| Summary: | Publications on genocides in Yugoslavia during World War II in the English language are scarce. At the same time, in the course of the past decade numerous publications in Yugoslavia dealt with war casualties and the victims of terror. In these, there were those whose tendency was to inflate or deflate the figures for political reasons. The authors of two significant statistical studies published recently On 1985 and 1989) arrived, independently of each other, at similar conclusions regarding the total losses, as well as losses by ethnicity and regions in Yugoslavia. Based largely on literature unavailable in English, the author describes the findings of those studies in terms of three separate genocides that occurred during World War II in Yugoslavia: the genocide of Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies; the genocide of Moslems in Bosnia and Herzegovina; and the “polrtidde” of the collaborationist forces by Tito's army at the end of the war. |
