Summary/Abstract: During WWII the German fascists committed genocide against the non-Germanic peoples, especially the Jews. Many innocent people were expelled from their homes, physically and psychologically tortured, and a great number of them were hanged or burned alive. During the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina a far more atrocious genocide was committed against the Bosniaks. The Serb nationalists mercilessly persecuted the Bosniaks, tortured them in concentration camps and prisons, and killed them in large numbers. The only crime of the Bosniaks was that they were “guilty” for being who they always were - Bosniaks, and because, in terms of their religious conviction, they considered themselves Muslims.
