Question

This organization’s mass graves were exhumed from caverns for a religious funeral after stagings of the play Pigeon Hole. This group, whose émigrés trained terrorists in Wodonga, coined the slogan “For homeland – ready” adopted (10[1])by (10[1])the Melbourne Knights FC and the revived Party of Rights. The poem “The Pit” and the Stone Flower sculpture commemorate atrocities by this group, which mandated wearing a blue band with a letter “P” on the sleeve to indicate Orthodoxy. (10[1])This group’s poglavnik advised Juan (10[1])Perón after he escaped the Bleiburg (10[1])repatriations (10[1])on the ratlines. (-5[1])Pope John (-5[1])Paul II beatified this group’s collaborator Aloysius Stepinac (10[4]-5[1])(“steh-PEE-nots”), whom the victorious (10[1])Partisans tried for treason. (-5[3])A memorial at (-5[1])Jasenovac (“yah-seh-NO-vots”) honors this group’s Serb genocide victims. For 10 points, what fascist (10[1])group was led by (10[1])Ante (10[1])Pavelić (10[1])(“ON-tay PAH-veh-leech”) in Croatia? (10[1])■END■ (10[6]0[1])

ANSWER: Ustaše [or Ustaša or Ustashas or Ustashes; accept Neo-Ustašas, HRB, CRB, HNO, Crusaders, Križari, or Škripari; until “Croatia” is read, accept Croatian Revolutionary Brotherhood, Hrvatsko Revolucionarno Bratstvo, Ustaša – Croatian Revolutionary Movement, Hrvatski narodni otpor, Croatian National Resistance, or Ustaša – Hrvatski revolucionarni pokret; reject “Otpor”] (Jovan Radulović wrote Pigeon Hole, which was banned until the 1980s. Ivan Goran Kovačić wrote “The Pit,” and Bogdan Bogdanović designed the Stone Flower.)
