Motion picture “Dara of Jasenovac” is a testimony on the Holocaust in the Balkans from the perspective of an innocent girl. It shows strength of the human spirit amid the chaos of one of the most cruel times in human history. Available on Youtube 1080p res Image
As such this film w/ so much human pain is a memorial to all innocent victims regardless of their ethnicity or religion. The film is in Serbo-Croat but to get the point the translation, although it would be appreciated, is not essential. The eyes of little Dara say everything.
As a person of both Serbian and Croat origin, Orthodox and Catholic background, with great-grandparents who were German and Hungarian I don’t find it ethnically offensive but deeply spiritually cathartic. It’s not made for the glamour of the awards but as a testimony to truth. Image
The brutal violence may look offensive to many who like to see the life in its politically-correct and sanitized version. But despite the horror and pain it may act as an antidote that such and similar evils, and we had it enough in ex-Yugoslavia in the 90ies, never happen again.
If the film incites hatred in anyone’s heart one should know that one wouldn’t be able to feel it if we had it not in our hearts ourselves. The innocence & wordless tears of children facing the evils of human nature truly show that human love and faith in good are always stronger Image
As a concentration camp in which many Serbs, Jews, Roma, Croats found death the name of Jasenovac is not without reason placed on such a prominent place in Yad Vashem Memorial #Jerusalem en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasenovac… Yet so few know about it & its horrors. That’s the value of the film. Image
These original colorized photos of the Jasenovac camp victims, and many testimonies of survivors show that what we could see in the "Dara of Jasenovac" is not a sick fiction or a cheep political propaganda but an hommage to all its victims, especially its children.Memory eternal! ImageImageImage
There will aways be holocaust deniers or their (journalist mercenaries), fancy critics who will say that the film is bad. As any, it has its weaknesses but it does not diminish the power of the message it carries and the sincerity of its actors & producers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dara_of_J… Image
One of the persons in the film is Diana Obexer Budisavljevic who organized and provided assistance to mostly Serbian Orthodox women and children detained in the Ustaše camps saving more than 10.000 children en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Bud… A good documentary on her Image

1/ Iz proverenih informacija K.Policije i obaveštenih medjunarodnih saznao sam da ovo nije bio linč već zaista sukob dve grupe politički suprotstavljenih mladića. Prethodne okršaje imali su u četvrtak i petak i pored N. Rašića i drugi su povredjeni, a uhapšenih ima na obe strane.
2/ Nenad Rašić je neposredno nakon incidenta, koji je bio najavljivan preko društ. mreža prema proverenim izvorima sa k/alb liderima dogovorio spin o navodnom linču zbog političkih razloga i time obmanuo javnost. Nije prvi put da zbog političkih grešaka roditelja ispaštaju deca.
3/ To objašnjava i čudnu činjenicu da Nenad Rašić nije hteo da da izjavu za srpske medije već je potrčao k-albanskim koji su sa zadovoljstvom prenelli laž kako Srpska lista navodno linčuje decu iz političkih razloga. Ko s djavolom tikvu sadi o glavu mu se razbijaju kaže naš narod

Iz pijeteta prema nevinim žrtvama našeg naroda, posebno u vreme 2.svetskog rata ali i u novija vremena ne smemo da izgubimo osećaj za žrtve i stradalnike drugih. Njih nije ubijao i mučio srpski narod već pripadnici jednog malignog režima i njegove nehrišćanske nacional-ideologije
Ćutanje pred zlodelima domaćih zločinaca, koji su u ime svog “srpstva” i bez vere u Boga nanosili zlo drugima, a mi to ovde na KiM i te kako godinama plaćamo nevinim žrtvama i spaljenim crkvama, čini nas saučesnicima ideologije koja je suprotna svemu čestitom u srpskoj istoriji.
Kada smo ovde u Dečanima digli glas protiv nasilja nad civilima bez obzira sa koje strane, mnogi su nas prozvali za izdajnike. Najbolji način da ispoštujemo sopstvene žrtve jeste da pokažemo saosećanje za nevine žrtve drugih. U protivnom svrstavamo se i sami na stranu zločinaca.

Duboko sam užasnut linčom oko 30 osoba Srba nad sinom Nenada Rašića srpskog političara na KiM. Ne ulazeći u Nenadove stavove, dete je prebijano metalnim šipkama, bokserima, izbijeni su mu zubi, unakaženo lice. Ovaj užasni zločin mora biti kažnjen. Ovi ljudi nisu Srbi već neljudi. Image
Pošto ima snimak nije teško pronaći počinioce. Užasava da u linču nad detetom što učestvuje, što mirno posmatra više mladih ljudi dok stariji histericno podstiču nasilje. Ovo je veliki greh koji svako normalan osudjuje. A ko je nalagodavac neka se istraži. kossev.info/pretucen-sin-n…
Ovo je toliko strašno i sramno da dobro treba da se zapitamo ko manipuliše mladim ljudima, ko premlaćuje neistomišljenike, da li treba nekog Olivera neko ponovo da kikvidira. Kada cemo se vec jednom suociti sa sopstvenim demonima a ne samo optuzivati druge. Krajnje je vreme za to
