Sarajevo’s new mayor, Benjamina Karic, laid wreaths at the Jasenovac Memorial on Thursday on the 76th anniversary of the liberation of the Jasenovac concentration camp, which was run by the Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia (NDH) during WWII.
“Fascism is an unsurpassed evil! All the cruelty of this evil was felt by the people of Sarajevo twice in the last century,” Benjamina Karic wrote on Facebook.

“The Holocaust and genocide are universal tragedies and crimes. It is our civilizational and human duty to pay tribute to the victims and thus also send a message about how important it is to be reminded of such crimes, so that they would never happen again to anyone,” she wrote.
She noted that Jasenovac primarily represents a place of suffering for Serbs, but that Jews, Roma and “all those who opposed the fascist regime” were also killed in the death camp.
“There are no criminal nations, there are only crimes and everyone should be held accountable for the crimes they committed. Differences between people, cultures, nationalities should be respected, communicated and learned, and in no way should it be allowed for them to be the cause of crimes against people,” she wrote.
