Persecution of Jews

BELGRADE - Argentine archaeologists, on a private property in a forest about 60 km from any kind of civilization and the nearby city of San Carlos de Bariloche, found the grave of Adolf Hitler, reports Serbian daily "Kurir".

Over 3,000 buildings expropriated during WWII will be handed over to Serbia's main Jewish organisation after parliament adopted a law on the restitution of Holocaust victims' assets.

In a statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day, Aleksandar Vucic said Serbia will fight "always and consistently against fascism and fascist tendencies."

The country will do so in the hope that Treblinka, Auschwitz and Jasenovac will never be forgotten, the prime minister has been quoted by the government website.

January 27 is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the date the United Nations chose to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust during World War II.

The anniversary, which is marked each year since 2005, falls on the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland by the Russian army in 1945.

President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic visited the World Centre for Holocaust Research in Jerusalem and expressed her “deepest regrets” about victims of the Nazi-allied regime in Croatia in WWII.

French MPs on June 24 approved a landmark deal with the United States in which France agreed to pay $60 million in overall compensation to foreign nationals deported to Nazi death camps on French trains in World War II.

A large number of Greeks have limited awareness of the Holocaust or even hold anti-Semitic views, according to a new survey which traces the roots of attitudes to a strong sense of victimization among the public.

Eight NGOs and some 30 individuals issued a joint statement on Wednesday calling on Nikolic to apologise for making what they called "racist statements".

While marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day in Serbia on January 27, Nikolic questioned why millions of Jews were exterminated during World War II.
