Nazi Hero?
By Micah Halpern

Saturday August 2, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

I was shocked to read of a funeral that took place in Croatia.
It was the funeral of a prisoner named Dinko Sakic.
Sakic was convicted of being Commander of Jasenovac, a concentration camp, during World War II.

The Nazis created a puppet state in Croatia and called it The Nazi Allied Ustasha Regime.
Sakic was 87 when he died and was serving out his sentence for war crimes committed as supervisor of the camp.

Dinko Sakic was buried in his Ustasha uniform.
The priest who conducted the burial called Sakic a hero and a role model and a "person Croats must be proud of."

Dinko Sakic was a mass murdered.
He died in prison and deserves a proper burial - something he personally denied most of his victims - but Sakic should never be made into a hero.
To call Dinko Sakic a hero is to whitewash history.
