Israeli Leader Praises Serbian Law On Holocaust Victims' Property
Israel's president has praised Serbia for passing a law providing restitution to the Jewish community for unclaimed Jewish property seized during the Holocaust. Reuven Rivlin said on July 26 after talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic that the 2016 bill should serve as a model for other countries.

Red Cross Nazi Concentration Camp in Nis, Serbia
The Crveni Krst concentration camp (lit. Red Cross concentration camp), located in Crveni Krst, Niš, was operated by the German Gestapo and used to hold captured Serbs, Jews and Romanis during the Second World War. Established in mid-1941, it was used to detain as many as 35,000 people during the war and was liberated by the Yugoslav Partisans in 1944. More than 10,000 people are thought to have been killed at the camp. After the war, a memorial to the victims of the camp was erected on Mount Bubanj, where many inmates were shot. A memorial museum was opened on the former campgrounds in 1967 and in 1979 the campgrounds were declared a Cultural Monument of Exceptional Importance and came under the protection of the Socialist Republic of Serbia.
The camp/museum was all but deserted when we visited in April 2017. Admittedly it was the Easter weekend and the city, in general, was pretty quiet but I suspect that it is often the case. The Crveni Krst is not as well documented/publicised as other former Nazi concentration camps across Europe, such as Auschwitz-Birkenau or Dachau, and simply doesn’t receive as many visitors.
Surrounded by an imposing high perimeter wall, the camp makes an impression the minute you enter the wooden gate on the western side of the complex. The ticket counter is situated in what must have been the commandant’s office. Above the door looms an engraved swastika and SS symbol as well as the German word Wache, which simply translates as Watch (as in sentry/lookout). There are two auxiliary buildings to the right of the ex-commandant’s office and scattered throughout the seven-hectare plot are a number of guard/watchtowers as well as some of the original barbwire fencing. There is also a discreet memorial along the eastern boundary of the camp but the most dominating structure within the camp’s confines is the large, sinister-looking grey building which was used to house the prisoners. It is now a museum and inside are exhibits and information relating to the camp and some of its inmates.
Some of the information on display relates to one of the more significant dates in the camp’s infamous history, 12th February, 1942. After nightfall on this date, a mass breakout of 147 inmates resulted in 105 escaped prisoners and 11 dead German guards. Of the 105 prisoners that did break free, only 23 didn’t perish soon after taking flight but reprisals by the occupying Nazis were swift and harsh and at least 1,100 inmates (one hundred for every German guard that was killed) were executed as punishment for what happened. It was the largest breakout of prisoners from a concentration camp throughout the course of the Second World War.
Most of the information inside the museum is in English as well as Serbian.
As an aside, the camp got its rather deceptive name from the fact that the main building was originally a military barracks for a Red Cross (as in the humanitarian movement) facility that had been established nearby. It is also known as the 12th February Memorial Museum after the major breakout described above.
It’s been at least fifteen years since I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau, in fact the Crveni Krst Concentration Camp is only the second museum of its kind that I have ever been to. I recall being moved by what I saw in Poland, the exhibits were superbly presented and I had an excellent one-on-one guide. But I also remember the crowds and the lack of sensitivity from some of the visitors. From some accounts that I read, the situation has not improved with time and, with the increase in popularity of nearby Krakow and the invention of the selfie-stick, arguably got worse. In Nis we were almost alone and were not distracted by any unruly behaviour. The displays inside the museum were not as informative or hard-hitting as those at Auschwitz-Birkenau but nonetheless, they were good enough to get the message across and I left the camp in a very sombre mood.

STORYLINE
Leaders and members of the Jewish community across Europe were gathering to mark the United Nations designated International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the 67th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp.
Six million (m) Jews died in the Holocaust.
In Moscow, the Russian Jewish community marked the day with a ceremony in one of the city's main synagogues, Marina Rocha.
Chief Rabbi of Russia Berl Lasar told the audience that the unborn children of the millions (m) of victims killed in the Holocaust needed to be remembered as well.
The German Ambassador to Russia said at the ceremony that the Holocaust would forever remain the blackest page in Germany's history.
In Berlin, a Holocaust survivor recalled the beginning of the end of the Warsaw ghetto as Germany's Parliament met to remember the victims.
The 91-year-old Marcel Reich-Ranicki, a prominent German literary critic, remembered the Nazi SS in July 1942 informing members of the ghetto's Jewish council of plans for the inhabitants' resettlement to the east.
Reich-Ranicki told lawmakers on Friday that a deathly silence was followed by uproar.
He said those present seemed to sense what had happened: that the sentence had been pronounced for the biggest Jewish city in Europe.
Most who survived were transported to death camps and the Nazis burned the ghetto in April 1943.

Kragujevac massacre, 1941, testimony and reconstruction - Holocaust in Serbia (English subtitles)
The Kragujevac massacre was the murder of Serbs, Jewish and Roma men and boys in Kragujevac, Serbia, by German Wehrmacht soldiers on 20 and 21 October 1941. All males from the town between the ages of sixteen and sixty were assembled, including high school students, and the victims were selected from amongst them.
On 29 October 1941, Felix Benzler, the plenipotentiary of the German foreign ministry in Serbia, reported that 2,300 people were executed. Subsequently, scholars have agreed on the figure of 2.796 persons. Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel had issued an order on 16 September 1941 (OKW-Befehl Nr. 888/41), applicable to all of occupied Europe, to kill 50 communists for every wounded German soldier and 100 for each German soldier killed. In early October Communist Partisans under Tito, and Serbian Chetniks under Draza Mihajlovic, attacked German forces near Gornji Milanovac, killing 10 and wounding 26. The massacre was a direct reprisal for the German losses in that battle.
A German report stated that: The executions in Kragujevac occurred although there had been no attacks on members of the Wehrmacht in this city, for the reason that not enough hostages could be found elsewhere. On 18 October 1941, all of the Jewish males in Kragujevac were arrested, and along with some alleged communists this group numbered about 70 men. As this number was insufficient to meet the quota, over the period of 18–21 October, the entire city was raided. Around 10,000 male civilians, aged 16–60, were arrested. The arrested were teachers, students, Jews, and any others who had been captured in the German round-up. A whole generation of high school students was taken directly from their classes. The executions started at 6 pm on the following day. People were shot in groups of 400. The shootings continued into the next day, at a lesser pace. The remaining prisoners were not released, but held as hostages for further reprisals. On 31 October 1941, Franz Böhme, the Commanding General in Serbia, sent a report to Walter Kuntze of the shootings that took place in Serbia: Shooting: 405 hostages in Belgrade (total up to now in Belgrade, 4,750). 2,300 hostages in Kragujevac. 1,700 hostages in Kraljevo. Kuntze issued a directive on 19 March 1942: The more unequivocal and the harder reprisal measures are applied from the beginning the less it will become necessary to apply them at a later date. No false sentimentalities! It is preferable that 50 suspects are liquidated than one German soldier lose his life... If it is not possible to produce the people who have participated in any way in the insurrection or to seize them, reprisal measures of a general kind may be deemed advisable, for instance, the shooting to death of all male inhabitants from the nearest villages, according to a definite ratio (for instance, one German dead 100 Serbs, one German wounded 50 Serbs). Franz Böhme went on trial for the Kragujevac massacre among other war crimes. After being captured in Norway, he was brought before the Hostages Trial, a division of the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials, and charged with war crimes committed in Serbia, during his 1941 control of the region. When his extradition to Yugoslavia seemed imminent, Böhme committed suicide by jumping from the 4th storey of the prison in which he was being held. To commemorate the victims of the massacre, the whole of Šumarice, where the killings took place, was designated a memorial park. There are several monuments there; the Interrupted Flight monument to the murdered schoolchildren and their teachers, the monument of Pain and Defiance, the monument One Hundred for One, and the monument Resistance and Freedom.
Desanka Maksimović wrote a poem about the massacre titled Krvava Bajka (A Bloody fairy tale). The Belgian poet Karel Jonckheere (1906-1993) wrote in 1965 the poem Kinderen met krekelstem [Children with cricket voices] about the Kragujevac massacre. An English poet, Richard Berengarten, wrote a book of poetry, The Blue Butterfly, based on his experiences of visiting the commemorative museum at Šumarice in 1985 when a blue butterfly landed on his hand at the entry to the museum. In 2007, the title poem from the book provided the oratorio at the open-air memorial event for the victims at the annual commemoration of the massacre.

Independent State of Croatia: Abyss
Second part of a documentary film on the Independent State of Croatia (NDH).
After shutting down the camp complex Jadovno in August 1941, heads of the Independent State of Croatia devised a concept of the largest camp in the Balkans. On the site of a nature park Lonjsko polje in Slavonia, they established Jasenovac, the largest extermination camp in the region.
Unlike the Nazi camps, Jasenovac was a place where inmates were in direct contact with their executioners, which is why it is still remembered for the killing methods employed by the executioners. “It was really hell on Earth. The methods of killing were so cruel that you cannot even describe it with your own words”, says Gideon Greif of the Shem Olam Faith & the Holocaust Institute in Israel, while the most famous Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff claims that there is a good reason why Jasenovac was titled “The Balkan Auschwitz”.
RTS team visited the memorial sites of Jasenovac in Croatia and Donja Gradina in Bosnia and Herzegovina, i.e. the Republic of Srpska, as well as the Yad Vashem Memorial Museum in Jerusalem, the most renowned global institution that investigates the Holocaust and a place where the name Jasenovac appears together with the largest camps of World War II.
Can there be a single strongest impression of “the mountain of the dead in the Slavonia plain”, as some would say about Jasenovac? Why was 1942 the bloodiest year in NDH? What did the heads of NDH say at their trials four decades later? How did the socialist Yugoslavia treat the events of World War II?
The film offers answers to these questions through interviews with: Efraim Zuroff, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Jerusalem, director of films “Blood and Ashes of Jasenovac” and “Testament” Lordan Zafranović, historians from Belgrade and Zagreb: Ljubodrag Dimić, Hrvoje Klasić, Josip Jurčević, Đuro Zatezalo, Bishop of Pakrac and Slavonia Dr Jovan Ćulibrk, publicist Slavko Goldštajn, Gideon Greif of the Shem Olam Faith & the Holocaust Institute in Israel and people employed at the Memorial Sites Jasenovac and Donja Gradina and the Museum of Genocide Victims.
Production team: author of the film Stevan Kostić, editor Goran Mijić, cameraman Aleksandar Agbaba, sound recorded by Saša Pribaković, expert consultants Dejan Ristić and Jovan Mirković, journalist collaborators Dragana Ignjić and Milica Jevtić, narrated by Dušan Radulović. The film was produced upon the proposal of the Editor in chief of the RTS News Programme, Nenad Lj. Stefanović.
