Quotes
"The Ustaša movement is based on religion. Therefore, our acts stem from our devotion to religion and the Roman Catholic church.", the chief Ustaše ideologist Mile Budak, 13 July 1941.

"The descendants of those who hated Jesus, who condemned him to death, who crucified him and immediately persecuted his disciples, are guilty of greater excesses than those of their forefathers. Greed is growing. The Jews who led Europe and the entire world to disaster - morally, culturally and economically - developed an appetite which nothing less than the world as a whole could satisfy ... Love has its limits. The movement for freeing the world from Jews is a movement for the renaissance of human dignity. The all-wise and Almighty God is behind this movement.", Franjo Kralik, published in one of Ivan Sarić's Sarajevo diocese newspapers, Katolicki Tjednik (Catholic Weekly).
