Ovčara Memorial

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:13:03

Around 6km out of town en route to Ilok there’s a turn-off to the Ovčara Memorial, which is another 4km down the road. This is the hangar where the 194 victims from the hospital were beaten and tortured. Inside the dark room are projections of the victims’ photos, with a single candle burning in the middle. The victims met their death in a cornfield another 1.5km down the road, now marked with a black marble gravestone that's covered with candles and flowers.
