Has the Holocaust Museum cooked the books as a favor to the Nazis / Ustashas still in influential positions in Washington?
The Holocaust Museum is owned by the US government. It serves as a propaganda tool. It hosted neo-Nazi Croatian president Tudjman. It kicked out John Ranz, defender of Serbs, president of the Survivors of Buchenwald, a Jew.
The US quisling Dodik, runnig Serb Bosnia at Banja Luka, handed over to the Museum without agreement of his Government materials from Croatia's Auschwitz. Could they possibly have been tampered with? Did Bill Clinton ever fib?Efraim Zurov of the Wiesenthal Foundation / Jerusalem told me that the total number of Jews in Nazi Croatia was 20,000 at the beginning of the slaughter. Only a few survived.
Ms Trescott or the HM lost at least 400,000 Jasenovac victims somewhere.
Most of the victims at Jasenovac were Serbs.
That's why they fought to defend multi-ethnic Yugoslavia against Nazi and Islamist secessionists. These neo-fascist and Islamist puppet statelets, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, were recognized and backed by the US, Germany, the Vatican, Turkey, Saudi Arabia (including Osama), the Vatican, UK. They were cheered and the Serbs were demonized by the "the international community" and in the "free press", including the Washingtonpost.ComPost.

Pieces of Croatia's Holocaust Now Online

Wednesday, November 14, 2001; Page C04In January 1942, Andela Hrg, an inmate of the Jasenovac concentration camp in
Croatia, was suffering from extreme hunger and began writing a collection of
recipes. She finished it the next month and the small, yellowed book with the
simple title "Recepti" is a testament to her endurance.The slim volume is also one of the few personal artifacts that tell the story
of Jasenovac. The World War II camp was run by the fascist Ustashe regime, a
staunch ally of Nazi Germany. Between 1941 and 1945, the Ustashe killed
between 56,000 and 97,000 people, most of them Serbs, Jews, Gypsies, Muslims
and political opponents.Today the widely known atrocities of other concentration camps have shaped
modern knowledge of the Holocaust and left much of the history of places like
Jasenovac in the hands of survivors, their families and historians.The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is trying to change that through a special
examination of Jasenovac, the largest camp in Southeast Europe. Yesterday
officials at the museum unveiled a Web site (www.ushmm.org/jasenovac) with
photographs, films, oral histories and other materials that tell the story of
the camp. "It will shed light on still-obscure shadows," said Miles Lerman,
chairman emeritus of the museum's governing body and chairman of its
international relations committee.Gathering facts about Jasenovac remains a work in progress. The story is
complicated by political and ethnic turbulence, recent wars and missing
archives.The concentration camp, a series of low buildings set on the bank of the Sava
River, didn't have the elaborate infrastructure of the infamous camps in
German and Poland. People were marched to Jasenovac, stripped of their
belongings, forced to work and then brutally killed. Some were tied together
with shackles and put in boats that were overturned in the Sava. The camp was
also a deportation stop for 7,000 Jews who were sent from Croatia to
Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and other camps."In terms of the exact figures, this is a real difficulty since no one
counted at the time. We have a long history of the use and abuse of these
figures," said Peter Black, the museum's chief historian. "This was an
example of a more primitive style of camp. People were killed in the
old-fashioned way with rifles and axes."In 1943 and 1945 Yugoslavian authorities destroyed many of the camp's
records. Over the years some documents were protected by a council that
oversaw Jasenovac. But during the war-torn '90s, the collection was
transferred to an archive in the Bosnian Serb republic. Last year the U.S.
embassies in the region told museum officials about the archives.The museum worked out agreements with government officials to conserve the
collection and and discovered a large part of the original inventory was
missing. What they have saved are thousands of documents, eight reels of
film, thousands of photos, 70 oral histories and historical artifacts. Those
include armbands, Star of David patches, knives, hatchets and shackles. The
future preservation of the documents and photographs is assured, said
researcher Sanja Primorac, because now there are duplicates at the museum in
Washington.Dora Klayman, a local retired teacher whose parents died in Jasenovac, helped
museum officials translate many of the documents."I understood the forced labor, the starvation, the deaths. We knew about the
dying, and later on as a child I saw pictures of disemboweled people," said
Klayman, who was hopeful that the American public and her countrymen would
learn a lesson: "I want the people there to recognize what their history was
and learn to live with one another."© 2001 The Washington Post Company
