REPORTS OF THE PROVINCIAL COMMISSION FOR DETERMINING THE CRIMES COMMITTED BY OCCUPIERS AND THEIR COLLABORATORS IN VOJVODINA IN THE REGION OF SREM WITHIN THE INDEPENDENT STATE OF CROATIA (1941–1945)
Abstract: This paper presents the contents of reports prepared by the Provincial Commission for Determining the Crimes Committed by Occupiers and Their Collaborators in Vojvodina in the region of Srem during World War II (1941–1945), specifically the administrative unit of the Grand County of Vuka in the Independent State of Croatia. The Provincial Commission identified several groups of mass crimes, which were compiled into reports by the Inquiry Commission for Srem based on methodologically consistent researches conducted by local, municipal, and district subcommissions (statistical councils). A special expert team from the Inquiry Commission for Srem investigated crimes committed against cultural and historical monuments. Additionally, a joint expert team examined the role of ethnic Germans (Volksdeutsche) in mass crimes in Vojvodina, including Srem, while another expert team investigated the crimes committed by the occupiers and their collaborators against Jews in Vojvodina, including Srem. These reports, comprising over 2,000 pages in A4 format, were published in the series "Crimes Committed by the Occupiers and Their Collaborators in Vojvodina" between 2011 and 2021. A comprehensive analysis of this archival material leads to the conclusion that the Independent State of Croatia, with the support or tacit approval of Nazi Germany, carried out and executed genocide against Serbs, Jews, and Roma in the region of Srem.
