Index.hr, Zagreb-based portal writes this and adds that Croatian Wikipedia cites as a relevant source Igor Vukics new book, Labour Camp Jasenovac

The meeting will take place in the town of Osijek, Croatia.

The goal of the meeting is to start talks on resolving the question of the missing persons and to focus on moving the problem from politics and into the civil and humanitarian sphere.

Croatian Wikipedia has again amended its entry on the World War II concentration camp at Jasenovac – naming it a 'collection' and 'labour camp' and again disputing the broadly accepted name-by-name list of victims.

"Two noteworthy events took place in Croatia during the past month that reflect in a very significant way on the phenomenon of Holocaust distortion, which is so rampant in post-Communist Eastern Europe," Zuroff writes, in an article entitled, "Failure to sincerely and honestly confront Ustasha crimes," and adds:

Rivlin and Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic on Wednesday visited the grounds of the former death camp for Serbs, Jews, and Roma, that was set up and operated during the Second World War by the Ustasha regime of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), a Nazi-allied entity.

Australian company Valley Eyewear removed footage of the memorial at the World War II concentration camp at Jasenovac in Croatia from a sunglasses advertisement after a public outcry.

Jasenovac was one of the extermination camps set up and operated by the Ustasha regime of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), a Second World War era Nazi-allied entity.

A collection of academic articles on World War II concentration camp Jasenovac is being published in a bid to counter “growing trends of historical revisionism” and politicised misuse of Croatia’s wartime past.

Wikimedia Foundation Inc did not reply to BIRN’s inquiries about entries on Croatian Wikipedia that downplay crimes committed at the Jasenovac concentration camp by Croatia’s WWII fascist Ustasa regime.

Serbs and anti-fascists will commemorate victims of the Croatian World War II concentration camp at Jasenovac on Saturday, boycotting the official state commemoration for the third year in a row.
