what your grandfathers and grandmothers did in war, but denying it you are just spitting more on people that suffered enough. Important part of history that should not be forgotten.
I am a croat, and have never denied the existence of the genocide in jasenovac. Or neither heard a croat saying that the concentration camp was only a work camp or other things.
I am Croat and I can only say to stay polite enough that you're not telling truth! Majority of Croats don't deny this horrific death camp and crimes commited there by the ustaše! Every time that you use such a rude generalizations you are making an excuse to deligitimize all members of modern day Croatia and show them as the somehow lesser human beings! And one more important thing to say: many Croats also had their grandparents in antifascist Tito's partizans! And Josip Broz Tito himself - leader of the most organized antifasicist movent in Europe was Croat born in village near Croatian capital Zsgreb!
Croats who are denying this are the ones who didn’t have family in italian camps. My great great grandfather who was a communist from Croatia had his wife and kids burned by Italians and was deported to a camp. Later on he was on the list in Jasenovac. The chetniks and ustashas used to tell Italians who was a communist. They burned whole villages, r@ped women and tortured men with the help of both armies. Countless ditches full of people are in close proximity to my village, created by all 3 armies.
Despicable that this occurred only a mere 80 years ago. Filipovic was among several Franciscan priests which is astounding -- they would actually hold Mass and then round up the congregation and execute them -- they played games with the prisoners, fooling them to believe they were being cared for at clinics and then laughed as they stabbed them -- and, he had the audacity (and they allowed him) to wear his religious cleric robe at his hanging.
I was part of a fast reaction team that would UN troops out if they got in trouble in 95. They were supposed to be buffers between combatants and refugees. I have never understood the conflict. I can't say it now makes sense, there is no explanation that will ever make the brutality that took place there make sense, but at least this video gave me a historical perspective.
My great grandfather was killed by Ustase in WW2, but he did not end up in death camp, he was slaughtered and then droped into some pit, his bones are still there...
Can I just...the sound used for this video is so bad. That constant thump thump is just taking me away from whatever you were saying. Maybe not use that next time?
The scariest thing to shock you even more beyond everything else will be when you find out who was the manager of that camp. World might change after that...
My family came to America from Yugoslavia during this time period. I just came across this video because I was watching your other WWII content and I am surprised how much I learned about the background of these countries not just WWII stuff. Very cool.
It beggers belief that there are people that could do such horrific things to another simply because of them being a different race. How could they torture children, women and men that way. Human beings can be so cruel, yet others the complete opposite. I truly wish we could all live in peace. My heart breaks 💔 for all those who suffered and were killed. Why is there such evil in the world. 😢
What other race are you talking about? 90% of Croatians are converted from Serbian population some 200-300 years ago. Croatia is a Vatican client state. Its the same race.
@@harbinger200Not true, we Croats are decendents of Nephilim 😂😂😂😂. On the other side, true historical and documented, who was Antemurale Christianitatis?
Serbs and Croats are of the same race. The difference is religion, culture and even language to a lesser degree. Serbs have a strong affiliation with the Russians being of the Orthodox religion while Croats answer to the Pope being Catholics. For many years, Serbs were dominated by the Turks of the Ottoman empire while Croats were dominated by the Austrians of the Austrian-Hungarian empire. Croats sought to dominate Serbs through terror and killing during that time period when National Socialism was the dominant political force in Germany and Italy.
We are now watching events as brutal as what happened in Europe in the 30s and 40s. Survivors of the Holocaust have made this comparison. Nonetheless, we are watching and saying, “It’s complicated.” And we are standing by as our representatives support the horror, politically, monetarily, and socially.
Thank you for showing this video! Not many people know about the atrocities of the Ustaša under Ante Pavelić. Jasenovac was a place of utter horror 😱! Unbelievable, unspeakable horror... I went to visit the camp and it's museum. We saw a documentary film that still haunts me to this day! Can you imagine s place that even freaked SS Nazis out??? Never forget history because forgotten it will repeat itself xxx
Serbian monstrosity in Montenegro after WWI, when will Serbia be held accountable? Serbian genocid in Vukovar Croatia, when will Serbia be held accountable? Serbian occupation war in Bulgaria in 1885 and killing of innocent civilians, when will Serbia be held accountable?
You've frequently asked us why we tackle such 'dark' themes. We dive into history's darkest chapters because they serve as poignant warnings of the dire outcomes of passivity and silence, encouraging us to confront injustice. Keep in mind, knowledge is a potent tool
What should our next topic be?
Thank you! Can you do a video on "The Battle of Hue"? Talking about the atrocities committed by the NVA?
And please continue. We have enough "hiding" of history going on around these days.
The British colonization and concentration camps in Kenya
Could you maybe do a video about Gallipoli?
I'd like to see a video about the Lebanese Civil War.
My grandfather fought Nazi and Ustasa and Italian fascists.He was wounded 4 times ,survived and lived to be 92.I am very very proud of my grandfather

My great grandpa Vojislav Stanijic also fought against Nazis, Ustasha and Italians, he was one of the liberators of Belgrade. He was a first class partisan captain from Uzice. He also lived until 92.

the reason for her being in a concentration camp was that her husband, who was a drunkard and a dead-beat dad, was joined into the Partizan party (of which he wasn't really a member because he wasn't of sound mind, but someone joined him in his name, and he never was active in the party because he was just drinking every day)...so they took her to the camp and my grandpa and his siblings were left to fend for themselves...In their village, women and children prior to all of the ruccus, were locked inside a school and burnt alive. Luckily, a lot of them managed to escape to the nearby forests... I have also met his siblings who passed away years ago...my grandpa is 95 now. He is a stern, stoic person whose life was shaped by trauma...I always wonder if he'd be a different person had it not been for the war...if he'd be happier...The issue with Serbian people is that we by nature fight negativity with sarcasm and we don't like to complain...it's honestly sad because then our sorrows are deemed as not valid compared to others...but we have suffered...we still do...I even recently realized I have ptsd from the 1999 bombing...I wasn't even aware

41 members of my family were murdered in this very place.
My poor dad used to cry every once in a while thinking about his brother Nico, thankfully I found this information out after he passed, I think had he known it would have crushed him.
He often wondered what happened to his little brother, as the last time he saw him was when he went off to war.
Imagine wondering what happened to your brother for pretty much your whole life, he heard rumors that he had died, which made it even worse, because he didn't know where or even if he was buried properly.

"44 months in Jasenovac" by Egon Berger, a Croatian Jew, captures the gory depths of cruelty that occured in Jasenovac. It's quite disturbing but definitely worth the read. Generally, I think shedding light on human cruelty is an important part of staying vigilant when discussing historical events such as WWII. It is too often that one sees debates about the history of war and conflict turn in to a clash of numbers. The case with Jasenovac is a prime example. Some try to dismiss the savagery that took place in NDH camps by reducing the number of victims as if reducing it from 400 k to 40 k somehow changes the intensity of the killings that happened there.
Their population was just 30k pre war and still, plus are grassroot, seems like tortured in every region and era.

@@MaxMax-zg9vn I suggest you read the book and judge by yourself. As you well know, surviving concetration camps during ww2, although the odds are fully stacked against you, is a fortunate reality, and one can find numerous survivors who were lucky enough to push through the odds by whatever means. Otherwise there would be no one to tell the story from a first person perspective. In fact, the only reason you're reading my comment is due to tue fact that my grandfather somehow made it throug the Nazi school shooting in Kragujevac, endured through a labour camp in Austria, afterwards escaped the said camp in mid winter and made it back to Slovenia to join the Partisan movement - all within a three year period. Those are unimaginable odds from my perspective but somehow I still get to reply to your comment.
@@urosmilic5055 According to Serbian and Croatian demographers, Bogoljub Kocovic and Vladimir Zerjavic, about 300 000 Serbs were killed or died from epidemics in all ISC (NDH), so, there can't be 400 thousands killed in Jasenovac, no way. The most accepted number of killed civilians in Jasenovac, all nationalities, is about 83.000, from which about 47.000 Serbs. It is very bad that some Serbian nationalists still want to use much bigger numbers like 700.000 killed in Jasenovac, in order to blame all Croat nation for mass killings. And at the same time they always deny Milosevic's brutal agression on Croatia and killings of 8.000 Croat civilians in 1991. from which 50% womern and children.
@@thadayu5639 you're playing a number's game, and you thereby overlook the point I was making in my initial comment. So 83 K is a reasonble number for you as I understand, ok. And judging by your argument about the Serbian nationalist agenda, one can only blame the U regime for mass killings if the number was higher than 47 K or 300 K even, fine. So by your standard, 47 K, is not a mass killing? That I see as beyond problematic. But coming back to my point, even if the number was 83 K of Jasenovac victims in total, we are talking about, to name a few techniques the Ustaša would use, death by way of gutting, pumelling, bludgening, starvation, burning the captives alive, women and children included - meaning they would not use gas as the Nazis did ... stomping and impailing as was mentioned in the video - this they did mostly to children. Egon Berger even mentions in his memoirs how they would keep some body parts as souvenirs, mostly eyes, as mentioned in the video, but also noses and ears. Theres a part in which he describes how they gave some of those to their own children to keep - Egon mentions this latter part in relation to a Serbian Orthodox priest that was mutilated on a particular day. All in all, quite a brutal and twisted regime that embodies the gore of a grade A horror movie tbh.
Yes, divide and conquer. Absolutely what we are seeing in our world today. The ones doing this are still in the dividing stage: black-white, left-right, etc etc etc.

Correction: Prince Paul was not pro German and was very much an Anglophile. He was constantly engaged in discussions with army staff about the possibility of fighting in the war but all possibilities were looking grim. Czechoslovakia was handed over to the Germans, France fell, the neighbouring countries joined the pact. Kingdom of Yugoslavia was out gunned and surrounded. It simply could not survive should it enter the war.
Germany wanted to move it's troops through the country in order to invade Greece but Paul couldn't allow it as his wife was Greek and many Serbs including Paul were Eastern Orthodox and it would have been seen as an ultimate act of betrayal of those they came to call their closest friend.
Some compromises were achieved during the negotiations and Yugoslavia joined the pact as more of a material member. But days later Paul was ousted from power and exiled. Peter the II declared legal age to assume the throne. But the country still attempted to continue talks with Germany in order to avoid war. Sadly we all know what happened next.
And the Germans didn't even want to invade Greece, it delayed the invasion of the USSR. Mussolini though wanted his own glory so he invaded Greece from Albania and found himself in trouble as the Greeks actually started to push them back. The Germans were very conferenced that the Greeks and British would ally and it would create a southern front for the Allies. So they had to move in and take greece before the british moved in. This meant they had to move through Yugoslavia.
hahahahahahaaaaa goood one ...
Many people were killed there, and it's estimated that tens of thousands lost their lives.

There is a lot of hate
And nastiness in our world but despite this there. Much more love and compassion. Shown day to day
Hate is powerful but it has a chink in his armor because with unity people who love each other are much more likely to want to come together in their of a common cord now with hatred though people are individuals with their own sensibilities and quite often hatred comes paired with vanity. And is bound to skew ones mind. And breeds mistrust and looking over your shoulder. So hate groups are actually. More facade than substance
Bcuz the group may share a collective hatred. But. Are arrogant and or mentally afflicted so. The competition is fierce
When love and compassion are present communication is much clearer. Thoughts are more collected less chaotic
Hate is held together but. Always a hair shy of breaking apart
As it's probably not a pleasant experience to be so. Hemmed in by other nasty folks love and compassion create. A. A bond of trust
That is why love is always stronger than hate.

From my understanding, basically the difference between a camp like Jasenovac and other more mainstream historical camps is that Jasenovac was undermanaged and had bad logistics creating a horrific dynamic between guards and prisoners. Prisoners were basically like chickens in a pen and guards were wolves with a never ending hunger. Just sloppily creating destruction and chaos based on mood swing. All pow camps have bad logistics, but when things really aren't planned out it becomes hell on Earth like in Jasenovac and other lesser known and poorly managed war camps throughout history.
@@laughattack1204 Your understanding is not good. This camp was planned for extermination of non-Croats(Serbs, Jewish, Romani...). Serbs were the main target. They even invented special weapon for cutting throats(google the Serb-cutter), and they had competitions in executions of prisoners. Also, they had special section of the camp for children(only one known in history so far). That is the reason why i am not going to share any details of stories i know, because of sick people that enjoy the horror gore, and other people as yourself that diminish the atrocities without researching first. They had a plan of extermination, and the camp was very well managed for that purpose.
@@laughattack1204 history is written by the victor.
Second wife of my great-grandfather had 4 children, a Serbian woman. In spring 1942, in village near Prijedor city, all 4 children were brutally killed on her eyes by Ustashe Croat soldiers. Baby was taken from her arms and stick to bayonet. Most of people never made it to concentration camp, they were usually slaughtered in their villages (e.g. village Prebilovci).
She survived a war, and lived and died in Belgrade after the war. She was deeply respected by our family.
Prebilovci are very well known for suffering imposed on its people
I’m so sorry.
Let's not talk about what serbian people were doing to croats like never forget Vukovar.
they would slit pregnant woman open and put cat inside and stitch they would hang our soldiers alive 100m from our people point of view they would kill the childrens with mothers and fathers and many more genocids that will never be forgotten i can tell you much more stories from which i've heard from a dude that survived everything and to this day he is saying that if he knew for what was he fighting he would never be in that spot for a minute of his life its funny that i hear stories from serbs that croatia did the most genocids but no one comments that croats were just defending the motherland.
yeah ustase did kill while cetnici aka serbs were slaughtering a mankind.
My grandma’s family was from Prebilovci. 50 family members from her mother side were either murdered on site or have been thrown in pits, which the Croats blew up in the last Yugoslavian war. I’ve heard all these stories as a little child and i don’t really know how to cope with it
@@MrDarknessDroa In Prebilovcy they killed 826 Serbs (out of 994).
In school of Prebilovci they slaughtered 120 children, first they raped a teacher, a 32-old woman, by the name Stana Arnaut. They raped her in-font of children, and they cut her with knives, before starting to cut Serbian children.... they cut many heads and ordered them in piles in tables. In many cases intestines were out and spread around class rooms.
While they were slaughtering, a band of Gypsy Orchestra musicians was playing....they were brought in force and ordered to play music.
After the massacre Italian general Aleksandro Luzano experienced terrible shock from the site and stench in school, a monstrosity and bestiality unknown to humans..... he then wrote a letter to Mussolini....
Pretty solid, but I have to make couple of small corrections.
As someone already noticed in the comments-prince Paul was actually a staunch anglophile, and was forced to negotiate with Third Reich only after the fall of France and after he was rebuffed when he asked Britain for help.
Also, while Latin script is the only official script in Croatia-older, better educated generations can understand Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic (not Russian, but quite different version of the script btw), but seldom want's to use it, sometimes pretending they don't understand it. Serbs however use both scripts equally, and certainly can and do use Latin script.
Ante Pavelic didn't just die in Spain. He first fled, through Catholic church rat channels to Argentina, where in 1957. he was asassinated by Blagoje Jovovic, ex-JVuO member acting as a lone wolf avenger. He was severely wounded, and although not dying on the spot, he was transferred to Spain for medical treatment, but died there two years later due to medical complications.
We don't pretend that we don't know cyrrilic letters. We just didn't have it lectured long enough in elementary scholl and I can read because I was good at schol but many adults don't remember it. I can't read handwritten letters. And I can't write it. We didn't use iz so we lost it. And later generations even didn't learn cyrrilic letters any more. We don't use it. In middle ages and later we used it regularly. So that is why "we pretend".
Serbs do not use the Russian Cyrillic. they have their own. and they also use Latin script even more (to the point that some are now concerned that Cyrillic may become extinct). and it's the same as the one used by the Croats - which is different from the Latin used in the West.
The 'some' who consider Cyrillic to be in threat of extinction are fucking insane, to be fair.
@milamila1123 That's neither here nor there. I was just trying to point out the mistakes made in this video about the scripts used by the Croats and the Serbs. Maybe I should've left out the "save the Cyrilic" movement out of it.

Lazar Kosanović, a descendant of Nikola Tesla, an American-Serbian scientist is one of the last survivors of the Ustasha death camps in the NDH. Lazar Kosanović, speaks on behalf of 91 members of the Tesla family who were brutally murdered in the Independent State of Croatia, 14 of them in Jasenovac. While the Serbs were put in the position of having to defend the truth about the Serbian origin of the great scientist, some tried before that to hide his roots in oblivion. In 1941, the Ustashas of the NDH killed all the Serbian population in Smiljan, the birthplace of Nikola Tesla, as well as in the surrounding Serbian villages. Then they demolished Nikola Tesla's birthplace as well as the temple where his father Milutin Tesla, an Orthodox priest and the first religious teacher in Gospić, served, says Kosanović and tells us to remember that every time we hear or read that Croats claim that Nikola Tesla is a Croat. .

My father's mother was arrested by the Croats at the Vinkovci train station for trying to give Greek Jews water. The Greeks were being transported to death camps when their train made a stop at my grandmother's town. The only thing that saved her from immediate execution was the fact she was an American citizen and passport holder. She was sent to prison for 6 months. My mother's grandmother was sent to a Croat/Ustashe camp for allegedly "spying" on Italian soldiers at a cafe in 1942. She was an Argentine of Serbian ancestry and spoke Spanish/Serbian. The Italians handed her over to the Croats who in turn sent her to a camp where she suffered a stroke.

Should the West uncritically rely on war history history written by communists without doing scientific excavations? Tito was as bloodthirsty a dictator as Stalin. Partisans sat quietly in Yugoslavia for 2 years and did not fight fascists and Nazis, only when Hitler broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, also called the Hitler-Stalin Pact, actually the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, and attacked the Soviet Union then they waited the instructions from Moscow.
How could this happen in Jasenovac when 13 ethnic Serbs were Ustasha generals in the NDH and loyal throughout the Second World War, would they allow this against their own people? How could this happen when the Serbian Prime Minister Milan Nedic who collaborated with the Nazis 1941-1944 made an agreement with Berlin to exchange all the Jews in Sebia for Serbs in the region who were to be moved home to Serbia in safety, which led to Belgrade in Serbia becoming the first Jew-free capital in Europe and later Serbia was also declared to be Jew-free. Milan Nedic had contact with Pavelic in Zagreb demanded that Serbs have all rights in the NDH like all other citizens plus rights to their own religion.
13 ethnic Serbs-Ustasha generals in NDH: Milan Uzelac (1867-1953), Mihajlo Lukić (1866-1961), Đuro Gruić (1887-1945), Đuro Dragičević (1890-1980), Fedor Dragojlov (1881-1961), Dušan Palčić (1881-1963), Milan Desović (1895-1960), Jovan Iskrić (1884-1963), Zvonimir Stimaković (1891-1974), Lavoslav Milić (1890-1964), Miroslav Opačić (1881-?) and Jovan Pribić (1885-?) Historian from Bulagria claim that Jasenovac was a labor camp with 10 barracks and very few workers lost their lives, where a few were killed, during the Second World War, and that the communists wrote alternative history after the war. Historian from Montenegro claim that there were more Serbs right after the Second World War, compared to when the war started according to statistics.

Ante Pavelic was wounded in Buenos Aires 1957 by Yugoslav secret agent Blagoje Jovovic.
He dies two years later in Madrid.
Prior to that he worked as a personal security agent for General Perón when he was president. Perón liked to surround himself with nazis, while at the same time trying to build good ties with the local jews. You can guess I'm not fond of him or his party.
Рука му се позлатила❤❤❤❤Херој❤❤❤❤
Not true, he was not in any way "Yugoslavian", Blagoje Jovovic was Serb 100% . In fact Yugoslavians wanted him killed after he shot Pavelic. He was a officer of the Serbian royal army. Communists tried luring him to Belgrade to kill him, but it failed. He never went to communist occupied Serbia. There where numerous croat ustasa in communists after Tito enabled nazes to trade uniforms and "become" communists and continue to kill Serbs.
He wasn't a yugoslav secret agent.
He was a Serbian nationalist rogue shooter.
Socialist Yugoslavia was very much pro-Croat and most of it's political leadership was Croatian.

Cyrillic is not a Russian script, but Serbian and Bulgarian, which has been used in the Orthodox churches of the Balkans since the 7th century. In contrast to the Vatican, which forbade the Slavs to write in their own language, and through the Latin language used in the Roman Catholic Church, carried out the assimilation of the Slavs into Germans, Hungarians, or Italians. There is no central church in Orthodoxy, but there are local churches (Serbian Orthodox Church, Bulgarian, Romanian), in which church services were conducted in local languages, and books were written (and later printed) using the Glagolitic and later the Cyrillic script.
Cyrillic is a Bulgarian script, not Serbian.
Cirilic is Slav, and other latin signs are invented later. See the Vincha signs, do the lookalike "latin" ?? or more Cirilic? see them, 15,000 years ago.
@@WorkWithoutHuman it is invented by the Bulgarian Tsardom and then spread throughout other Slavic countries

People think that Auschwitz was the worst camp... No, it wasn't. It's just the most well known. Apart from concentration camps, there were also death camps, like Treblinka, or camps in which prisoners remembered Auschwitz as a relatively 'good' place to survive, like Mauthausen or Gusen in Austria.
Jasenovac by american holocaust memorial said 70-90,000 were killed.
Auschwitz death toll was 1,1 million. It was the biggest, most brutal camp ever made. Stop lying. U dont know wtf ur talking about.
I am Croatian. I have not lived there for a long time but it's funny I learn more about the war through youtube videos than I was ever taught growing up there
This is such an underreported and unknown horrific chapter of WW2. The brick works, the serb cutter, the hammers, it literally sounds like a WAY over the top B-grade horror film, but it's true... Of course it freaked the SS out, this is a level of depravity that even the most barbaric of nazi death camps didn't descend to...
No wonder Tito kept a lid on all this.
Tito was a Croatian that did in essence end what his people did start with different methods
To understand the reality of today you have to learn about the past
Tito was for the Serbs what our regimes are for us today ..what our "whyte lib-erals" are ..that have been for the serbs the "jugoslavs"
No wonder as well the local Serbs barricaded the roads when Yugoslavia dissolved and Croatia became independent.
@@ColoradoStreaming They did a lot more than "barricaded the roads"
My main rationale for Tito keeping a lid on this is two fold. First to avoid international condemnation and any kind of further association of the then newly-created Yugoslavia and the horrors of the Ustase war crimes. Secondly, the suppression of this history was political in nature. Tito was bringing a very complex and historically belligerent group of people and nationalities together in one unitary state under the banners of communism and pan-southern Slav unity. It would be difficult to be one collective proletariat as well as a unified "Land of The Southern Slavs", (which is the literal translation of Yugoslavia) if the wounds of genocide, ethnic cleansing and total war were allowed to fester and continue to cause conflict.
These are just my own musings on the topic. There are a lot of aspects of Balkan history that I don't know and I don't claim to be any kind of expert. From my own perspective, I have a lot of respect for Tito and what he was able to accomplish in the Yugoslavia that he built. His navigation of the Cold War in a basically non-aligned way, his handling of Stalin and his assassination attempts, and the things he was able to do and achieve for his country are deserving of that respect in my view. Not to mention that he fought fascism and came out on top. Yugoslavia is basically the only country that liberated themselves from fascism in WW2. Much respect for that too.

They even beatified one of them, goes to show just how regretful they are about the atrocities they committed
Jasenovac is not the only death camp in Croatia. Croatian nazi called 'ustasha' had many more. Even hardcore SS soldiers vomited when they saw war crimes commited on civilians, mostly Serbs, Jews and Gipsies. The truly horrifying fact is that 'ustasha nazi movement' is still popular in modern day Croatia! They have parades where they march and salute HH. They wear black shirts with 'U' symbol that represents Croatian nazi. They also have a singer nicknamed Thompson who sings about the murder of serbs and other non-croats and glorifies ethnic cleansing commited with the help of US and NATO. Ustasha movement was active during 90s Balkan wars, keeping their nazi ideology and symbolism. This time Canadian soldiers were the ones vomiting (there is an interview on YT even).
The only thing that puzzles me even today is... Why the hell EU and the rest of the collective west accepted them as their own, knowing who they are and what they did. If you want unbiased pespective on this subject, go look for the book named 'Jasenovac, the Aushwitz of Balkans' by Gideon Greif, researcher at Simon Visenthal Institute for war crimes.
As a reminder:
Serbian state policy in the 1990s and now is to exterminate all non-serbs from balkans and turn yugoslavia into a ethnic clear greater serbia were only serbs are allowed to live (read the SANU-Documents)
Serbs ethnic cleansed 200.000 croats and other non-serbs from croatia

My grandfather, a communist prisoner, was forced in Jasenovac to burry bodies which were often alive. He wasn’t killed because he’s father has fought in Austria-Hungary army in Carpathian WW1. My grandmother was 5 when her family was taken to Jasenovac. Her father was burnt alive in front of the family, tight to a tree. My grandmother was moved after few years to be a slave in a local family farm. After the war, she’d never close her eyes when asleep. Children in Jasenovac would stare all night long into doors because when doors open someone would be taken away and vanish for ever. It’s worth mentioning that quisling state of Serbia did nothing to stop genocide of Serbs in Jasenovac (Croatia). No one did, like the West did nothing to stop Holocaust. Not even done one single diversion. Holocaust and Jassnovac was stoped as byproduct of Russian/Soviets victory over Germany.
The West did nothing to stop the holocaust? What do you think the war was about? Millions of soldiers from the west died trying to stop it. You ungrateful sod.

What the hell is "Cyrillic alphabet of the Russian Orthodox church"? The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet differs from the Russian one and the Cyrillic is not a Russian invention, it was created in Bulgaria in the 9th century.
In Serbia, both letters are equal, they are taught in schools and the population knows how to read both Cyrillic and Latin. It is only prescribed that government documents be written in Cyrillic, but your personal choice is the letter you will use.
Official is cyrillic only
We know both
I´m from Serbia but I live in Vienna, Austria and worked as a manager for 24/7 care for the elderly. Most women who worked in those regions I was responsible for, were from Croatia and I have to say, 99% were wonderful, caring, honest and hardworking women. We have basically the same language (some words are different), we use the latin AND cyrillic writing (we have our own, not the russian). Most people in former Yugoslavia are still traumatised by the past wars and just want peace. Unfortunatly there are still those who spread the nazi ideology.
When it comes to Jasenovac you´re right, we still dont know how many people died exactly BUT you can be sure the number is a whole lot more than 500 000.
There are still undiscovered mass graves.
People have to understand that it is important to talk about the past and what EXACTLY happend, it is not about blaming today´s generation, but to prevent at all costs from ever happening again! Thank you so very much for making this video!
How can 500 000 people have died in Jasenovac if in all NDH from 1941 to 1945, died 300.000 Serbs, according to Serbian and Croat demographers (moreover, many of them died as soldiers, with arms, and many - from epidemics)?
Excellent summary of history. The only thing that is not true is that most Serbs cannot or do not want to use the Latin alphabet. Serbs know both very well and many write in Latin.
Great work and video!

The Cyrillic alphabet isn't a Russian alphabet, it was developed firstly by Kiril and Metodij who were actually Macedonians from Solun (today known as Thessaloniki). It was made to help educate and spread literacy to the Slavic people living in that area, and it wasn't called Cyrillic alphabet but Glagolitic at first. After their death, their students Kliment and Naum from Ohrid refined the alphabet and spreed it thorough Eastern Europe.
Cyrillic alphabet was created in Preslav literary school, beacuse Preslav scholars were much more dependent upon Greek models and quickly abandoned the Glagolitic scripts in favor of an adaptation of the Greek uncial to the needs of Slavic. You can compare Cyrillic and Greek alphabet and you can see the similarities. The 2 brothers were born in Thessaloniki in the Byzantime empire. They were half Greek, half Slavic. They created Glagolitic alphabet which is very different from the Cyrillic alphabet. They werent North Macedonians, neither Serbians, nor Bulgarians, they were just half Slavic.

It's interesting to note also the accounts of basically throwing children into pits to starve to death. I don't know why this isn't discussed more. These people didn't just gas, it was close combat and incredibly brutal. Too often we focus on later effects and blame people who were the victims of this. And far too few care or have even heard about it.

I had a wonderful professor of History at Kent State. Dr. Edward Gobetz. He was from Slovenia. Lived there during WWII.
He told us about some very horrific things that he witnessed. 😮😢
Dr Edi Gobetz was a true gentleman and scholar whom I was truly honoured to meet and interview back in the 90s when he visited Australia. May he rest in peace! Naj počiva v Božjem miru! ❤️🇸🇮🙏
@madness8556 Wow, very nice! This was shortly after I graduated and after I had my class with Dr. Gobetz. What a wonderful soul he was! 🫠
@@TheeRealJesus he was indeed a beautiful soul and a very proud and patriotic American Slovenian!
@madness8556 Yes he was. I interviewed and audio-recorded him for an "Oral History" project for a different class, after I'd had him for his class.
It was a wonderful experience and listening to him tell his story was both sorrowful and magical at the same time. He was just so full of love and zest for life! I wish I could channel just 25% of what he had. I know everyone in his world was blessed for having known him.
Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane! 🙏
Slovenia was overrun by the Germans, but some of the Slovenes welcomed them with flowers.
"We dive into history's darkest chapters because they serve as poignant warnings of the dire outcomes of passivity and silence, encouraging us to confront injustice." Bravo!! We need to remember that evil thrives when good men stay silent. Thank you for these videos!!
I’m not sure what the background you have playing with the video but it’s a loud thump every second . Makes it hard to listen
My grandma spoke about Dachau and so many other things. Never forget our ancestors struggle and sacrifices. Evil is real we need to unite against it before we face another world war over religion.

At least 700,000 Serbs were killed by Croatian Ustasha during WWII. But the tragedy of the Serbian people does not end there. In the post-war period,
the remaining Serbs in today's Croatia (over 500,000) were ethnically cleansed by Croats from their centuries-old hearths during the 1990s with the consent and support of Western political and military centers.
Hermann Neubacher, Austrian Nazi and special German envoy for the Balkans in World War II, writes in his book "Memoirs": "The recipe for the Orthodox, which was received by the Ustasha leader and the leader of the NDH, Ante Pavelić, reminds us of the bloodiest religious wars: "A third must become Catholic, one-third must leave the country, and one-third must die. The last point of the program has been implemented. When the Ustasha leaders talk about the slaughter of a million Orthodox Serbs - including babies, children, women and the elderly, it is, in my opinion, exaggeration and self-aggrandizement. Based on the reports that have reached me, I estimate that the number of innocent, unarmed, slaughtered Serbs is around 750,000".
hello @ADayInHistoryOfficial thank you for this channel. I think it's super important to not let forget these war crimes and help people to be aware that none of these horrors will happen again.
I feel like stan lee once said it best himself.
"That boy over there, thats your brother, and that girl over there thats your sister. we are all part of one big family"
Given me deep chills just to listen to what was done. Truly suffering unimaginable parallels. I pray that all of those people young and old are at peace with the Lord Jesus Christ. Beyond horrific.
Amen

From my research of the camps and guards, the killings became boring so they continued to find more "exciting" ways to kill. One american cameraman listed just two and after one day of pictures taken, gave up his position due to not being able to sromach it.
If you searched for Serbian sources, you could find how Serbian children were thrown to lions in Sarajevo 1992. and how 43 Serbian children were slaughtered in Vukovar in 1991.

Alo balavac, tema emisije je najgori mogući koljači na svijetu poznatiji kao ustaše i njihova fabrika smrti poznatija kao Jasenovac.
Outstanding and correct description of historic events.The film helps in understanding what took place in this troubled region...
Brother satan was a sadistic psychopath. It’s really scary when someone like that gets power and the ability to be out in the open with their cruelty.
That happens all the time, even at this moment. But it isn't in the front of our eyes, so we dont know who exactly is the todays"Mengele" or "Brother satan".
He actually ended up in Jasenovac because he was sentenced to jail by the Germans for war crimes. The Croats running the came made him a guard.
It’s even scarier what his consciousness is currently experiencing for his blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.
@@daxx7359 Afcourse we know, it's more than obviouslly. Allways collective West atacks on East. Before10-15 years ago Madlen Al bright said"Russia have to much of goods (gas,oil,water...) ,and they should split with others..." Because of It today is NATO on their border...
there was no satan involved.. only humans and their malevolence (given by god as you could say) :D
It's sad, scary and disgusting that there are people today who praise what was done there
A lot of Ustase fled here to Australia after the war and folded themselves into the political establishment
Yes but Tito killed most of them.Bleiburg repatriations.
whaaat??
Mauthausen was also known to be particularly brutal - see the "stairs of death"
That wasn't a true story.
@@obersturmfuhrer88umm, yes, it absolutely is true
Thank you for making this video! People should know that horrors exists so it doesn't happen again. I just would like to say that Croats are denying any of this and they are saying Jasenovac was a work camp. That is a lie. I understand that it is hard to accept what your grandfathers and grandmothers did in war, but denying it you are just spitting more on people that suffered enough. Important part of history that should not be forgotten.
I am a croat, and have never denied the existence of the genocide in jasenovac. Or neither heard a croat saying that the concentration camp was only a work camp or other things.
Why are 99% of serbs celebrating war crimes in bosnia and kosova?
And are always laughing about there victims?
Asking for a albanian friend...
I am Croat and I can only say to stay polite enough that you're not telling truth!
Majority of Croats don't deny this horrific death camp and crimes commited there by the ustaše!
Every time that you use such a rude generalizations you are making an excuse to deligitimize all members of modern day Croatia and show them as the somehow lesser human beings!
And one more important thing to say: many Croats also had their grandparents in antifascist Tito's partizans! And Josip Broz Tito himself - leader of the most organized antifasicist movent in Europe was Croat born in village near Croatian capital Zsgreb!
@@HRKguy in addition, most of croats fought nazis in Titos (who was also croat) army
Croats who are denying this are the ones who didn’t have family in italian camps. My great great grandfather who was a communist from Croatia had his wife and kids burned by Italians and was deported to a camp. Later on he was on the list in Jasenovac. The chetniks and ustashas used to tell Italians who was a communist. They burned whole villages, r@ped women and tortured men with the help of both armies. Countless ditches full of people are in close proximity to my village, created by all 3 armies.
Greetings from Serbia. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you very much! Many my relatives were murdered there! 😢 My grandparents were there and in Stara Gradiška children concentration camp!
Despicable that this occurred only a mere 80 years ago. Filipovic was among several Franciscan priests which is astounding -- they would actually hold Mass and then round up the congregation and execute them -- they played games with the prisoners, fooling them to believe they were being cared for at clinics and then laughed as they stabbed them -- and, he had the audacity (and they allowed him) to wear his religious cleric robe at his hanging.
I was part of a fast reaction team that would UN troops out if they got in trouble in 95. They were supposed to be buffers between combatants and refugees.
I have never understood the conflict. I can't say it now makes sense, there is no explanation that will ever make the brutality that took place there make sense, but at least this video gave me a historical perspective.
My great grandfather was killed by Ustase in WW2, but he did not end up in death camp, he was slaughtered and then droped into some pit, his bones are still there...
Can I just...the sound used for this video is so bad. That constant thump thump is just taking me away from whatever you were saying. Maybe not use that next time?
The scariest thing to shock you even more beyond everything else will be when you find out who was the manager of that camp. World might change after that...
Why? There is a list of camp commanders in the Wikipedia article. Nothing special there.

My family came to America from Yugoslavia during this time period. I just came across this video because I was watching your other WWII content and I am surprised how much I learned about the background of these countries not just WWII stuff. Very cool.
It beggers belief that there are people that could do such horrific things to another simply because of them being a different race. How could they torture children, women and men that way. Human beings can be so cruel, yet others the complete opposite. I truly wish we could all live in peace. My heart breaks 💔 for all those who suffered and were killed. Why is there such evil in the world. 😢
What other race are you talking about? 90% of Croatians are converted from Serbian population some 200-300 years ago. Croatia is a Vatican client state. Its the same race.

Nice Serbian name and surname you have...
Serbs and Croats are of the same race. The difference is religion, culture and even language to a lesser degree. Serbs have a strong affiliation with the Russians being of the Orthodox religion while Croats answer to the Pope being Catholics. For many years, Serbs were dominated by the Turks of the Ottoman empire while Croats were dominated by the Austrians of the Austrian-Hungarian empire. Croats sought to dominate Serbs through terror and killing during that time period when National Socialism was the dominant political force in Germany and Italy.
The devil lives
UA-cam recommendations decided I wasn't sad enough tonight
We are now watching events as brutal as what happened in Europe in the 30s and 40s. Survivors of the Holocaust have made this comparison. Nonetheless, we are watching and saying, “It’s complicated.” And we are standing by as our representatives support the horror, politically, monetarily, and socially.
Isreali apartheid IDF soldier are war criminals
Thank you for showing this video!
Not many people know about the atrocities of the Ustaša under Ante Pavelić.
Jasenovac was a place of utter horror 😱! Unbelievable, unspeakable horror...
I went to visit the camp and it's museum. We saw a documentary film that still haunts me to this day!
Can you imagine s place that even freaked SS Nazis out???
Never forget history because forgotten it will repeat itself xxx
Serbian monstrosity in Montenegro after WWI, when will Serbia be held accountable? Serbian genocid in Vukovar Croatia, when will Serbia be held accountable? Serbian occupation war in Bulgaria in 1885 and killing of innocent civilians, when will Serbia be held accountable?
