THE WITNESSES OF HELL t came the end of silence about the sufferings of the Serbs. In the context of changed historical circum stances and in accordance with the direction of new winds, many truths, including the truth about the sufferings in the concentration camps in the Independent State of Crotia, are becoming known more and more. Though, it lates much, it is never too late for the truth People have been always leaving the testimonies about their lives and the happenings, which indirect or direct, active or passive partcipiants they were. Dušan Bursać, who contradicted to the changing of the truth, gathered a few testimonies and put them between

Regardless the possible reactions on this book, the author ascertains a tragic fact that the ”brothers” Croatians caused the greatest evils to the Serns in their whole history. The Croats surpassed the other Serbian enemies together in that:   Turkey, which ruled the Serbian countries almost five centuries after the defeat of the Serbian Army in Kosovo in 1389;   Austria-Hungary, which got the mandate to occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina on Berlin Congress in 1878, and to anexate it in1908. This state performed an aggression on Serbia and Montenegro in 1914, which caused the beginning of the World War I. The Serbs used to have 1.250.000 victims during the aggressive

The testimonies of the children, who are over sixties now and were forcefully driven away to the Croatian concentration camps, are telling that the Croatian concentration camps were not any kind of working camps (some Croatian authors want to present them such), and that the Serbian children weren’t being saved from them. It can be concluded that those concentration camps were the general places of torture for all those who were brought to the concentration camps by force in order to be tortured in the cruelest way and then killed with the various sharp and hard subject or slaughtered with the knives. The life of these children was spent in

There were both tendency and practice for some of the Serbian children to be raised in the Croatian spirit and put on the Croatian military uniforms that were being sewn for them. The children’s camps for such purposes were founded. Ljubo Miloš says this about such camp in Gornja Rijeka at trial hearing: ”I cannot tell you precisely when this concentration camp was organized, but I cerainly consider it was in the early spring of 1942. It seems that the idea for the establishment of this concentration camp was given by Didi Kvaternik, and the goal of this concentration camp was to raise small Serbian children who had no parents

Tracing for the real and not conspicuous title for this book I faced a few problems, because I’ve been told that the title of my published book ”Croatian genocide over the Serbs”, that happened in 1941 and lasted to 1945, was provocative and some bookstores didn’t want to put it in their store windows being afraid of the unwanted consequences. That is another proof how much the idea of ”brotherhood and unity” among the Serbs and Croatians is rooted in the consciousness of the people. Then, the associating of Croatian name to the genocide is neither desirable nor dangerous, too. Since the suffering of the children was in question, my

was thinking for a long time how to start this book and what to put between its bindings. Happenings which this book should be consisted of are so different in details that it wasn’t easy to reduce them to the common factor so that they would make a circle entirety. There was a dilemma how to single out, from the abundant material that is offered, those contents that would credibly present the real personalities and their destinies, burdened by the vulnerable chilhood. Their moving stories should bear witnesses to the time and people who marked that time with their blood and Serbian children’s tears and tortures that found themselves in

In 1942, I had eight brothers, mother and father. The idyllic village life interrupted the call for general running away because some Ustashas were burning villages and killing the people. The mother quickly packed what she could and set off for the refuge toward the mountain of Kozara together with the other village dwellers. On the mountain of Kozara, I realized, for the first time, that people were being killed from some bullits and

He was born on 9 April 1937 in the village of Gornji Podgradci, Bosanska Gradiška. He writes: I remember the distant 1942, when the Germans bombed the mountain of Kozara and the villages under the mountain. The so-called ”stuka” planes were flying low and bombing our village. I remember when the sawmill was in flames. The local residents were ordered to hoist white flags on their houses. My mother told me to hoist the piece of the sheet on the roof of our house. My grandfather came after me, my mother and sister. We carried the things we could carry. We were walking fifteen kilometres. During the walk, the Croats
