Sažetak
The Roma population today is one of the oldest minority groups in Croatia, bearing in mind their settlement in the second half of the 14th Century. The history of relations between non-Roma towards the Roma population in this area was marked by the period’s often intolerant and repressive policies state and local authorities towards them and this politics has aimed at their assimilation into the majority nation. One example of such a policy refers to the suffering of Roma in Croatia during World War II, when the pro-fascist Ustasha authorities committed genocide against them. For the purposes of this conference the presentation will be focused on the analysis of the repressive - assimilation model of Ustasha authorities towards the Roma during World War II. In this context, the paper will address questions of preparation and conducting prosecution, with special emphasis on the suffering of Roma in the Jasenovac concentration camp. In particular, it will analyze the question of the relationship of the civil non-Roma population in relation to the repressive policies of the Ustasha authorities towards Roma. This report is based mainly on unpublished documents from archives, museums and libraries in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
