Pavilion marking break of WWII death camp inmates opened in Zagreb

Autor: half
ZAGREB, April 16 (Hina) - A pavilion marking the anniversary of the break of inmates from the WWII death camp at Jasenovac was opened in downtown Zagreb by Serb People's Council president Milorad Pupovac and Mayor Milan Bandic.

The theme of the pavilion is the break of 670 inmates from the camp on 22 April 1945 and visitors can see it by April 19. It was made as a wooden black cube with one entry and no signs outside. Inside, panels display facts about the break and the camp. The project was realised through the Zagreb Serb National Minority Council.

Pupovac said everyone visiting the pavilion could feel for a moment what the people were condemned to in Jasenovac from 1941 to 1945.

The Jasenovac camp was set up in World War II for the detention, forced labour and execution of Serbs, Roma, Jews as well as Croats and other civilians for the purpose of creating an ethnically clean Nazi-styled Independent State of Croatia (1941-45).

A panel was held at the Prosvjeta Serb cultural society, where Jasenovac Memorial Park curator Djordje Mihovilovic said 83,145 Jasenovac victims had been identified to date, including 20,101 children under 14. Most victims were Serbs (47,627), followed by 16,173 Roma, 13,166 Jews and 4,225 Croats.
