''Finally, we reached the meadow of 10 km 2 . At the end of the meadow we noticed<br />

that , on a kilometer around, on every hundred meters, a wooden tower as a watchtower, was<br />

standing. Then we saw three, very long, barracks, but so low that a ceiling could be reached<br />

by the hands. Barrackks were closed during the day, and no one must not enter until the<br />

evening. We were determined to work on the embarkment, and the next morning we<br />

convinced ourselves what it meant the Voice of a prisoner-of-war ''appearance for work''. W e<br />

were devided before the barracks on tens, who encumbered 4 showels, 4 pickaxe and 2 handy<br />

prams. The work on the embarkment was lasting 6 hours, and it was awfully difficult. Every<br />

ten, by running step, had to bring and throw as much as possible of the land for the<br />

embarkment. It was so every day. At noon and in the evening 5-6 people were disappearing.<br />

The one who could not wald, exhausted, and was falling, he would be finished off by the rifle<br />

butt. Usually, the last Ustasha from the colony would liquidate him with a bullit in the head so<br />

that he, allegedly, would not escape ''beaten'' like that. We were working on the embarkment<br />

prisoners-of-war. One October morning, during the work on the embarkment, well-known<br />

cutthroat Jozo Matijević gathered all Ustasha's Guard and made a speech, after which the<br />

merciless beating with the showels and rifle butts by guardians, so that, practically, on that<br />

ocassion no one from 1.500 prisoners left unhurt. 92 (excerpts from the memory of Adolf<br />

but the main headquarter of chief Pavelić in Zagreb wasn't of such opinion, and on 27 th of<br />

April issued an order to all regional institutions ''that Jasenovac may receive unlimited<br />

number of prisoners''.<br />

that the prisoners didn't take the water.<br />
