Muscovites will be told about the concentration camp in which 700 thousand Serbs were killed
The Republika Srpska Museum will take part in the large-scale project of the Moscow Victory Museum “Unconquered”. Cooperation between museums of the two countries was organized with the support of the Representative Office of the Republika Srpska in the Russian Federation
The exhibition, which opens on January 24, will feature a Serbian exhibition dedicated to the largest death camp in Yugoslavia during World War II, Jasenovac.
Visitors will be able to see unique photographic documents telling not only about the victims, but also about their executioners - Ustasha criminals who used the most cruel methods to eliminate prisoners.
A separate series of photographs is dedicated to the suffering of children. In Jasenovac, 20 thousand children and teenagers were killed.
The Jasenovac concentration camp was created following the example of German concentration camps. The Croatian state, created by the fascists, sought to get rid of “undesirable elements,” primarily the Serbs. Jews and Gypsies were also exterminated.
The exact number of victims has not yet been established. To hide the traces of its crimes, the Ustasha government twice destroyed the concentration camp files and documents. According to most authoritative researchers, the number of victims of the Jasenovac camp is about 700 thousand people.
As part of the Unconquered project, there will also be exhibitions dedicated to the history of the creation of Auschwitz, Sobibor, Mauthausen, Sachsenhausen, Majdanek, Buchenwald, etc. Museums from Norway and Slovenia also take part in it. The exhibition will run until March 4.
