Default Holocaust Revisionism Widespread in Croatia, Warns Report

Holocaust Revisionism Widespread in Croatia, Warns Report

25 Jan 2019

The Holocaust Revisionist Report, a study examining how individual European Union states deal with the legacy of WWII crimes, which was published on Friday, lists Croatia as one of the most problematic countries in Europe in terms of historical revisionism.

The report, published by the Holocaust Remembrance Project and based on work by researchers from Yale and Grinnell Colleges, says that Holocaust revisionism is worst in the EU’s newer Central European members - Croatia, Hungary, Lithuania and Poland.

“Holocaust memory in Croatia is troubled,” the report says, pointing to the continued use of the wartime Croatian fascist Ustasa movement’s salute, the Croatian government and the Catholic Church’s ambiguous attitude to the country’s Holocaust legacy, the controversies surrounding the Jasenovac concentration camp and the publication of books that play down the death toll at the camp.
