Serbia will expose Croatian accomplices of Hitler at the international level
The Republika Srpska Museum will present the exhibition “Jasenovac - the largest Ustasha death camp” as part of the international museum and exhibition project “Tragedy. Overcoming. Feat. 1418 steps to Victory", which will open on November 14 in the Art-Kremlin gallery on the territory of the Izmailovo Kremlin.
The representative of the Republika Srpska in Russia, Dusko Perovic, spoke about this at a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The exhibition is the result of fruitful cooperation between the Izmailovo Kremlin and the Museum of the Republika Srpska. The project was developed over the course of a year. We are proud to be able to talk about this at such a high level. Few people know about the existence of the Jasenovac camp itself, despite the fact that in terms of the horrors and atrocities that were committed there, it has no analogues in the history of mankind,” Perovic said.
“This camp was founded by the Ustasha, whose goal was the destruction of the Serbian people. They wanted to kill one third of the Serbs, convert one third to the Catholic faith and expel one third,” said Miladin Savic, director of the Republika Srpska Museum.
Chairman of the Board of the Russian Historical Society, executive director of the History of the Fatherland Foundation Konstantin Mogilevsky believes that the participation of the Republika Srpska Museum was the highlight of the project.
“We are faced with attempts to rewrite history in Europe. Therefore, we are grateful to our colleagues from Republika Srpska, who consistently defend a clear understanding of the truth about the Second World War,” said Mogilevsky.
He said that part of the exhibition dedicated to the Jasenovac camp will be included in a tablet exhibition dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg trials and dedicated to the crimes of the Nazis in the occupied territories. It will be presented in all European countries.
The Jasenovac concentration camp was created following the example of German concentration camps. The Croatian state, created by the fascists, sought to get rid of “undesirable elements,” primarily the Serbs. Jews and Gypsies were also exterminated. In Jasenovac, 20 thousand children and teenagers were killed.
The exact number of victims has not yet been established. To hide the traces of its crimes, the Ustasha government twice destroyed the concentration camp files and documents. According to most authoritative researchers, the number of victims of the Jasenovac camp is about 700 thousand people.
