ABOUT THE LIST

PARTIAL LIST OF THE VICTIMS NAMES KILLED IN THE USTASHIAN CAMPS COMPLEX IN JADOVNO FROM THE 11TH OF APRIL TO THE 21ST OF AUGUST 1941.

SERBIAN
In the Ustashian camps complex in Jadovno on Velebit, the Ustashas killed 40.123 persons (from newborns to very old persons) in the most gruesome way during the camp’s existence of only 132 days. Amongst the victims were 38.010 Serbs, 1.998 Jews, 88 Croats, 11 Slovenians, nine Muslims, two Hungarians, two Czechs, one Gypsy and one Montenegrin.
Prof. Dr. Đuro Zatezalo made the list of all the names and published it in his capital work “Jadovno – the Ustashian camps complex 1941”. Zatezalo worked on collecting the data and making the listing with names for over 20 years by the end of 1991. Desintegration of SFR Yugoslavia prevented any further work making the list of people who were killed in these camps and theirs scaffolds only partial. The list contains data for only 10.502 victims.
Amongst 10.052 victims, 9.663 are Serbs (including 1.014 children up to the age of 15), 762 are Jews (including 15 children), 55 Croats, nine Muslims, eight Slovenians, one Hungarian, one Czech, one Gypsy and one Montenegrin.
According to social structure, farmers are the largest group with 71,9%, followed by children up to the age of 15 with 9,7%, 3,9% craftsmen, 3,3% workers, 2,1% railroad workers, 1,35 students, 1% landlords, 1% teachers and professors and 3,3% of those with other professions.
The list is made in alphabetical order according to the last names of the victims and divided by places, districts, cantons or by the places where the Ustashas took the prisoners.
During the making of lists, prof. dr. Đuro Zatezalo used archive and memoir database  in the following archives:
