This document summarizes the history of Croatia welcoming foreigners into their country while secretly robbing and attacking them. It describes how robbing foreigners was considered a patriotic duty for centuries. In modern times, Croatian officials publicly welcome tourists at the border but the document suggests they are still secretly attacking and robbing foreigners for profit. The prime minister's welcoming speech is seen as insincere and part of a trap to lure naive tourists into the country to be robbed.

Chapter 2: DRAWING THE COLOR LINE
A black American writer, J. Saunders Redding, describes the arrival of a ship in North
America in the year 1619:
Sails furled, flag drooping at her rounded stern, she rode the tide in from the sea.
She was a strange ship, indeed, by all accounts, a frightening ship, a ship of mystery.
Whether she was trader, privateer, or man-of-war no one knows. Through her
bulwarks black-mouthed cannon yawned. The flag she flew was Dutch; her crew a
motley. Her port of call, an English settlement, Jamestown, in the colony of Virginia.
She came, she traded, and shortly afterwards was gone. Probably no ship in modern
history has carried a more portentous freight. Her cargo? Twenty slaves.
There is not a country in world history in which racism has been more important, for so long a
time, as the United States. And the problem of "the color line," as W. E. B. Du Bois put it, is still
with us. So it is more than a purely historical question to ask: How does it start?—and an even
more urgent question: How might it end? Or, to put it differently: Is it possible for whites and
blacks to live together without hatred?
If history can help answer these questions, then the beginnings of slavery in North America—
a continent where we can trace the coming of the first whites and the first blacks—might supply
at least a few clues.
Some historians think those first blacks in Virginia were considered as servants, like the white
indentured servants brought from Europe. But the strong probability is that, even if they were
listed as "servants" (a more familiar category to the English), they were viewed as being different
from white servants, were treated differently, and in fact were slaves. In any case, slavery
developed quickly into a regular institution, into the normal labor relation of blacks to whites in
the New World. With it developed that special racial feeling—whether hatred, or contempt, or
pity, or patronization—that accompanied the inferior position of blacks in America for the next
350 years —that combination of inferior status and derogatory thought we call racism.
Everything in the experience of the first white settlers acted as a pressure for the enslavement
of blacks.
The Virginians of 1619 were desperate for labor, to grow enough food to stay alive. Among
them were survivors from the winter of 1609-1610, the "starving time," when, crazed for want of
food, they roamed the woods for nuts and berries, dug up graves to eat the corpses, and died in
batches until five hundred colonists were reduced to sixty.
In the Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia is a document of 1619 which tells of
the first twelve years of the Jamestown colony. The first settlement had a hundred persons, who
had one small ladle of barley per meal. When more people arrived, there was even less food.
Many of the people lived in cavelike holes dug into the ground, and in the winte ...

Anthony Dragan. Vinnytsia: A Forgotten HolocaustВасиль Петренко
52-page Anthony Dragan Vinnytsia: A Forgotten Holocaust in pdf. Five excerpts can be read below:
1. After the mass arrests, relatives tried to secure some measure of "justice", but seeking "justice" in this system was in and of itself a crime. And so they did what they could — they kept vigil at the prison walls, went to the NKVD offices, and in their naiveté, even went so far as to write to Stalin himself, asking him to help them in finding and freeing their relatives. But in ninety nine out of a hundred cases, the response was that those arrested had been sentenced as "enemies of the people" and sent to far-off camps, "without the right to correspond". Some 10 thousand of these "enemies of the people," sent off to far-away camps, "without the right to correspond," were found, with their hands bound behind their backs and their skulls crushed, in the mass graves of Vinnytsia.
2. Out of the 169 female corpses that were exhumed, 49 were completely nude. According to the report of the medical commission, these were all women of young age, as were the majority of female corpses that were clad only in long shirts. This suggested, and was later borne out in testimony, that these women had been raped prior to being executed. Only the corpses of a few older women were found fully clothed. There were only a few cases where the female corpses were found with their hands bound.
3. All of the exhumed corpses showed signs of having been shot, most of them in the back of the head. The cause of death could not be determined only in those few cases where the corpse was damaged in the process of being exhumed. In most of the cases, bullets were found still embedded in the skulls. Many bore signs indicating that more than one bullet had been used: 6,360 victims were shot twice; 78 victims were shot three times; and two victims were shot four times; the remainder were either shot once, or the number of shots could not be determined. Some of the skulls were either bashed in or showed signs of having received severe blows, most likely, with a pistol. Some of the corpses had been shot in the forehead or in the temple.
4. As for the place of execution, the reports of the commission concurred with the accounts given by witnesses that, except for a very few, the victims were not executed at the site of the burial. This was confirmed by the absence of cartridges at the sites. The fact that few cartridges were found, and that only a few corpses were found on top of piles of clothing beneath which lay hundreds of corpses, indicates that only a few victims were executed directly at the burial spot.
5. The Nazi crimes have been investigated and documented by the Nuremberg Trials. Some of the countless crimes perpetrated by the Communist regime under Stalin's dictatorship were condemned by his own "advisers" and henchmen after his death.

1. Willkommen
By: Jagoda Radojcic
'Hello, I'm the Croatian prime minister and I wish you a pleasant stay in our country!'
This was a shocking sentence our prime minister, accompanied by the minister of
tourism Damir Bajs, used to greet foreigners arriving in our country and heading
towards the Adriatic at the paytolls in Lucko last summer. My heart skipped a beat.
For God's sake, it has been only two decades since our liberation, have our officals
already forgotten that fighting against foreigners is at the core of our national being?
Welcoming them like this can only be done by someone who has forgotten about our
love of freedom and independence. Erase the thousand-year fight against foreigners
trying to get hold of our wealth (the Romans, Illyrians, Avars, Tatars, the Turks,
Serbs, Hungarians, Germans, Italians, the French, the Russians..) from our history,
heritage and collective memory, and what's left? A mere shell deprived of any
meaning whatsoever.
After I started to think about high treason, newspaper articles covering the stay of the
aforementioned foreigners in Croatia caught my attention: Hungarian tourist attacket
in Sibenik; Italian citizen beat up; 22-year old Brit suffered major physical injuries in
Zadar; Slovakian girl raped; Vodice resident attacks a group of Serbian tourists; a
drunk Dutchwoman accuses local boys of rape in Hvar; a car with a Serbian licence
plate gets smashed in Rijeka; our boys attack a group of arrogant Slovakians, Irish
citizens get beaten up; a Czech acting group Stvanci gets banished from Croatia...
Well done! This is how you defend your country, The Croatians of today answeres
the historical call of their ancestors and headed to fight foreginers by all means
possible. And when the economic dimension of it all came to my mind, it was as if
someone removed a veil from my eyes, and my patriotic blood pumped harder: a
group of Slovenians robbed; a German citizen pays a vodka-tonic in a Split club 3
thousand euros; an Italian couple lost everything in their holiday; a yacht got stolen; a
camp-trailer got stolen; a Czech couple lose their car with all their belongings; a
careless Dutchman pays 20 thousand euros for a night out with his friends...
Hundreds of foreigners lose their assets in Croatia every day, and robbing them
becomes our speciality and a profitable business.
Since inhabiting these lands in the 7th century, the Croatians have developed a way
to make money out of foreigners who happened to pass by. They would set up a sort
of a trap in a convenient place, made for naive tourists to fall in, followed by our
ancestors ambushing them and robbing them of everything they had. This was
ethically justified by the fact that honest people sit at home, and the dishonest
wander about. For example, the inhabitants of the area around the river Neretva,
under leadership of prince Deodat robbed poor Italian tourists around 830, and it took
them an entire century to be seen near our coast again. Robbing Italian tourists is
prominent even in folk poetry. Similarly, it was common to rob Hungarian cattle
transports, or a silly Austrian who happened to stumble along somewhere. To rob a
foreigner was considered a highly patriotic act in the previous millenium, and
acquiring profit that way a perfectly legitimate act approved even by God (as they
would say at the time – 'he helped himself a little'). Prominent Croatian outlaws
became heroes of folk poems, and their endeavours inspired legends that are alive to
this day.
2. And what happened in the end? Our reputation started to spread unstoppably around
Europe. There wasn't anyone crazy enough to pass through here anymore. Our traps
remained empty for years, weapons became neglected, the outlaws let down their
guard, the robbers gained weight, and over time our national business was
jeopardized. Foreigners' passing through our country and our attacking their
caravans, kidnapping them and asking for ransom became a vital issue for our
survival. Croatia's best and brightest gathered to figure out how to solve this problem.
After long debates, they came up with two conclusions. Firstly, we mustn't rob every
foreigner that passes through our country, because we that will get a bad reputation
again. It's enough that we rob every fifth or sixth passenger, and when we are called
upon for it, we will call it an isolated incident and express our deepest regret over the
matter. Secondly, our prime minister will put a big smile on her face and, along with
her minister of tourism and a whole entourage of officials, will greet tourists at the
borders of our land and welcome them into our country. After the stupid fish believe
us and walk right into our trap, and until then.... Willkomen foreigners, willkomen.
