Banja Luka's Jews in the complex of the concentration camps of death ISC (Gospić, Jadovno,
Jasenovac-Gradina, Stara Gradiška ) was, as we can see, finished in a very short period time,
what greatly interpreted a real small number of the Jews, in relation to other towns, who
joined to the fight for life in the former anti-Fascist movement, which, on the carrying out of
certain activities at the beginning of the war in ex Yugoslavia, was not defined, by which,
later on, after the liberation, it justified the suspicions rolled in the Legal regulations (which
were primarely reffered to the bringing of catastrophic laws on nationalization and abandoned
property), by which the property genocide over the ex Yu Jews was committed, which
brought to further alijas of the Jews from the ground of ex Yugoslavia. But, we are going to
talk about that and document some time later on. The concentration camps for the majority of

For the massive killings on Velebit, the Ustashas did not build the factories of death but used the natural
bottomless pits, over which openings they were bringing the columns of tied and tortured and innocent people,
whom they were hitting with the hammers and knives, a few of the first ones, who, by inertia, would pull the rest
ones too. The others were killed over the pits, whom they themselves had to dig, or the were thrown in the sea
tied with the stone. Because of the began reoccupation of the Croatian coast and Lika, already from 15 August of
1941, conditioned by the development of the rebellion on the area of Lika, Banija, Kordun and K. Krajina, the
