Melbourne's Katarina Zrinski restaurant held a celebration this past weekend to
honor World War II Croatian leader Ante Pavelic, whose genocidal policies led
to the deaths of 400,000 {sic: read 700 000] Serbs, Jews and Gypsies. The
restaurant is attached to the local Croatian club. The event honoring the head
of the Croatian fascist Ustasha movement and the leader of Nazi-allied Croatia
was an "outrageous affront" both to his victims and to any persons of morality
and conscience who oppose racism and genocide, the Simon Wiesenthal Center's
chief Nazi-hunter and Israel director Dr. Efraim Zuroff said on Wednesday.
According to local press reports, a large photograph of Pavelic was hung in the
restaurant, T-shirts with his picture and that of two other commanders in the
1941-1945 Ustasha government were offered for sale at the bar, and the
establishment of the " Independent State of Croatia " was celebrated. Zuroff
noted this was not the first time that Croatian émigrés in Australia had openly
defended Croatian Nazi war criminals. "It is high time that the authorities in
Australia find a way to take the necessary measures to stop such celebrations,
which clearly constitute racist, ethnic, and anti-Semitic incitement against
Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies," he said. About 30,000 Croatian Jews - or 80 percent
of the country's Jewish population - died during the Holocaust. (Apr 16, 2008.
