Article: Jews as the "Insatiable Parasites"
In February 1942, Interior Minister Andrija Artukovic made an important policy speech to the rubber-stamp NDH parliament, called the Sabor. After running through a list of triumphant achievements, Artukovic devoted the bulk of his speech to the issue of the "Jewish Question." His reasoning - that the Jews created Communism to take over the world and destroy gentile nations, and that Jews and Communists are thus indistinguishable from one another - should be familiar to anyone who has read the speeches of Goebbels or any other Nazi ideologue. A transcript of the speech, upon which this translation is based, was published immediately thereafter in Narodne Novine, the official gazette of the NDH government, leaving no doubt that Artukovic's views had official sanction.

 

...Immediately after the founding of Yugoslavia, all the enemies of the Croatian people - the Jews, the Communists, and the Freemasons - united with those of to so-called "Piedmont of the Balkans" [Serbia] in order to destroy the Croatian people and suppress all national aspirations.

In the life of Yugoslavia, it was the Jews - who worked for and prepared the world for revolution - alongside their two most important international allies - the Communists and the Freemasons, who especially distinguished themselves. These three national groups have attempted with all their might to destroy everything Croatian they could find.

They tried to win our intelligentsia to their side and isolate it from the Croat people, either through subterfuge - that is, flattering them with titles, lucrative positions among them - or by force. They tried through different organizations and offices to estrange the Croatian youth from the religion of their fathers and from the family hearth, and to get the workers into so-called "unions" which fought on a class basis, to estrange them from their own people and turn them against one another.

First, it was the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and, later, the United Labour Socialist Federation of Yugoslavia, that tried to mislead the Croatian worker and set him against his own people. They tried to impoverish and humiliate the peasant, in a state of financial dependence and beggary, in political chaos and cultural darkness, in order to be able, at any given moment, to trade him away, to barter on his sentiments like he was a bale on the exchange.

All this was done by the Jews, one of the most dangerous international syndicates, in order to achieve the goals of World Jewry, readying the world for the revolution by which the Jews will gain full mastery over all material possessions of the world and all the power in the world, when other nations will serve as a means to their dirty profits and their insatiable greed and ravenous thirst for control.

International Jewry was aided in this fight by two other international syndicates: the Communists, who preached the gospel of their proletarian state, and the Freemasons, who preached the gospel of their fraudulent "enlightened spirit," their "love for their fellow man."

The Jews were to achieve these aims relying as much on their own international affiliations as that possessed by the Communists: because Communism is the child of Jewry and one of the principle levers by which the Jews aim to take control of the world. The Communists wanted to destroy the leadership of individual nations and take power in the name of the workers. But these workers were, of course - had to be - led by the Jews, which is exactly how it was.

Through various organizations, the Judeo-Communists tried to bring about the disintegration of the Croatian national body, to kill the aspirations of its youth, the love for family and the homeland, to stir up hatred between the classes and to enslave the peasantry in such a way that the peasant loses all self-awareness, the knowledge of what it is to be Croatian.

The Croatian people, having re-established the Independent State of Croatia, could do nothing else but to clean off the poisonous and insatiable parasites - Jews, Communists and Freemasons - from their national and state body.

They have strangled the Croatian people and retarded all sectors of their national life, destroying and poisoning not only family life, their beliefs, their morals, their culture and their youth, but also that vital national spirit, Croatian self-expression, Croatian self-consciousness. The Independent State of Croatia, led by the Ustase, finding itself in a state of siege and self-defense against these insatiable and poisonous parasites, has indeed settled the so-called Jewish Question through resolute and sound actions.
