Description	Jasenovac – istina (English: Jasenovac – The Truth) is a 2016 documentary film by Croatian filmmaker Jakov Sedlar. The film contends that the extent of The Holocaust in Croatia and the World War II-era genocide of the country's Serb population was exaggerated through post-war communist propaganda. It focuses primarily on Jasenovac, a concentration camp run by Croatia's wartime fascist Ustaše government where an estimated 100,000 are believed to have perished, and suggests that the actual death toll never exceeded 18,000. The film also argues that Jasenovac continued being used as a concentration camp by Yugoslavia's communist authorities well after World War II, and that more inmates perished when it was run by the communists than when it was run by the Ustaše.The film premiered in Tel Aviv in February 2016 and in Zagreb two months later. Its Croatian premiere was attended by Culture Minister Zlatko Hasanbegović, who is alleged to have made a number of pro-fascist statements in the past. The film was panned by scholars, journalists and politicians from the Croatian left, who accused the filmmakers of minimizing and relativizing Ustaše atrocities. It was also alleged that the filmmakers had fabricated or misrepresented a number of photographs, correspondences and newspaper reports seen in the film, as well as that they had manipulated videotaped survivor testimony through selective editing. The Israeli ambassador to Croatia, who attended the Zagreb premiere, strongly criticized the film and accused the filmmakers of historical revisionism, as did representatives of the Croatian Serb and Croatian Jewish communities.Jasenovac – istina has been shown as an educational feature in a number of Croatian schools, causing further controversy. Sedlar has said that he intends to screen the film at Holocaust museums and Jewish community centres, and indicated that copies will be donated to university libraries in Europe and North America. In July 2016, a non-governmental organization called the Anti-Fascist League of Croatia filed a lawsuit against Sedlar alleging the film incited ethnic intolerance and promoted Holocaust denial.
