Danon Dr Jakov - Jadovno 1941.

Simply naive, the mountain, a low hill of barbed wire and a few barracks of
concentration camp's management and nothing more, and the innocent people were being
brought to open point of death because of slaughtering and killing. The bestial atrocity, which
were performed by by Ustasha's-Croats of Pavelić regime on the road to death, cannot be
compared with the crimes which were carried out in the German camps, out of a simply
reason because the overreached them in the most worse sense of the word. On the basis of
available documents ISC and Italian military, multiple testimonies of survived prisoners-ofwar,
documentation of Yugoslav state's organs and the statements of the very criminals,
studying of series of authentic archive resources, many supplements in the press and
magazines. G. Đuro Zatezalo, in his book on the concentration camp of Jadovno, presented
exact datae that in the system of concentration camp of ISC, Gospić-Jadovno (32103) and
Slano and Metajna on the island of Pag (8.020) in the period from 11 th April to 21 st August of

After the disbanding of these concentration camps, the Ustashas the transported a
smaller number of survived prisoners-of-war from Metajna to the concentration camp
Kruščica beside Travnik, while the majority ended in the concentration camp of Jasenovac,
according to many the biggest and the most terrifying concentration camp of death on the
world, where a human life was losing every sense, and wished death became the only awake
hope of salvation.
By the crime, Jasenovac was primarely specific concentration camp of death in ISC,
on a huge space of massive crypts Bročice, Krapje, Uštice, Mlaka, Dubičke krečane, Bajića
jame, Slabinja, Ševarlije to Stara Gradiška. Along the winding flow of the river Sava, around
the place of Jasenovac, the villages Krapje and Bročice, it went a long road of death, covered
with the corpses.
