Families and survivors held wreath-laying ceremonies and attended requiem masses in commemoration to 1,500 victims, killed by the 'Prince Eugene Division' troops supported by local Ustasha forces, on 28 and 29 March in 1944.
Over 1,500 people, most of whom were the elderly, women and children, were killed in seven villages -- Otok, Ruda, Podi, Krivodol, Roze, Ljuta and Vostani -- at the foot of Mount Kamesnica. All the houses in the villages were burnt to the ground.
