Beskrivning

The Holocaust in Croatia recounts the history of the Croatian Jewish community during the Second World War, with a focus on the city of Zagreb. Ivo and Slavko Goldstein have grounded their study in extensive research in recently opened archives, additionally aided by the memories of survivors to supplement and enrich the interpretation of documents. The authors' accessible narrative, here available in English for the first time, has been praised for its objectivity (including rare humane acts by those who helped to save Jews) and is complemented by a large bibliography offering an outstanding referential source to archival materials. As such, The Holocaust in Croatia stands as the definitive account of the Jews in Croatia, up to and including the criminal acts perpetrated by the pro-Nazi Ustasha regime, and adds significantly to our knowledge of the Holocaust.

Recensioner i media

The authors document the destruction of about 80 percent of the Jews in the quasi-autonomous Independent State of Croatia. The pro-Nazi Croatian Ustashe movement imposed violent policies to cleanse Croatia of Serbs, Jews, and Roma (aka Gypsies).... The authors martial a vast array of primary sources, along with critical analysis of postwar works of Croatian Holocaust denial, especially after the fall of communism. Written in intimate detail, the book is an important source about a lesser-known corner of the Holocaust in the heart of Europe. Highly recommended.
