About 850 items, in Serbian language (Both cyrillic and latin characters).
The documents are part of the Yugoslav State Commission for the Investigation of the Crimes of Occupiers and their Supporters (SCICOS) investigation on the crimes committed against the Roma and the Jews in Belgrade. The majority are testimonies of Roma women about the killing of the men and about their experience in the Sajmiste concentration camp, collected in the city of Belgrade and the surrounding villages (today part of the city) like Banjica, Mirijevo, Cukarica. The testimonies had been collected mostly between April and June 1945 by SCICOS special local commissions. They were used for collecting datas about the number of victims and for writing a report about the racial persecution of the Roma in German occupied Serbia. The testimonies refer to the period between October 1941 and March 1942, when the genocide took place.
