INSCRIPTION ON THE PLAQUE IN SLANA CAMP

When approaching the Suha beach (Slana camp) on the right and left rise tall cliffs and caves. The people managed to collect some of their scarce money and place a marble plaque on one of those cliffs. Every year next to the plaque a history class is held and wreaths are laid.

For the memorial area of Slana, the Pag Municipal Committee ordered a project documentation which will include the whole area of the former camps and gravesites. In 1988 there is already a project to build a road which will go from the village of Metajna to Slana. It will go parallel to the road built by the inmates so that it would remain untouched as a monument of that age.

The inscription on the plaque reads:

GLORY TO THE VICTIMS OF FASCISM

IN 1941 IN LATE MAY

DEATH CAMP SLANA WAS FOUNDED HERE

IN THE TERRIBLE THREE MONTHS

THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE –

SERBS, JEWS, CROATS AND OTHERS
