Dotrščina Memorial Park
Dotrščina is a forest park in the northeast of Zagreb, Croatia. It is a protected area as the Dotrščina Memorial Cemetery and Park of the Revolution, because it is the historical site of mass executions in World War II. It is located north of the Maksimir forest park and south of the Medvednica mountain, and includes 365 cadastral acres (approx. 2 km2), mostly of forested area. History During the time of Zagreb in World War II, starting from May 1941, the Ustasha brought their victims here day and night, and killed them systematically. Victims were most often thrown into common pits, and therefore there is no insight into where anyone was buried. According to the latest research from 1985, it was estimated that around 7,000 anti-fascists were executed here, including around 2,000 members of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia. Some notable Croatian intelectualls who were executed here were Ivan Krndelj, Dr Božidar Adžija, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
