III Philosemites

This only adds to the poignancy of an article in the Belgrade weekly "Duga" in 1991 by Maja Zrnic entitled "Geca Kajmakcalanac":
"The question of Milosevic's house in Dedinje suddenly became a live issue when Serbian Renewal Party member Zoran Horvanused the parliamentary rostrum for the statement that in a genuinely democratic milieu there would be good grounds for resignation in the fact that fifty years after the Nazi program the President of the Republic (of Serbia - author) had acquired the villa and estate in Dedinje once owned by Geca Kon, the biggest Serbian publisher".

Geca Kon was a renowned Belgrade publisher and book shop owner, and with five thousand titles was the biggest publisher between the first and second world wars in Yugoslavia. As a member of the Jewish people he was killed in 1941, but there is no reliable information about his death. According to some, he was shot with the first Jews in Belgrade, while others say that he was killed in the concentration camp in Graz, as Maja Zrnic claims in the "Duga" article.

This article seems to have strayed by accident into the powerful propaganda machine with its carefully worked out theses according to which there are no dark corners in the history of the Serbs, who are the only "historically guiltless" nation in the world. As a result of this, the Serbian propaganda machine managed to convince at least a part of world opinion that the history of Serbia was characterized by entirely amicable relations with the Jewish people. If this were really the case, it would have been impossible for there to have appeared in the official mouthpiece of the Serbia Orthodox Church, "Orthodoxy" (Pravoslavlje) on January 15, 1992, an article entitled "The Hebrews once again crucify Christ" in which the following can be read:
"Christianity, the only religion that really came into being in Jerusalem will soon, as it seems, be completely driven out of Israel. Many Israelis hate Christianity to such a degree that it is almost sick. Among ordinary people this hatred is quite open. Politicians are more devious and work covertly. They known - the Christian countries gave them a state... All Israel town-planners often have tremendous problems; not a single road junction is allowed to have the shape of a cross. Take a look at the plans of the cities! Few, very few, Jews will admit this, with sneers and indignation... In their struggle against Christianity, the Jews assisted the Persians so that they could more easily conquer Jerusalem".

These excerpts from the article are written in a tone quite similar to that found in a work of bishop Nikolaj 49 years earlier. Bishop Nikolaj received a decoration from Hitler. Testimony as to this decoration was given by Nikolaj Velimirovic's close relative, a nephew, in a statement to the Belgrade press, which presented him to its readers in this way:
"Nikolaj's nephew, Tiosav Velimirovic, the well known Belgrade lawyer and judge, and once a colleague of ours, a journalist in 'Politika', now retired".

In an interview of some length Tiosav made the following statement:
"While he was Bishop of Ochrid, Nikolaj undertook various tasks for the nation and the church. He ordered, alongside the Serbian, a grave for the German soldiers in Bitola, which Hitler decorated him for in 1934.

Actually, the decoration that uncle got from Hitler was in the form of a cross, and honorary, given for civil, and not for any state, political or military services. The bishop never showed the decoration to anyone."

Bishop Nikolaj had enjoyed writing 49 years earlier in the following way: "... During the course of ages, they who crucified the Messiah, the Lord Jesus, the Son of God, made Europe into the chief battle ground for the devil and against God. And it is today the chief battle-ground of the Jews and of the devil the father of the Jews... Europe does not know this, and here lies all the desperation of its fate, the entire dark tragedy of its peoples. Above all it does not know whom it belongs to. It knows nothing but that which the Jews have ordered it to believe. It can judge of the value of nothing until the Jews have set up their balance for the measurement of value. Its politicians like sleepwalkers in their delirium talk of the equality (ignorance) of all beliefs and non-beliefs, that is, that which the Jews want and desire, because it is necessary for them to have legal equality with Christians, so that they can then drive out Christianity and have Christianity made non-believers, and place their foot on their necks.

All the modern catch-words of Europe have been composed by the Jews who crucified Christ, including democracy, and strikes, and socialism, and atheism and the toleration of all religions, and pacifism and universal revolution and capitalism and communism.

All these are the invention of Jews, or of the devil, the father of the Jews. But the wonder is that the Europeans, baptized and anointed, should have surrendered so totally to the Jews that they think with Jewish heads, accept Jewish programmes, adopt Jewish anti-Christianity, receive Jewish lies as truth, welcome Jewish catch-words as their own, walk along the Jewish road and serve Jewish aims. This is the thing to wonder at in our time, and nothing else in the world.

Everything else is less important or unimportant. But the most important thing is how Christian Europe managed to become the serving maid of the Jews... Think on these things, brother Serbs..." thundered Bishop Nikolaj in "Words to the Serbian people through the prison window from the Camp of Dachau". He spent a short period at Dachau, from the beginning of September to December, 1944. (Teodor Musiol, "Dachau 1939- 1945", Katowiche, 1968) as it was necessary for the Germans towards the end of the war for propaganda purposes. This book was published by the Serbian bishopric in West Germany in 1985. At that time the head of this bishopric was the present bishop of Sabac, Lavrentije.

That there is no need to doubt that Nikolaj spent time in Dachau, or that he was housed in comfortable quarters, we are informed by the "Herald of the Serbian Orthodox Church" in 1945, and by an orthodox priest in the article "Priests in the concentration camp of Dachau":
"An order was issued that the priests of all nations and confessions... should be used only for labour in the camp. (...)

An exception was made for His Holiness the patriarch of Serbia Gavrilo, for His Reverence Bishop Nikolaj... who were, until they were taken from the camp with other prominent figures to the Tyrol, housed separately from us in the so called 'bunkers of honour'". A high wall divided us from them, and we were forbidden to see them or meet them. They were allowed to wear their own clothing, they were neither shaved not cropped, and they were not driven out to work. There were about 50 or 60 of such prominent people, the high officials of various countries, who were living in the "bunkers of honour".

It is certainly difficult to estimate the level of racist consciousness (where anti-semitism is but one form of that awareness) in the present population of Serbia. But the "The Hebrews once again crucify Christ" article certainly does not argue for any great contemporary Serbian philo-semitism. Nor does the existence of the Serbian-Jewish Friendship Society, which came into being with the sole purpose of submitting to the world public "arguments about the fascism and anti- semitism of Croatia", according to which the Jewish people in Croatia were once again being exposed to genocide.

Just one of a whole series of examples of the current manipulation of this theme by Serbian politics was the "case" of the seventy year old Croatian woman Ankica Konjuh from Petrinja. This unfortunate woman died in unexplained circumstances during the course of the Greater Serbian aggressor's war against Croatia in Petrinja on September 13, 1991. Almost all the papers in Belgrade announced to the public that the first "Jewish victim had fallen" in Croatia. The Secretary of the "Serbian-Jewish Friendship Society called a Press Conference at which she announced, in spite of the quite opposing views of the Jews in Croatia themselves, that "The position of Jewish communities is very difficult. We are not sure what is going on in Zagreb... In everything that is going on, the position of the Jews is also extraordinarily difficult... In Zagreb armed Nazis are terrorizing the Jews, who have no recourse to the police for protection."

At the time when this statement was made, Croatian Jews were sitting with the Croats in shelters during the air-raids, and having to suffer Serbian aggression against Croatia. On the other hand, the Belgrade "Duga" No. 498, for March 27 - April 4, 1993, in the "Testimonies" section, carries an article by Milomir Maric, called "All the plots against the Serbs", in which Maric talks with the organizer of an anti- Masonic exhibition held in Belgrade between October 22, 1941 and January 19, 1942. In "Duga", the caption under photographs from the anti-Masonic exhibition, in which were exhibited caricatures making mock of Geca Kon, runs: "Symbols of fighters fallen in the battle against communists, Masons and Jews: the Anti-Masonic exhibition in Belgrade, '41/42". The subtitle reads as follows: "During the last half a century, the one time confidential colleague of Milan Stojadinovic and Dragisa Cvetkovic and Nedic's propaganda chief, Dr Lazar Prokic has forgotten himself to such an extent that he has given up his own Christian name. As a journalist working in the German radio station Dojce Vele (Deutsche Welle) ...he never had an inkling that in today's Serbia those ideas that he had unsuccessfully propagated during the second world war at the behest of the Germans would be so completely adopted and made so thoroughly at home. Still, he now feels a little robbed, when all the Serbs have finally understood that the international powers had really set themselves against poor forsaken Serbia in pursuance of the implementation of that hellish Masonic-Jewish plot against everything Serbian and Orthodox".

Organizer Lazar Prokic gives this as his excuse for the arrangement of the exhibition:
"...And the fact that there were among the killed and captured partisans in Serbia a fair number of Jews resulted in the exhibition having simultaneously an anti-Masonic, anti-Jewish and anti-communist character, which completely fitted in with the basics of German Nazi ideology ... In truth we could not complain about our Belgrade Jews. For the most part they were loyal, in spite of the fact that there were quite a lot of them in the ranks of the partisans... The Serbian State was then only assisting in the organization of the anti-Masonic exhibition, that is the State Propaganda Department and I myself... When I was offered this, I accepted at once, because I was at the First Boys' Gymnasium in Belgrade, at which at least a third of the pupils were of Jewish origin. I was friendly with them and made love with their girls. Now I was only put out by the fact that there were so many of them with the partisans while there were hardly any of them with Draza (Mihailovic, i.e. chetniks - author) ... I took upon myself the whole of the propaganda for the anti-Masonic exhibition in Belgrade in the name of the Nedic government..."

In this article, Prokic states that some of the elements of the new order of things had been "predicted by us Serbs when Europe was still looking for itself, when there was neither a great Germany nor a great France.

For the foundations of statehood in Europe were first laid by Stevan Nemanja, the foundations of modern nationalism in Europe first were laid by St. Sava, and the universal fight against communists was begun by us in the persecution of the Bogumils, while as for Jews we knew almost nothing of them right up to the time of Prince Milos, who forbade them to live in Belgrade".

The author of the article, setting out Prokic's biography, says: "Dr Prokic's career not only progressed rapidly... but he also got stuck in jail because of his pronouncedly pro- German writing in 'Signal', advertised as the only paper that called upon Yugoslavs to fight against marxism, masonry, Jewry and democracy, because they all polluted the racial purity of the Serbian national soul..."

In principle, concludes the author of the piece, "Dr Prokic has stood unwaveringly behind what he has during his lifetime spoken, written and done in public, working from the premise that the watchwords of the French bourgeois revolution glorifying liberty, equality and fraternity were fatal errors that the Jews and the Masons forced on credulous, so as to rule over the whole of humanity and in future to lay waste as they wished, for their own benefit inciting wars, political conflicts and massacres".
"They had taken everything from us, exploited our workers, debauched our daughters, violated our sisters, corrupted our politicians and public servants.
We put yellow bands round their arms, but we allowed them to take them off themselves..."

On Friday, April 2, 1993, Croatian Radio broadcast in the news for the broadcast "To Croats in Backa, Banat and Srijem" the following worrying news from its correspondent in Budapest, Ivo Kujundzic:
"On the political scene in Serbia at the moment popularity is enjoyed by people like the president of the Serbian Royalist Movement, Sinisa Vucinic, the leader of the para-military terrorist organization called "Serbian Falcons" (Srpski sokolovi). "The Duke", as he calls himself, stated that he is proud of being a fascist, and said on Radio B-92 that all members of ethnic minorities in Serbia are second rate citizens and should be forbidden any kind of political organization".

Stating that he hated Jews, Muslims, Croats, blacks, pacifists and communists, this Chetnik leader offered a recipe for compensating the customers of the "Jugoskandik" bank: Serbia should openly begin to "Seize the property of rich Jews and communists so as to help the afflicted people".
