CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST VATICAN BANK ALLEGES COMPLICITY IN HOLOCAUST ERA WAR CRIMES
December 17, 1999 Kiev, Ukraine: Two Ukrainian organizations, The Ukrainian Union of Nazi Victims and Prisoners and The Organization of Antifascist Resistance Fighters, representing over 300,000 Ukrainian World War II victims of Nazi and Fascist aggression announced the filing of a class action lawsuit alleging complicity in war crimes by the Vatican Bank and the Franciscan Order. The lawsuit was filed on November 15, 1999 in the United States District Court in San Francisco, California. Case No. C 99-4941 MMC.
This class action on behalf of former Soviet citizens, Jews, and Yugoslavs, is based in part on a 1997 U.S. State Department Report which linked the disappearance of the treasury of the Nazi satellite state of Fascist Croatia to the Vatican Bank and Roman Catholic Church Officials. The Fascist Croatian state is credited with murdering over 700,000 Serbians between 1941 and its demise in 1945. The Serbs were brutally liquidated in a state sponsored killing spree aimed at cleansing Croatia of adherents to Eastern Orthodox Christianity and the foundation of an ethnically pure, Roman Catholic state. Prime movers in this ethnic cleansing were militant Franciscan monks, many of whom held military and civil commands in wartime Croatia.
The Ukrainian organizations allege that Croatian army, navy, and air force divisions assisted the German Army in occupying Ukraine during the war. The Croatian forces also participated in the well documented, systematic looting of Ukraine by the Nazis. The suit seeks to recover a percentage of the Croatian hoard estimated to have been worth as much as 180 million dollars in 1945.
Recent books, including the best selling “Hitler’s Pope” and a soon to be released Argentine government report, firmly link Vatican organizations to the Fascist Croatian state and subsequent disappearance of its treasury following the Nazi defeat.

Too bad there is no NDH, and today's Croatia has been led by a man who fought NDH in WW2. Today's Croatia is not responsible for the misdeeds of the Ustashe. Today's Croatia is partly based on the goals of ZAVNOH, the Anti-fascists that fought the Ustashe. Sorry, too little, too late.

Strange, is it April? I could have sworn that it was April fools. Oh well. Boy did I read this post with amusement. Wow one regiment stole how much? 140 million dollars? Lets not forget the airforce of how many planes? A staffeln and the one or two minesweepers. I am surprised that there is 140 million dollars worth of stuff to steal in the Ukraine. And I am touch that the Serbs care so much for other stolen property. This must be a first! but one thing left me wondering, why did you not post this in the Ukrainian newsgroup? And why do you anti-NATO freaks and new world order trust the American legal system for your grievances. What a matter with filling it in Ukraine or Russia? Well I guess this is a nice time water to occupy your time with. God forbid you dedicate some energy to actually solving real problems in Serbia. But I can't complain. Nothing we Croats love more then seeing you guys make fools out of yourselves and digging your own shelf deeper and deeper in shit. Keep digging, its a long way to china!
>Today's Croatia is not responsible for the misdeeds of the Ustashe.
Today's Germany paid more than 100 billion Deutche Mark to the relatives of the Hitler's victims and victims (Jews) alone. Willy Brandt knelt in Auschwitz apologizing to us for the crime that today's Germany did not do!

<Quotes>
During April 1941, I was travelling from Belgrade to Zagreb. The war against Yugoslavia had been over for several days, the Free State of Croatia was just born; Ante Pavelic was ruling in Zagreb with his ustashi bands. In all the villages large portraits of Ante Pavelic, Poglavnnik of Croatia, were posted on the walls, along with the notices and decrees of the new national Croatian state.
.... It was curfew. Patrols of armed peasants knocked at the doors of Jewish homes for the evening checking, calling out names in monotones. These doors were marked with a red Star of David. The Jews came to the windows and said, "We are here, we are at home." The peasant shouted "Dobro! Dobro!" and banged the butts of their guns on the ground.
...... "The Croatian people," said Ante Pavelic, "wish to be ruled with goodness and justice. And I am here to provide them."
While he spoke, I gazed at a wicker basket on the Poglavnik's desk. The lid was raised and the basket seemed to be filled with mussels, or shelled oysteers - as they are ocassionally displayed in the windows of Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly in London. Casertano looked at me and winked, "Would you like a nice oyster stew?"
"Are they Dalmatian oysters?" I asked the Poglavnik.
Ante Pavelic removed the lid from the basket and revealed the mussels, that slimmy and yelly-like mass, and he said smiling, with that tired good-natured smile of his, "It is a present from my loyal ustashis. Forty pounds of human eyes."

What are your moral norms, comrade commisar? Too little? Too late?

Here is a text describing you and your tribe of butchers verry well.
Pavelic's Picture and Other Stories
Ugonostalgia in Vodinci, the Village with Triple U
by Drago Hedl Feral Tribune, 1/30/95, Split, Croatia
``I do not see anything contraversial in naming my restaurant ``U". ``U" can stand for ``ugostiteljstvo" [hotel business] and ``usluga" [service] or anything else beginning with an ``U", although to some people that ``U" can mean only one thing. Why does not anybody question why a hotel in Zagreb is named ``I" ," asks thirty years old Zeljko Petricevic, the owner of restaurant ``U" from Vodinci, a village near Vinkovci [town in eastern Croatia]. His restaurant's name became more familiar after the logo, consisting of a capital letter U and a Croatian coat of arms appeared several times on the advertising pages of a Vinkovci magazine, ``Hrvatski Vjesnik" [Croatian Messenger], also known because of its motto:`` Serbs, be damned wherever you are", displayed on the front page.
`` Yes, I used to sponsor Zvonimir Sekulin, the editor of ``Hrvatski Vjesnik", but I have ceased to support him. Actually, I could not afford to pay DM 200 for every issue," says Petricevic. `` And as for your question whether I had any problems about the restaurant's name, I can simply reply: no, none at all. The road maintenance company from Vinkovci was the only one to demand I remove the billboard next to the street within three days. They did that last year, but I told them to remove the sign themselves if it bothers them. As you can see, nobody came to remove the sign. Nevertheless, they sent the financial police and fined me DM 12,000; that might have happened because of the restaurant's name. This country is still run by the communists and such things are possible."
Seks will Do It
Jure Brkic, Zeljko's best man, owner of a restaurant named ``U2", located a few hundred meters further up the street, says he pondered over what to name his restaurant. He had, he says, different ideas, and then it seemed logical that if Zeljko's restaurant is named ``U", his should be named ``U2". He knows that is the name of a rock band, but that did not motivate him to name the restaurant.
Jure finds nothing scandalous in the names of his and Zeljko's restaurants. On the contrary, he believes it is a scandal that the memorial to the antifascist fighters fallen in the WWII still stands in the neighboring village of Stari Mirkovci.
`` That is why they put the county seat in Stari Mirkovci, instead of here. Because Stari Mirkovci is, unlike Vodinci, a Partisan village, so they are still privileged, as during the last 50 years", says Jure Brkic. `` We complained to Vladimir Seks [Governor of East Slavonia] and demanded that the county seat be moved to Vodinci and he promised to do everything in his power to fulfill our demand.
Between Zeljko Petricevic's restaurant ,``U", and his best man Jure Brkic's ``U2", on the village's main street was until recently located a third restaurant, owned by Zeljko's brother Zdenko; The main street used to bear the name of Partisan Stanislav Lehota, but is now named after Josip Juraj Strossmayer. The third restaurant had a name ``Poglavnik" [term corresponding to Fuhrer in Croatian fascist terminology], and the billboard above the street entrance was adorned by Ante Pavelic's likeness [leader of the Croatian fascists during the WWII]. Together with the owner's name, Zeljko Petricevic, bar's name ''Poglavnik" and Pavelic's picture, the text on the billboard also included: Vodinci, NDH [ Nezavisna Drzava Hrvatska, Independent State of Croatia, Nazi puppet state during the WWII on the territory of Bosnia-Hercegovina, most of Croatia and parts of Serbia].
Mercep's Beer
Jure Brkic says that Zdenko Petricevic did not have any problems because of the restaurant's name. He has actually, as did Zeljko and Jure, legally registered the restaurant's name with Tomislav Berkovic of the hotel and restaurant business regulatory office in Vinkovci. The reason for ``Poglavnik"'s temporary closure is that Zdenko is due to some problems, says Jure Brkic, incarcerated in Germany and had sold his restaurant to a Swiss gentleman married to a Croatian citizen.
`` Ante Dapic, a Parliament member and the president of the Croatian Party of Rights, especially liked to stop by my brother Zdenko's restaurant ``Poglavnik" ," tells us Zeljko Petricevic. ``It is a pity Zdenko is not around to show you the photos and video recordings. I should not complain either. Without exaggerating, at least a half of the present members of the Croatian Parliament have visited my restaurant ``U". They all had a good time and liked the atmosphere; only Tomislav Mercep complained that the waiter gave him a warm beer. And it was warm because we had not had electricity for three days before that; they are always connecting and reconnecting something around here."
Zeljko says he is sorry he does not know where a portrait of Ante Pavelic, ``a beautiful work in oil by a German painter from 1942," ended up; the painting used to hang in his brother Zdenko's restaurant, ``Poglavnik". He is also fond of Pavelic's portrait which he displays in his restaurant, ``U". Poglavnik's portrait in pastel has been done specially for Zeljko, by Vlatko Kordic, also known as Smuk, which in these parts of Croatia is a synonym for a person fond of a bottle.
Jozo Ustasha's Present
`` I have been offered SF 1000 and DM 1000 and once even DM 3000 for that painting. But I am too fond of it to sell just like that," explains Zeljko Petricevic. His restaurant is closed until 4pm and since we spent the morning in Vodinci, Zeljko fulfilled our request and showed us the interior. Pavelic's picture dominates the space next to the bar and the picture of Ban Jelacic [Croatian 19 century leader] is right next to it. A ceramic tile with the Croatian coat of arms and a large black ``U" is also there; it is a gift and bears a dedication from ``Jozo Ustasha" [Ustashe were Croatian fascists] from Donji Miholjac. That kind of tiles used to be produced for a special customer [ during the WWII ] in the Ceramic tile factory in Orahovica, near Slavonska Pozega.
`` Jozo does not even know that I hung up his present with the dedication right next to the Poglavnik's portrait," says Zeljko. `` He will be very happy when he stops by next time and notices that."
Zeljko says another restaurant, named ``Mladost" [ Youth ], used to be at the same place as his restaurant, ``U". His mother managed the restaurant. When the war in Croatia started in 1991, Zeljko was among the first to join the Croatian National Guard. Restaurant ``Mladost" remained closed for a while and when he left the Croatian army in the spring of 1992 (``I left when the ones now parading with memorials and ranks started to put on the Croatian Army's uniforms") he was overcome by ugonostalgia; consequently, he decided to take up restaurant business. That is how he opened the restaurant, naming it ``U".
`` Hundreds and hundreds of cars have stopped by the sign advertising my restaurant on the main road. Many had themselves photographed with the sign for a souvenir. I do not see anything wrong in that."
These two men (Peric, Siljkovic) are the two primitive Croatian propagandists who aren't capable of comprehending the reality of the matter described in that article.
Just another proof that the Croatian language has no notion of shame.

Sourced Research Document taken for fair use . Tuesday, April 01, 1997
And the TRUTH IS:
MYTH: "THE BASKET OF HUMAN EYEBALLS."
Myth: The Croatian wartime Chief-of-State Ante Pavelic routinely maintained a basket containing twenty kilos of human eyeballs at his desk side.
Reality: This statement is literally a work of fiction taken from the novel Kaputt by Curzio Malaparte (Kurt Suckert, also known as Gianni Strozzi). The book was written as fiction, sold as fiction, and is catalogued in every library in the world as fiction. To cite Kaputt as a source about World War II is analogous to citing Gone with the Wind as an authoritative history of the American Civil War.
That this tired tale is still being retold is the second most amazing part of this myth. More amazing is that anybody, no matter how blinding their hatred of Croatians, could believe it. And yet this myth was quoted as fact as recently as 1991 in official publications printed in Belgrade by the Ministry of Information of the Republic of Serbia and repeated by naive journalists in Britain and North America.
Kaputt the myth survived and was given renewed life by the Serbian government, journalists, and politicians because it came with quotation marks. The legend had a footnote, a citation, an author, and all the trappings of fact. The author was often cited as "the most famous Italian writer," "the Italian journalist" and even the "famed Italian historian," Curzio Malaparte. His famous quote from the 1946 English translation of the novel Kaputt reads:
While he spoke, I gazed at a wicker basket on the Poglavnik's desk (Poglavnik was Ante Pavelic's title). The lid was raised and the basket seemed to be filled with mussels, or shelled oysters -- as they are occasionally displayed in the windows of Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly in London.
Casertano looked at me and winked, "Would you like a nice oyster stew-!
"Are they Dalmatian oysters?" I asked the Poglavnik.
Ante Pavelic removed the lid from the basket and revealed the mussels, that slimy and jelly-like mass, and he said smiling, with that tired good-natured smile of his, "It is a present from my loyal ustashis. Forty pounds of human eyes.
Kaputt and its author both had fascinating stories to tell. In the original press release for the book, Malaparte claimed that the manuscript was started in the Ukraine in 1941 and smuggled throughout Europe in secret coat linings and in the soles of his shoes. Finally, the manuscript was divided into three parts and given to three diplomats, to be reunited in 1943 on Capri where it was finished.
The book chronicled Malaparte's movements around Europe in 1941 and 1942 when he visited every front and knew every head of state, usually on a first name basis. Malaparte apparently spoke every language and shared the charms of every beautiful princess on the continent. According to his own preface to Kaputt, his personal friendships with Mussolini, Hitler and others did not save him from being thrown into jail in July 1943 for being anti-German. Miraculously, he was soon freed and was working for the Allies by September of that year. It was while working as a propagandist for the Allies that Malaparte completed Kaputt, a book that he described as "...horribly gay and gruesome."
The critics agreed. Malaparte's two major books, Kaputt and Skin were labelled "Best selling Nausea" by Time magazine which christened Malaparte as "...a sort of Jean Paul Spillane." Malaparte's writings contained page after page of sordid tales about the evil world of Fascist Europe. Malaparte's basket of human eyeballs must be taken in context, as Time magazine wrote in 1952:
He shows mothers who sell their children into prostitution; but then, says Malaparte with a smirk, there are also the children who would gladly sell their mothers. He dwells for part of a chapter on a street peopled with twisted female dwarfs, who fed, he asserts gleefully, on the unnatural lust in the American ranks. Another chapter is concerned with a visit to a shop that sells blonde pubic wigs. U.S. soldiers, Malaparte explains, like blondes.
These offensive themes only scratch the surface of Malaparte's sick writings. That the Allies won the War through the devices of a "homosexual maquis," flags of human skin, and an Allied general who served his guests a boiled child are all included in Malaparte's fare.
Suckert-Malaparte-Strozzi
"Malaparte" himself was an enigma. He was born Kurt Erich Suckert in 1898 in Prato, Italy of Austrian, Russian and Italian descent. He attended the Collegio Cicognini and the University of Rome. He joined the Fascists at an early age and soon became the darling of the Fascist Propaganda Ministry where he wrote glowing volumes and even a work of poetry in praise of Mussolini. He served as a journalist for Corriere della Sera and travelled to Ethiopia in 1939. What happened after that depends upon which "Malaparte" is read. The world-travelling statesman fictionalized in his novels spent the war years in almost constant meetings with the likes of Mussolini, Count Ciano, Ante Pavelic and the rich and powerful of Europe. Interestingly, Pavelic's name was misspelled "Pavelich" (harder sounding ch instead of softer sounding ch) in all of his writings. Later, Malaparte claimed to have been one of "three Italian officers who organised the Italian Army of Liberation which fought for the Allies." After the fall of Mussolini he began writing under the name Gianni Strozzi for the Communist daily L'Unita. That year he applied for, but was refused, Communist Party membership. Still later, he went to work for the Allied Fifth Army Headquarters as a minor liaison officer. Just as he had served the Fascists and the Communists, Malaparte sought to ingratiate himself with his new masters. "The American Army is the kindest army in the world...I like Americans...and I proved it a hundred times during the war...their souls are pure, much purer than ours," Malaparte gushed. In November of 1952 a far different Malaparte wrote that in fact he had fallen out with Mussolini in 1934. Not only did he never meet most of the great leaders he wrote about, he admitted: "In 1938 I still remained under police control and was put in prison as a preventive measure every time a Nazi chief visited Rome...and from 1933 until the liberation, I was deprived of a passport..."
Once called "Fascism's Strongest Pen," Malaparte angered Hitler with a book written in 1931 about the techniques of the coup d' etat. He was jailed by Mussolini from 1933 to 1938 and kept on a very short leash for the remainder of the Fascist era. Title Italian Defence Ministry did confirm that he once served as a liaison officer to the Allies, but flatly denied that he had anything to do with organising Italy's Army of Liberation. A prolific author of short stories and fictionalized accounts of Fascist victories, Suckert-Malaparte-Strozzi did interview Ante Pavelic during the War. The interview recounted in Kaputt, in Pavelic's office, was recorded on film. There is no basket or any conversation regarding a basket to be seen.
After the War, Malaparte continued to write, as well as direct and produce movies, and was active in the Communist Party. In the spring of 1957 the Party sent him on a comradely visit to China. Shortly after his return, he died on July 19, 1957. An enigma to the end, the viciously anti-Catholic Malaparte renounced Communism and converted to Catholicism on his deathbed. Later, Malaparte's friend and fellow journalist Victor Alexandrov let it be known that Malaparte had admitted the story was fiction. Thus Curzio Malaparte and his unpleasant

He earned his B.A. in history at the University of the Pacific in California, his M.A. in Croatian history and Certificate in Soviet and East European Studies at John Carroll University in Ohio with Phi Alpha Theta Honors in History and Delta Tau Kappa Social Science Honors and as an American Bar Association Scholar.
Following advanced study of comparative politics and ideologies as a Carthage Foundation Scholar at the University of Colorado and studies in Croatian ethnicity at California State University, San Jose as a Sourisseau Academy scholar, he joined the University of San Francisco in 1979 where he completed course work for the Doctorate in Education with an emphasis in post-secondary organization and leadership.
He has published seven monographs, six chapters, and one hundred and twenty-five articles in the areas of Croatian and South Slavic studies. In addition to some one hundred lectures, symposia, and keynote addresses in Europe, North America, and Australia, including the University of Zagreb, Inter-University Centre of Dubrovnik, Macquarie University in Sydney, and the University of New South Wales, he wrote, directed and read a weekly radio program, "Moments in Croatian History," broadcast on twenty North American and Austra-lian stations for fifteen years.
McAdams has been affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies, the Association for Croatian Studies, the Croatian Academy of America, El Instituto Croata Latinamericano de Cultura, Gemeinschaft zur kroatischer Fragen, the Organization of American Historians, and other professional and scholarly organizations.
written by famous C. Michael McAdams! Who knows who is Mr. McAdams at all? A primitive propagandist who just parroted his croatian employer.
My poor friend, Curzio Malaparte's masterpieces belong to the European classics along with Balzac's, Boell's, Dostoyevskii's, ...
McAdams knowledge of the European history and literature is at the level of a librarian or a book seller in some remote and forgotten Balkans' village.
By the bye, why not to ask Mr. McAdams to support that famous Barry Marjanovich's finding - the croatians discovered America far before Columbus did it!?
Robert you are wasting your time with this anti-Croat Parrot. He has either taken the position of 'Devils-Advocate' or he has a deep sited personal problem with Croats not for what they the Croats did but for what he perceives them to be as he sees them through the tunnel of anti-Croat propaganda, manufactured history and one-sided written material that emanates mainly from the post WW ll Yugoslavia's capital Belgrade. He does not recognise any historical study that shows Croat's in good light or Croats majority as anti-fascist. He does not recognise the fact that majority of Croats regard the past deeds by the Croat fascist with humility and shame. He wishes to paint all Croats with the same brush persistently and all the time. It is not clear why he does it? But it is just possible that his father who fought in the French Foreign Legion may have poisoned his views and sown the seed of hate into this child. His father did the wrong thing in the FFL and was severely punished by his comrades who were Croats which he probably never forgot or forgave. I don't know the full story but it had to do with gold, and cowardice. Perhaps Ephraim195 should be able to enlighten us about his and his fathers background. Otherwise it is best to ignore him.

The Avalon Project : Nuremberg Trial Proceedings Volume 15
DR. EXNER: I should like to interrupt you a moment. In your diary Document Number 1807-PS, you write, on 12 June 1942- Page 119, second document book:
"The German field police disarmed and arrested a Ustashi company because of atrocities committed against the civilian population in Eastern Bosnia."
I should like to add here that this is noteworthy because this Ustashi company was something like an SS troop in Croatia and was fighting on the German side. Because of the atrocities, the German field police arrested this Ustashi company.
"The Fuehrer did not approve of this measure, which was carried out by order of the commander of the 708th Division, as it undermined the authority of the Ustashi on which the whole Croatian State rests. This is bound to have a more harmful effect on peace and order in Croatia than the unrest of the population caused by the atrocities."
Was this the incident of which you were thinking just now?
JODL: Yes.
DR. EXNER: Have you another example?
JODL: After the issuing of the Commando Order, I reported enemy violations of international law to the Fuehrer only when he would be certain to have heard of them through other channels. I reported cases of Commando undertakings and capture of Commandos only when I could be quite sure that he would hear of them through other channels. In this respect I did try to hold back any new spontaneous emotional decisions.

So, comrade commissar, you know how to correctly learn the croatian history? Just read "balanced opinions", or even

Good! The problem is quite simple. Firstly you have to explain how the testimonies of A. Arnon, H. Saltz, H. Neubacher were "emanated" from Belgrade? What made Generaloberst Alfred Jodl to write in his diary and testify the same,
"When unimaginable horrors committed by an Ustashi company in Croatia came to my knowledge, I reported this to the Fuehrer immediately".
You have to explain how Malaparte was influenced by Belgrade (during 1941-43) when writting his masterpiece "Kaputt". Tell us why there is no a serious man in Germany that ever denied Malaparte's horror story, equally horrific as the basket of oysters, about the Jews crucified (by the Germans) in the Ukrainian village Dorogo.
You have to explain why the German and Italian WWII military archives are full of data denying
>any historical study that shows Croat's in good light or Croats >majority as anti-fascist.
and why there are many prominent historians (Deschner, Cornwell, etc.), afar from any Belgrade's influence and not Serbs, Jews or Gypsies, denying
>any historical study that shows Croat's in good light or Croats >majority as anti-fascist.
Your tribe of butchers still believes - hire an "independent" liar, call upon his academic achievements and rewrite your (actually of your victims') history as you please.
Even worse for you, writing about the croats that discovered America far before Columbus did it, about "croatian" Nobel prize winners, etc. just make people to laugh at your tribe.
No way, you Hutu-croat idiot! I'm here to keep this mirror before the ugly face of your tribe of butchers.
I already posted many articles showing quite clearly that the ideology of your bloodthirsty ancestors is alive and practised in the today's independent statelet of croatia.

Pointing at somebody's behavior(fascism) is a fascism? How wise!

Much higher than the highest instance of the Croatian honor and morality that time! A proven historical fact! (Sorry about that.)

This "only" qualifier belongs to you. Don't generalize the things you hardly can comprehend and/or explain! For something like that a greater IQ is required than that you have!

I've no knowledge that atheism lacks the morality, per se. Never heard about the great morality of the Roman Catholic Church. Enlighten us, please!

I suppose you read everything he (Deschner) wrote. I'm pretty sure that if these IBKA people quote A. Einstein, all his work will be announced worth nothing by the people of your IQ!

Sorry pal, I'm not a Christian at all! Thanks to be God! Meanwhile, enlighten us how all this beneath proves the great morality of the Roman Catholic Church! I wouldn't mind if you say anything bad about the Orthodox Christianity too, if it might help you to demonstrate the values of the Roman Catholicism. Would you like start with Stepinac's sainthood, for example?
