July 3, 2001 Letters to the Editor New York Times 229 West 43rd St New York, NY 10036-3959 FAX. (212) 556-3622 To the Editor: The removal of Holocaust artifacts from the
Ukraine discussed in your op-ed piece (“The Wrong Way to Protect the Jewish
Past,” July 3rd) is not the only scandal of this nature facing major Holocaust
museums today. In November 2000
the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. cut a deal with the
unelected Premier of the Serbian Republic in Bosnia, Milorad Dodik, which
improperly transferred Holocaust archives and artifacts out of Bosnia. At least 25,000 Jews and hundreds of
thousands of Serbs, Gypsies, and anti-fascist Yugoslavs were murdered at
Jasenovac by the Croatian Nazi wartime régime. That the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum now wishes to
transfer these archives this year back into the hands of a Croatian government
which is tied to and upholds the very same Nazi past is an outrage to Survivors
and another stain on the reputation of Holocaust institutions. Jim Yarker Administrative Director Jasenovac Research Institute To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
