@Lenard
..only 100 honoured?, out of how many million?
100 honourable Croats in WW2, yeah that sounds about right!, no offence to the small minority that weren't actual Ustashi butchers or just Nazi Croats in general
..how many thousands were and still are honoured today for taking part in the extermination of Serbs and Jews in the great Nazi State of Croatia during its golden era
(What difference does my name make!, 25 October 2013 08:48)

Lenard is speaking about the Righteous among Nations: http://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/righteous/statistics.asp

Not that easy to get up there. One had to go to extraordinary lengths to save Jews. Serbia for instance has only a few more than Croatia (139 versus 109), out of several million people. Not that it matters anyway, these were extraordinary people, very different from the majority of the population and cannot be taken as representatives of their nations.

Sorry Sugar Tits, but murdering 19,432 children in a specially designed death camp outweighs anything the voices in your head can concoct for Serbs. Get back to serving drinks at the hotel in Split you intern at.

And if you're going to serve people, learn English. Your writing is atrocious and your insults are repetitive.

Daniel, This article is about a brave Croatian woman who risked her own freedom and saved Children with the help

She wasnt Croat, she was an austrian married to a Serb or do you think Budisavljevic sounds like a croat surname?LOL

This is just a transparent attempt to counter Croatia's justified genocide case against Serbia. The timing of this award could not be anymore obvious. Serbia has great difficulty in being subtle.

==================================
What happened in the civil war in the 90s does not bare any resemblence to this. The only thing that does is the death camps for Jews in other places.

At least you are not denying what happened even if you are treating is lightly. Serbs have been treating this very lightly until now. It's time they made a great deal of noise and let the world know who Croatians were and still are.
You would love nothing better than for this to be burried and never spoken about again but the truth has a way of coming out oh so gloriously.

Did you not read the article? She was Austrian married to a Serb and living in Zagreb.
So how do you figure she was Croatian?

Sure, there are good people everywhere and of course there are good Croatians but we are talking about majority not minority.
Jasenovac was proof of how deep Crotians goodness went. Only so many had enough humanity in them to help here, the rest condoned it if not participated in it. Even your priests and nuns had bloodied hands after killing Serbs. That's a fact.

I just wonder why Lenard and Bambam are not commenting this article that shows the true nature of the croat "civilization". The worst butchers and barbarians in the history of mankind. Killing one month old babies is something that only a croat and a german would be proud of.

She would then hand the children over to Croatian families to avoid them being taken back to the camps. Their are over 100 Croatians honoured in Israel as the righteous for saving Jews also. The Serbs repeated their war mongering criminal fascism again in the 1990's against dozens of nationalities in former Yugoslavia. That 96% of the indicted war criminals are Serbs of ex Yugo and that is only scratching the surface. Their are Serb criminals still in all levels of institutions running around in Serbia and in half occupied country of Bosnia. In the so called "Srpska entity" aka http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia_in_the_Yugoslav_Wars Greater expansionist war criminal Serbia in Bosnia. May all the innocents rest in peace until the great day of God righteous judgments.

Daniel, This article is about a brave Croatian woman who risked her own freedom and saved Children with the help of Croat villagers who took these Serbs in despite the fact that it didn't make them popular with the Ustase. Now some of those kids are still alive today and all you can think about is how Croats are the worst. All people have good and bad among them. If people would recognize that there is good and bad in all of us, their lives and life in the balkans would be better. Vecnaja Pamjat and Vecnaja Slava to this brave woman who worked to preserve the lives and culture of our Serbs. May she find her reward in our Lord Jesus Christ's Kingdom

BTW, what prevented Josip Broz (Tit) from bestowing the honor? Seems that many Serbs still cherish the guy. For what? And, BTW, the late Jovanka's maiden surname was Budisavljevic.

a total of 19,432 children aged from one month to 14 years old were murdered in the notorious Jasenovac concentration camp in the 1941-45 period. The vast majority of them were Serb children, and most of the others were Roma and Jews.

(tm, 24 October 2013 13:40)

Better than 61 years late. Besides, people have been awarded posthumously or not for acts of bravery and heroism during WWII all the time in many countries. And let's not forget that praise like this would never have come from SFRJ, so you can lop off 45 of those 60 years. As far as I'm concerned, the horrors of Jasenovac and the NDH should never be forgotten.

We must remember the mistakes in the past so that we don't repeat it again. So forgive we might, but forget never!!!!It's never to late to acknowledge a good deed, it's important that the person was recognised of doing a heroic act which save thousands of lives.

All of these articles on WWII only stir up issues of terrible tragedy and injustice concerning all countries that did horrible crimes against innocent citizens. It is time to let WWII go and stop giving medals, and celebrating it. It is nothing to celebrate and nothing to talk about anymore. It is sickenng to reminisce it because all countries are quilty of their own atrocities.
