Abstract: In The Death Camps of Croatia, Raphael Israeli shows that throughout Yugoslavia during World War II, anti-semitism was both deeply rooted and widespread. This book traces the circumstances and the historical context in which the pro-Nazi Ustasha state, encompassing Croatia and Bosnia, erected the Jadovno and Jasenovac death camps. Israeli distills fact and historical record from accusation and grievance, noting that seventy years later, the gap in research and the collection of data, memoirs, and oral histories has become almost irreparable. This volume meets the challenge, basing its conclusions on evidence from participants from the period.
Contents: Yugoslavia on the eve of Nazi occupation -- The German expansion into the Balkans -- The roots of the Ustasha regime -- The Jadovno complex -- The Middle East connection -- The Muslim connection and Haj Amin al-Husseini -- Jasenovac: the routinization of mass-murder -- The oppression of war memories and their re-emergence.
