Nazi-hunter blasts Croatia's 'Auschwitz' museum

[oberliner]

ZAGREB (AFP) - The head of the Holocaust memorial group the Simon Wiesenthal Center criticized Croatia over a newly opened museum at the site of a fascist World War II concentration camp, in written comments.

"I saw an exhibition which was a big disappointment," Efraim Zuroff wrote in an article published in the weekly Globus.

"To my disbelief, there was not a single photograph of the commanders of Jasenovac," he said of the camp at which his organization estimates some 600,000 mostly Serbs and Jews were killed during World War II.

Zuroff said that any young visitors to the museum would "leave probably more confused then they were before" they visited an education center on atrocities committed at the camp by the "Ustasha" regime.

That's the orange checkerboard pattern. Color me un-surprised.
