[Start Quote] "Croatia [under Fascist control called itself the
'Independent State of Croatia' or 'Nazavisna Drzava Hrvatska,' hence the
initials NDH) ... Established during W.W.II...[it] was in existence from
April 1941 to May 1945. Its area... consisted of what are today the
Federative Republic of Croatia and the Federative Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina... Its capital was Zagreb. It had a population of 6.3
million, of whom 3.3 million were Catholic Croats, 1.9 million Serbs,
700,000 Muslims... 40,000 Jews, 30,000 Gypsies...

" ... Shortly after taking control, the Ustasha, with the support of
many Croats, embarked upon what it called 'The Purge of Croatia from
Foreign Elements,' which had as its main purpose the elimination of the
Serb minority.

"In a brutal terror campaign, more than half a million Serbs were
killed, a quarter of a million expelled, and 200,000 forced to convert
to Catholicism.

"The Ustasha regime in Croatia, and particularly this drive in the
summer of 1941 to exterminate and dispossess the Serbs, was one of the
most horrendous episodes of World War II.

"The murder methods applied by the Ustasha were extraordinarily
primitive and sadistic: thousands were hurled from mountain tops, other
were beaten to death or their throats cut, entire villages were burned
down, women raped, people sent to death marches in the middle of winter,
and still others starved to death. " [End quote]

'Encyclopedia of the Holocaust,' Vol. 1, page 323, entry: 'Croatia.'

Newsguy, perhaps Fox has a job for you, if you think citing 100% erroneous
'facts' qualifies as news. Croatia was there, part of the Roman Empire, a
full 2 centuries before Germany was annexed.

This does not belong in a travel group for the USA/Canada, and you
apologists for the Holocaust are reaching bottom if you think you can blame
it on tiny Croatia.

Try reading your history. Those weren't my words; just facts in most
books about the war years. And the OP asked for interesting information
about Croatia. It was real And it was Horrible.

BTW - I don't think it belongs here either - please tell the Cratian
supporter, OP. But at least it may help encourage people to travel in
USA-Canada. Nice places.

When the very first fact is blatantly wrong (Croatia a puppet state created
by Nazi Germany) then all other 'facts' are most likely also made up.
Croatia is a beautiful country with a wonderful, history-laden seacoast, and
it's a shame that those who want to rewrite the history of the Holocaust
would try to blame it on Croats. The violent history of the Balkans goes
back perhaps a thousand years. Animosity between Croats and Serbs seems
almost inbred, and both have a long, long history of atrocious behavior. It
doesn't belong in a history of the Holocaust, even if some of it took place
during WW2. That's just ridiculous.
