Good morning everyone, today’s topic isn’t very pleasant I am afraid. However, pleasantries and nice doesn’t a good scholar make. This was scheduled for earlier in the week, given it’s dense subject matter and importance within the history of Europe and its effect on the modern Balkans, I promoted it to the Saturday Lecture Series. Please be sure to familiarize (or re-familiarize) yourself with the following series on the Balkans:
The Balkan Problem, Part 1
The Balkan Problem, Part 2a
The Balkan Problem, Part 2b Who are the KLA?
The Balkan Problem, Part 3. Revisiting Srebrenica.
Events of WWII then set the stage for the Serbian actions in the 1990′s. The ethnic/religious splits listed above were exploited by Hitler when his armies invaded Yugoslavia. Hitler found willing allies in the Albanian, Kosovar, and Bosnian Muslims which were openly supported by the Palestinian Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini and Croatian Catholics led by the Pope in Rome and the Nazi Puppet leader of Croatia Ante Pavelic. The Palestinian Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini was a famous anti-Semite. He preached that the Muslims in Yugoslavia should join the 13th Handschar Waffen SS division and the Muslim Albanians should join the 21st Skanderbeg Waffen SS Division, these same divisions would be implicated and found guilty of war crimes such as murder, ethnic cleansing, rape, forced migration against the Orthodox Serbs.
The Catholic Church, through blessings and cooperation from Rome and the active participation of the clergy, especially the Franciscan order in Croatia, were directly responsible for total support of the creation of Ante Pavelic’s fanatical Catholic Ustashe. The end result is ethnic cleansing of Orthodox Serbs and the creation of the Jasenovac Concentration Camp in Croatia, staffed by Ustashe of both Catholic and Muslim religions were responsible for 750,000 Serbs, 60,000 Jews, and 25,000 Gypsies murdered. Yes murdered, not killed in war, murdered in a concentration camp so that the expanded Greater Croatian State could be for Catholics and Muslims only. More people were murdered in the Jasenovac Concentration Camp than died in actual war in Yugoslavia. Pope John-Paul II apologized for this atrocity in 1997.
Jasenovac is covered in Part 1 above, it is expanded on here as a stand-alone by 1389. I thank her for her effort on this part of the tragedy that is the History of the Balkans.

__________________________________________________
If you want to understand the Balkans, you need to know about this dark chapter in our history that has been very effectively covered up. Few people in the West are aware of the mass slaughter of Serbs, Jews, Roma, and others in Nazi Croatia and other Axis-occupied territories in the Balkans, even though an abundance of evidence exists.
No, this is NOT a general indictment of the Roman Catholic Church. It IS an indictment of the Third Reich.
