dbpprop:abstract
  • Dinko Šakić was a convicted Croat war criminal, who was one of the leaders of the army of the fascist Independent State of Croatia (NDH) during World War II. He was born in Studenci, in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1921. He commanded the Jasenovac concentration camp at one time. After the defeat of the Axis forces, he emigrated to Argentina. Having been tracked down by the Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff, the District Attorney in Zagreb brought charges against Šakić on April 20, 1998 for war crimes during World War II when he was the chief of the Jasenovac concentration camp. Dinko Sakic was a part of the panel of the "mobile martial-court" that committed investigations under means of torture at Jasenovac. Sakic took part in the torture of Remzija Rebac, who led, along with Dr. Milan Boskovic, a group of 20 internees that organized an uprising and stole corn. Rebac was tortured with a flamethrower. Sakic ordered the group executed by hanging during a camp "public performance" (general muster) on September 21, 1944. Primorac Silvestar asked one of the inmates, Hadzija, whether he forgave him. Hadzija said he never will, and Silvestar answered: "until we meet again in the other world". Dr. Milan Boskovic asked to be shot in the head, facing his death, instead of being hanged.. Sakic also ordered the hanging of Dr. Marin Jurcev, the manager of the Ustase hospital, which aided a defected Ustase to smuggle information of Jasenovac to the partisans, his wife and three internees held in the village of Jasenovac were hung . Mrs. Jurcev had to be pulled to the scaffold by her hair since she fell off three times. Sakic set and watched the hanged bodies with interior minister of the NDH, Andrija Artukovic . Food quality became worse after these executions. Sakic also ordered the reprisal against inmates in June 1944, in light of the escape of Ivan Wollner, who played the orchestra for the red-cross delegation, and feared for his life. He then fled (or, alternatively, taken by the Ustase) to Dubica, where the Ustase garrison caught him and beat him to death. After the retrieval of his body to the camp, a muster of the Jewish inmates was held in front of a machine-gun, during which 100 Jews, who lived in the same barracks with Wollner or played in the orchestra with him, were selected. By utilizing a record called "the directory", Sakic himself selected 25 inmates to be taken to the "Zvonara", where they were put in solitaty, starved and tortured. Šakić was extradited from Argentina, found guilty by a Croatian court and sentenced to 20 years in prison, which was the maximum penalty under Croatian law at the time. On July 20, 2008, Dinko Sakić died in hospital at the Remetinec prison in Novi Zagreb at the age of 86. Simon Wiesenthal Center director Efraim Zuroff complained to the Croatian president Stjepan Mesić about Šakić's funeral. At that funeral, Croatian Dominican priest pater Vjekoslav Lasić held a speech in which he said that "the court that indicted Dinko Šakić indicted Croatia and Croatians", and that "every Croat should be proud of Šakić's name". He also claimed that Independent state of Croatia (NDH) formed a ground for establishing modern state of Croatia.
