PART TWO of the U.N. Document.

Click here to see the introduction and part one of the document.

Note that here presented U.N. documentation talks about events from May 1992, only days after new "Independent Bosnia" was declared by the United States of America. The ethnic cleansing, rape and torture of the Serbs started right away! To this day [January 2004] there is no word from the Western "democratic" media of just who started all of the horror in Bosnia.

The golgotha of the Serbs in Ustashi concentration camps in Odzak, Bosanski Brod, Slavonski Brod, Orasje and Donja Mahala began on May 8, 1992 and continues to date (August 1993). It is hard to describe in one place everything that happened in those places of torture of the Serbs and even harder to make a synthesis of the documents and testimonies about the orgies of Ustashi criminals. In brief, in these camps, Serbs were the victims of various crimes at the hands of the Ustashi, the aim of which was the psychological, physical and biological annihilation of the Serb entity in the region of Bosanska Posavina. Methods were employed characteristic only of fascism and racism, methods after which any idea of any possible joint life with even the farthest removed kin of the Ustashi monsters was ruled out altogether.

While the inmates were being tortured in camps, their property was being looted. Everything the Serbs had brought with them and left on the cattle market in Odzak was plundered and driven away to the Republic of Croatia...

...

The horrors the Serbs went through in Ustashi camps testify to unseen brutality. Following is a systematization of the crimes committed only on the basis of facts collected and established so far:

1) The accommodations in camps were such that they did not provide even a minimum of living space for so many people. In the camp in the elementary school in Odzak, for instance, there were 0.4 square meters of space per inmate where he stayed all day and night. The camp premises were stuffy. In Bosanski Brod, in a camp located in a storehouse of building materials the inmates stayed all day and night under the eaves, exposed to rain, strong sunshine, insects, rodents, drafts, cement dust and other pollutants.

2) Sanitary conditions were below the bare minimum. The inmates had no change of clothes for several weeks and some even longer. They could take no baths except be given them as a form of maltreatment. Frequently they were prohibited from using the toilet which forced them to use pails which they found themselves in the compound. These pails sometimes remained there for days giving off a foul stench and the Ustashi criminals called it a stink characteristic of "Serbo-Chetniks".

3) The inmates were tortured by hunger and thirst, ... They were often given food whose shelf life had expired and, to quench their thirst, polluted water full of sand, due to which many inmates got ill, especially of enterocolitis and dysentery...

4) The inmates had to greet every camp officer and other "officers" of the Croatian army or members of the Ustashi - fundamentalist paramilitary formations with the Ustashi greeting "Ready for the Homeland!". They forced inmates to sing Ustashi songs for nights on end, standing on their feet and they had to write these songs and learn them by heart...

5) Bathing was organized for the inmates in the yard of the camp only to humiliate and torture them. The naked inmates were made to go out of the camp premises and a fire engine was waiting for them in the yard. In a column, one by one they had to stand in front of the engine and they were hosed down by cold water under strong pressure. Many of the inmates, exhausted by torture and hunger would fall down under the impact. There were many sick inmates for whom bathing in cold water spelled danger, especially in the described cruel manner. The Ustashi often took out women together with the men for such and similar "baths".

6) In the camps the Ustashi organized what are known as camp weddings. The first "wedding night" was accompanied by guitar music played by an inmate. Under the direction of the Ustashi criminals the "bride and the bridegroom", who were chosen from among the ranks of the prisoners, had to be as incongruent as possible physically, in age, height, educational background and similar. At gunpoint they had to engage in sexual intercourse in front of the Ustashi. Dragomir Nesic from Novi Grad was subjected to this form of criminal humiliation. The woman who was forsed to be the "bride" in this criminal Ustashi orgy lost her mind afterwards.

7) The crimes of rape of Serbian women, girls and children were horrific. Such crimes were committed on a mass scale in Novi Grad, Bosanski Brod and some Croatian villages of the Odzak commune. The forcing of the inmates to sexual and other forms of perversions and sado-masohistic abuse of Serbian women was real hell, on which there are numerous and irrefragable testimonies.

8) Threatened by weapons the inmates were forced to beat one another and slap one another in the face... For (Ustashi) a particular source of pleasure was to roll-call entire Serbian families and force them to beat each other unconscious... ...A specific form of torture was the forcing of inmates to line up, take a running start one by one and collide head-on with the wall or the school backboard. They had to do that until blood started spurting from their broken heads.

9) The inmates were forced to dig trenches in front fighting lines in the areas of the communes of Bosanski Brod and Orasje for the needs of the regular army of the Republic of Croatia and for paramilitary Ustashi-fundamentalist formations. Many lost their lifes or were severely wounded during such forced labor. They were also forced to do following:

• to climb out of the trenches during actual fighting and shout abuse and curses at members of the Army of the Republic of Srpska
• to pull out, from the line of fire, during artillery shelling, killed fighters of the Army of the Republic of Srpska and to watch their dead bodies massacred
• to pull out of line of fire, also in the thick of fighting, wounded and killed Ustashi.

10) The most imployed form from a multitude of forms of systematic annihilation of Serbs in the camps, was endless and brutal battery, to which many succumbered. The beatings took place every day, and as a rule, lasted at least until the beaten inmate fainted. The beaten inmates would be returned to the camp premises bloodstained, swollen, black and blue from the hitting, with smashed heads, broken limbs and ribs, ruptured kidneys and chests, mutilated and totally exhausted.

To these brutalities we should also add the individual acts of the Ustashi which make one's hair stand on end:

• forcing inmates to lick their own blood or the blood of their co-sufferers from the floor of the premises in which they were beaten or from the ground
• firing from weapons above the heads of the inmates
• pointing an empty pistol or gun at their temples and pulling the trigger, in order to frighten them, and putting the barrels of firearms in their mouths with the same purpose
• forcing the inmates to lick clean the muddy boots of their Ustashi torturers
• playing with a knife around the throat, eyes and ears of the inmates, carving the Ustashi symbol "U" on their chests, backs and foreheads with a knife, deliberately stabbing and scarring with a knife the palm and backs of inmates, threatening that their genitals would be cut off, setting dogs on naked and beaten inmates, biting off the ears of a a previously battered inmate which the Ustashi did with their own teeth
• hanging inmates on hooks in meat curing sheds to be "cured", while the Ustashi sat in the yard and caroused
• tying up inmates' testicles by wire and then hitting the testicles with a hard object, with the inmates being gagged so that the terrible wails of the tortured would not be heard
• ... ... ...
• drilling of the inmates' heads with a power drill
• throwing victims into wells
• killing elderly, sick and infirm victims by stoning
• raping a mother in front of her 16 years old son
• killing an inmate for having informed the International Red Cross team that the Ustashi were hiding women and girls in camp
• ... ... ...
• pushing truncheons up a woman's vagina and anus after she had been raped by 40 (forty) Ustashas
• slitting the throats of inmates completely debilitated and weary from permanent torture
• ... ... ...
• forcing inmates to confess to crimes they never committed in front of foreign TV companies.

The Ustashi in the camps continuously engaged in these acts of brutality, as a rule with even more passion after the camp had been toured by representatives of the International Red Cross....

...

The inmates who survived have given shocking testimonies of the horrific dimensions of the crimes committed.

The Croatian population in the area, themselves frightened at the scale, brutality and methods the regular army of the Republic of Croatia and Ustashi-fundamentalist paramilitary formations employed in the committing these crimes in Bosanska Posavina and the commune of Odzak, and fearful at the same time that the army of the Republic of Srpska might possibly retaliate for the crimes committed - left this area en masse and crossed to the territory of the Republic of Croatia. This was however, used by the European Community and the "architects" of the New World Order to accuse the Serbs in the former B&H of ethnic cleansing (of) the Croatian population...

The shocking testimonies of the physically and mentally destroyed Serbs, devastated by the unparalleled brutality of torture at the hands of Croatian fascists and Islamic fundamentalists, are a grave warning to European peace-makers. The warning is that after these ordeals, even if only those in Bosanska Posavina are taken into account, the Serbs will not take anymore the kind of political and military pressure that has been brought to bear on them from Europe and the world should at long last clearly see, on the basis of what have been presented, that genocide had been planned and executed over the Serbs. As shown, the Serbs were victims of concentration death camps of the Ustashi and the fundamentalists which were in no respect second to the concentration camps of their models - Pavelic's Independent State of Croatia and Hitler's Germany.

And indeed, the figures themselves testify to this. According to the data collected and available so far the Serbian population in the area of Odzak lost 102 people in the 1991 war. By May 10, 1993 758 Serb civilians and prisoners of war, monstrously tortured in Ustashi concentration camps had been exchanged: See annex 2, 3, 4, ....

Here is where our retyping ends. We only got to page 32, in the document which is 212 pages long... Witness accounts were presented in the document - at length. To read them is devastating...

The chapters that follow have titles:

Page 33:
DESTRUCTION OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE SERBIAN PEOPLE, OF CULTURAL - HISTORICAL MONUMENTS AND PLACES OF WORSHIP IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ODZAK

page 36:
MASS DESTRUCTION OF SERB VILLAGES, PLUNDERING OF SERB PROPERTY AND USTASHI CRIMES

This chapter contains... a long list of documents: Ustashi correspondence, detailed statements (names, places, retold events) of the survived Serbian civilians (20+ pages), lists of killed Serbs, missing Serbs (all from the commune of Odzak), men, women... young and old.

1. Killed before the war started - 5 Serbs
2. Killed while defending the Serb village of Novi Grad - 9 Serbs
3. Killed at the village of Novi Grad during Ustashi occupation - 5 Serbs

KILLED IN CAMPS:

• a) "Stolit" of Odzak - 3 Serbs
• b) Odzak Elementary School - 4 Serbs
• c) Novi Grad Elementary School - 1 Serb
• d) Bosanski Brod - 17 Serbs
• e) Orasje and Donja Mahala - 9 Serbs
• f) At Gornji Svilar-Kadar - 6 Serbs
• g) Gnionica - 7 Serbs
• h) Josava - 9 Serbs
• i) Jezero - 6 Serbs

Again, in the above lists - names, last names, date of birth, date of murder - is all provided.

Then there is the list, and essential information on the perpetrators of the atrocities (to follow),... the exchange lists,...

What really touch us was the list of persons who died AFTER the exchange as a result of camp terror. Freedom came too late for these poor souls. We'll retype this list in its entirety:

1. Mirko Dragic, from Donja Dubica, died on October 30th, 1992
2. Radivoje (Mirko) Dragic, from Donja Dubica
3. Stevo Maric, from Donja Dubica, died on April 26th, 1993
4. Ljubo Boz"ic, died on November 4th, 1992, at Maglaj
5. Stanko Milosevic, from Josava, nervous breakdown in camp, died upon being released
6. Mitar (Savo) S"is"ljagic, from N.Grad, tortured at the camp, died upon being released

On page 114 starts the list of interned civilians. This list contains quite old people like:

• Ostoja Kovacevic, born 1910 from Novi Grad (#63 on the list)
• Branko (Mile) Djakovic, born in 1912, Novi Grad (#37 on the list)
• Ljubomir (Djoko) Bogdanovic, born in 1913, Novi Grad (#48)
• Predo (Tomo) Slijepcevic, born 1915, Donja Dubica
• Rade (Risto) Bogdanovic, born 1918, Novi Grad
• Branko (Petar) Vidovic, 1919, Donja Dubica
• Vid (Jovo) Nedic, 1919, Novi Grad

What monsters would put in concentration camps even such old people?

Of course, much more numerous is the list of those people who were born in 1920's and 1930's. All of these people clearly remember the first wave of Ustashi atrocities from the time of Hitler. In early 1990's these same people, the unslaughtered survivors, were exposed to some of the same atrocities - thanks to George Bush and the gang that rules America.

And there are still lots of those empty heads who say that history of 50 years ago does not matter.
