The Simon Wiesenthal Center criticized the decision by a Croatian court to postpone the trial of the commander of the country’s largest World War II concentration camp. The court, ruling that Dinko Sakic is too ill to stand trial, postponed the start of proceedings until March 15. Sakic, 77, is charged with committing war crimes while head of the Jasenovac camp, where an estimated 600,000 Jews, Serbs and Gypsies were killed.
