Materials about the concentration camp in Sabac. The camp was active from 1941 to 1944. It was established first of all for the Jews of the so called"Kladovo Transpor", a group of about 1.200 Jewish refugees who had fled from Nazi persecution in the Third Reich in 1938. In their attempt to reach Palestina, they were stopped on the Yugoslav-Romanian border and sent to Šabac. After the German invasion they were all arrested. Men would be all shot in October 1941, while women and children would be sent in December to the Sajmiste concentration camp in Belgrade and then killed with the other inmates. The camp remained active for Serbian civilians and partizans. The file contains reports, testimonies, lists and other documents concerning the period 1941-1944, collected and produced by SCICOS special commissions.
