Croatian Jews, Serbs, anti-fascists, Roma gather at the Croatian WWII death camp Jasenovac

On April 12, 2019, a diverse assembly of Croatian Jews, Serbs, anti-fascists, and Roma convened at the site of the Croatian WWII death camp, Jasenovac, for a poignant act of remembrance. United in their decision, they held their own commemoration, boycotting the official ceremony for the fourth year in a row. This collective stance against the official proceedings stems from a deep-seated frustration with the authorities’ perceived indifference towards the country’s nostalgia for its pro-Nazi past. By organizing an independent event, these communities aimed to honor the memory of the victims while emphatically rejecting any glorification of the fascist ideologies that led to such atrocities.
