Ustasha chants echo at sports venues and rock concerts. Analysts say the right-wing advance in Croatia — traditionally deeply split between left-wing and conservative traditions — has surged to its highest point since the country gained independence from the former Serb-led Yugoslavia in the 1991-95 war.

Yet this ostensibly straightforward signification masks a complex history composed of millions of individual stories, competing political and national narratives, and ongoing debates about memory, commemoration and heritage. While the sheer scope of Auschwitz might serve to legitimize the centrality of the term, its common usage also reduces the vastness of the Nazi enterprise to a singular narrative.

  • European Jewish Digest: Looking at the Headlines Across Jewish Europe
    EUROPEAN JEWISH DIGEST: LOOKING AT THE HEADLINES ACROSS JEWISH EUROPE VOLUME 2, ISSUE 6: JUNE 2015 1 / ISSUES CONCERNING ANTISEMITISM Violence, Vandalism & Abuse Instances of antisemitic vandalism and abuse occurred again in Greece in June. The disputed Holocaust memorial in Kevala (as reported in the May digest) was finally dedicated after the mayor agreed that no changes to the memorial were needed and it would be kept in its original location. However in his speech at the dedication, Panagiotis Sgouridis, deputy minister of rural development, was accused of abusing the memory of the Holocaust when he said that atrocities continue today including “the continuation of the extermination of the Assyrians by the jihadists, the invasion and occupation in northern Cyprus, the Kurdish issue, the blockade of Gaza, the genocidal dismemberment of Yugoslavia.” He added that monuments like this one was needed “because unfortunately many times the roles switch and the victims become bullies.” The memorial itself was then desecrated two weeks after its dedication, being covered in blue paint. In Athens, a memorial to the 13,000 Greek Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust was also desecrated with a Nazi swastika and SS insignia. The memorial is located next to a playground built in the children’s memory. In the UK, two Jewish men were allegedly racially abused and violently threatened. Whilst walking along the River Lea towpath in Hackney in London, a man approached the visibly looking Jewish males and allegedly shouted “f***ing Jews” before walking right up to the victims, saying “I’ll f***ing kill you” and “I’ll f***ing break your neck”.

  • Key Findings Many European Union Governments Are Rehabilitating World War II Collaborators and War Criminals While Minimisin
    This first-ever report rating individual European Union countries on how they face up their Holocaust pasts was published on January 25, 2019 to coincide with UN Holocaust Remembrance Day. Researchers from Yale and Grinnell Colleges travelled throughout Europe to conduct the research. Representatives from the European Union of Progressive Judaism (EUPJ) have endorsed their work. Key Findings ● Many European Union governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. ● Revisionism is worst in new Central European members - Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Lithuania. ● But not all Central Europeans are moving in the wrong direction: two exemplary countries living up to their tragic histories are the Czech Republic and Romania. The Romanian model of appointing an independent commission to study the Holocaust should be duplicated. ● West European countries are not free from infection - Italy, in particular, needs to improve. ● In the west, Austria has made a remarkable turn-around while France stands out for its progress in accepting responsibility for the Vichy collaborationist government. ● Instead of protesting revisionist excesses, Israel supports many of the nationalist and revisionist governments. By William Echikson As the world marks the United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, European governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. This Holocaust Remembrance Project finds that Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Baltics are the worst offenders. Driven by feelings of victimhood and fears of accepting refugees, and often run by nationalist autocratic governments, these countries have received red cards for revisionism.

    PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN BELGIUM 25th May 2014 European Elections monitor The Belgians are being called to the “election of all elections” on 25th May Corinne Deloy Translated by Helen Levy 8 million Belgians are being called to ballot on 25th May in what is called “the election of all elec- tions.” Indeed they will be electing the MPs, the Senators, and the regional representatives. Natio- nal MPs will be elected for 5 years (instead of 4 previously). The electoral reform which modified the federal electoral procedure is supposed to bring greater stability to Belgium. Analysis 129,139 Belgians living abroad are registered on the electoral rolls. Only 42,489 voted in the last parliamentary elections on 13th June 2010. Moreover polling stations will remain open for an extra hour, a measure allowed in the event of multiple elections. The elections on 13th June 2010 caused an electoral offer made by the N-VA”. “Placing the Socialist Party earthquake in Belgium.

  • BELGIUM 2014 International Religious Freedom Report
    BELGIUM 2014 International Religious Freedom Report Executive Summary The constitution guarantees freedom of religion and the law prohibits discrimination based on religious orientation. Some government policies and practices, however, placed restrictions on the Muslim community. Police continued to enforce a federal ban on face covering in public. Muslim women and girls were banned from wearing headscarves in many schools and public sector jobs. Some city and town administrations continued to withhold approval or were slow to approve construction of new mosques and Islamic cultural centers. The government continued to provide financial support for officially recognized religions and other groups, including Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, Judaism, and secular humanism. Unrecognized groups did not receive subsidies, but carried out activities freely and openly. In May four people were fatally shot at the Brussels Jewish Museum, an act deplored by leading government officials who spoke out against anti-Semitism in Belgian society. There were reports of increased anti-Semitic incidents during the summer in the wake of the conflict in Gaza. There were also reports of discrimination against Muslims in the labor and housing markets. U.S. embassy officers regularly met with government officials at the Ministries of Interior and Foreign Affairs, NGOs which monitor religious discrimination, and religious groups to raise awareness about religious freedom issues, particularly with respect to discrimination faced by Muslims in employment and housing and the recent increase of public expressions of anti-Semitism. Embassy officials remained in close contact with Muslim and Jewish community leaders to listen to their concerns regarding societal discrimination and increased challenges both groups are facing.

  • Investigation Into Red-Brown Alliances
    in Madrid, to overthrow the military dictatorship in Argentine, Perónist circles during that period were an odd conjunction of far-right anf far-left tendencies. Among Perón‘s contacts in Argentina was Joe “Jose” Baxter, a mysterious Yugoslav-born Argentine who in the mid-1960s An Investigation into became the leader of the Tacuara, a paramilitary neo-fascist Red-Brown Alliances sect with long-standing ties to the Argentine secret services. When Adolf Eichmann, who had been secretly living in Ar- Third Positionism, Russia, Ukraine, Syria, and the gentina, was captured by Israeli intelligence in 1960, Tacuara Western Left members went on a spree of anti-Semitic attacks and wrote vile anti-Semitic graffiti in Buenos Aires. After Eichmann’s execu- tion, Tacuara violence erupted again and they abducted Jewish Vagabond students and carved swastikas in their flesh. Around the same time as Thiriart’s shift leftward, Baxter shifted the Tacuara sharply to the Left and, with Perón‘s support, reorganized it into Argentina’s first urban guerrilla warfare organization. Many Tacuaristas, Baxter included, visited Havana, where they were trained into guerrilla maneu- vers, and reportedly the People’s Republic of China in 1965 as well. After Baxter returned to Latin America, the core ofthe Tacuara merged with various revolutionary groups to form the Montoneros, a left-wing nationalist group whose armed struggle paved the way for Perón‘s return to Argentine in 1973. The Montoneros, believing they were on the threshold ofa social revolution, had come to greet their hero on June 20, 1973, and claim what they felt to be their rightful place next to the platform where he was scheduled to address the largest pubic rally of Argentine history.
