Serbian Association of Norway's 1st Conference on Jasenovac, “The Auschwitz of the Balkans”

The 27th of January, the day of the liberation of Auschwitz, was chosen by the UN for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. As part of this annual observance, the Serbian Association of Norway will be commemorating the hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews, Roma and others, the innocent victims of Jasenovac and other death camps of the Nazi Ustaša-regime. We wish to make the Norwegian and international public more aware of this little-known chapter of the 2nd World War, by presenting prof. Gideon Greif’s book, “Jasenovac, Auschwitz of the Balkans”. Professor Greif will be accompanied by the Lithuanian theatre regisseur, Karina Cheshuiko, who has been working with this in an artistic way, and the Norwegian historian, Knut Flovik Thoresen, who has 14 publications and books about military history and World War II. This conference aims to honor the memory of the victims at Jasenovac, which was the largest concentration camp in Europe not operated by German Nazis. It had 700.000 victims, and was the third largest concentration camp in Europe, in terms of the numbers killed. Only Auschwitz and Treblinka had more. But in terms of the horrors and cruelty towards the innocent victims, it is unparalleled in human history. In its special camp for children alone, more than 20.000 children were killed; meanwhile 366.000 other prisoners of Jasenovac, were liquidated at nearby Donja Gradina. 75 years on and still the souls of the innocent victims of Jasenovac haunt the Balkan hills. The right words and time to properly heal the griefs and sorrows has not been granted; thus many of them have never found their rest. Those sorrows are passed from generation to generation, reviving the old wounds of the dead. Sadly, the grief often only meets silence and omissions from historical maps. The Serbian Association of Norway wishes to honor these seldom-heard victims; let them get the opportunity to address an international audience; help them find rest on the Balkan hillside. We wish to pave the way for new generations who, through a culture of remembrance, may learn tackle the sorrows of the past in an honorable and peaceful manner.
