The book “Crimes over Serbs in the great War” presented
At the Central Military Club of Serbia, a promotion was held by the book by Archibald Reiss, prepared for the publisher “Svet Knjige” by Prof. Dr. Miloje Prsic, military historian and retired colonel. The book that contains dozens of documents of Archibald Reiss, a great friend of the Serbian people, well-known and acknowledged criminologist from Swiss Lausanne, which indisputably prove Austrian, Hungarian and Bulgarian crimes over Serbs in the beginning of the Great War and during the occupation of Serbia was presented by: reviewer Dr. Jovo Pejin, editor Stevo Cosovic, and Dr. Djordje Lopicic, retired ambassador and arranger.The book contains 58 documents, Reiss’s reports and texts published in the European and American public which, alongside 78 photographs, daringly proved Reiss’s claim that the war against the Serbian people “overcomes all war so far for its cruelty and wrongdoings. The published documents tell about the demise of the Serbian people in interment, about the ban on Cyrillic writing in occupied territories, about the forceful mobilization of Serbian civilians for the Central Forces, about the extinguishing of the Serbian language, culture and national symbols, breaking of the international law of war… With his documents, Reiss confirmed the genocidal character of the Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian occupation of the Serbian state, proved that the horrendous crimes were committed over the Serbian people, and not over captive members of the military. The Austro-Hungarian military did not take Serbian prisoners. After the defeat in the Battles of Kolubara and Cer, the Austro-Hungarian military adopted the rule to kill each Serbian soldier, without taking prisoners.
The researches of Archibald Reiss and the documents he published horrified the European and international public for several more years after the war, and then the world forgot about the suffering of the Serbian people; the history began repeating itself, and a monstrous propaganda has achieved that, to this day, one hundred years since the beginning of the Great War, the initiators and planners of the war against Serbia have been trying to find the victim to blame for the conflict of planetary proportions. Stressing that one million and three hundred thousand Serbian victims of the Great War do not allow for the history to be remodeled, the arranger of Reiss’s book Dr. Miloje Prsic warns that new times bring new challenges for the Serbian people; challenges whose most important constant is the disfavor and lack of understanding of the greats for the interest and rights of small nations.
