Jasenovac Memorial and Museum, Central Croatia, Croatia
4.5 (39 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Sisak-Moslavina County History Museums
Historical sight of shame.
We visited here from Banja Luka after seeing the sights in the Kozara National Park on our way to Kutina. Entering Croatia at the Gradina Donja border crossing, it was just 3 km further to this free 1967 museum. We always feel sadness to experience these sights but also an obligation to educate ourselves, not a place we want to go; but a place we should go. There is a lot to learn here with pictures, signs in English and altogether a very troubling sight, especially to see how extensive it was.

Unknown horrors, wonderful monument.
An impressive monument over one of the 2. world wars most horrible places. This was the "serbian holocaust" and the concentrationcamp also had jewish and roma people. There are far smaller camps in Germany much more known than this one, and its a shame that the information about this place is so unknown to the next generations. It is a big scar in the history of the middle east. My opinion is that all stories should be told, and at this scale with these horrors also in numbers, it is a mystery that the information is so rare. It is absolutely worth a visit!!

Monument for all the unmarked graves
I visited this place because my relatives ended their lives in horror in concentration camp during WW2 in Independent state of Croatia. That monument stands for all victims. Most of exhibit is removed, somebody thought they should not show instruments for torture. Some people are still diminishing numbers forgetting that one mother killed for keeping baby in her arms is too much. We should all visit places like this since once it is forgotten it can happen again.
