Wreaths were laid and homage paid with high state and military honours at the monument for victims of genocide in World War II.
Wreaths were laid by delegations of concentration camp survivors, representatives of the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, the Serbian Army’s General Staff, the City of Belgrade, as well as representatives of national minorities whose members died in camps during the Second World War.
On April 22, 1945 the last groups of survivors from the Jasenovac concentration camp made a heroic breakout and liberated themselves thus ending one of the largest “death factories” in entrapped Europe during the Second World War.
Under the Law on the Museum of victims of genocide, the Republic of Serbia marks April 22 as the National Remembrance Day for victims of genocide in World War II.
