Reviews

-Its compelling analysis ought to be compulsory reading for anyone interested in the causes and course of interethnic violence in Croatia and Serbia during World War II.- --Klejda Mulaj, The Historian -The Death Camps of Croatia chronicles the virtually unknown Genocide committed in unspeakable ways by the Ustashi fascists, Catholic priests, and Bosnian Muslims of 700,000 Serbs, Jews, gypsies, and dissident Croatians in the Jadovno and Jasenovac death camps . . . in wartime Yugoslavia in the Nazi-supported Independent state of Greater Croatia. Using recent archival research unveiled at the Jadovno Conference in 2011, the author reveals the catastrophic and grisly testimonies of how these atrocities were committed and the evidence destroyed. It is a masterful and scholarly exposE of the hitherto revisionist history of the Holocaust committed in wartime Yugoslavia.- --Jerome B. Gordon, author, The West Speaks; senior editor, The New English Review -In this intriguing and vivid study, Raphael Israeli delves into the case of genocide in the days of World War II Yugoslavia. The Death Camps of Croatia offers an intricate research strategy to expose and verify the scope of the Nazi-allied Croatian massacre of Serbs, Jews, and gypsies, while the Catholic Church provided religious legitimization for this horrific campaign of mass murder. Israeli traces the steps and connections in this orgy of hatred, flowing from the Balkans to the Middle East, with Islam as a religious catalyst, to destroy the Jews in Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia. This book discloses a hidden history, exposes the politics of Croatian denial, and seeks through the compelling evidence to launch a move toward admission, confession, and reconciliation among the peoples involved. Here then is a worthy and important scholarly contribution, written in the flowing style of Israeli's previous books, to the elucidation of evil and destruction in the Nazi era of modern history.- --Mordechai Nisan, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
