STARI BROD MEMORIAL

Opened in 2019, this memorial (Spomen-Kompleks Stari Brod/Спомен-Комплекс Стари Брод) marks the memory of the massacre of 6,150 Bosnian-Serbs from eastern Bosnia in the spring of 1942 by Croatian Ustachis and their Bosnian surrogates as part of a large-scale German operation against the partisans. At the foot of a concrete building decorated with black triangles, statues placed in the Drina represent 326 women and children who drowned here while trying to escape the Ustasha on March 22, 1942. The site also houses a Serbian Orthodox church.
