| Summary: | The paper examines the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Jewish community in a particularly important and traumatic time for Jews, i.e. during the establishment and consolidation of the new Ustasha government in the Independent State of Croatia in 1941. As the Catholic daily newspaper Hrvatski Glas (Croatian Voice) was published regularly from January to the end of August 1941, we will look for the answers to the following questions by analyzing newspaper contents: How does this Catholic newspaper deal with the Jewish question which became particularly relevant with the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia? Is anti-Semitism present in this newspaper and to what extent? Is it something imposed or can one conclude that the newspaper editorial team and the Ustasha authorities worked together in an informal manner? The comparative analysis will compare the anti-Semitic content of Hrvatski Glas with other Catholic media in order to find similarities and differences on the subject in a broader context. If we look at anti-Semitism within the scope of the entire Catholic press in the area of the Independent State of Croatia, we can see a multitude of possible reactions to the official anti-Semitism of the Ustasha authorities. This investigation shows that Hrvatski Glas belonged to the circle of newspapers that actively and unreservedly supported the anti-Semitic policies of the Ustasha government. |
