Vedran, please read the image credits at the end of the first post - the images are from the Jasenovac memorial site, but they were taken at various locales, including Jastrebarsko.

Carl, all photos are from Jasenovac, 100%.
They were taken during a Red Cross visit to this camp.
Most of the these children came from Kozara (Bosnia)

Vedran, if you are correct, then the museum staff at Jasenovac must be contacted as they identified the images as the places named earlier in the thread. Perhaps you would wish to do so, and update us accordingly. Should the images prove incorrectly labelled, then I am sure the museum would be glad to hear.

Regards,

Unfortunately in Croatia, even today, camp documents the camps represent a tool for political calculations.
If you say something wrong in Croatia, you become Ustasha Nazi or Bolshevik, so i stay away from politics.
As a joke, we say that WW2 in Croatia is not over. Sad.

If no alterations are made to the museum memorial site's identification, then I personally consider this matter closed. Politics can be debated elsewhere, certainly not here - you do well to stay out of it Vedrun

The Potulice concentration camp (UWZ Lager Lebrechtsdorf– Potulitz) was in part a detention centre for Polish children that underwent forced Germanisation by the Nazis.

There was also the camp specifically for Polish children Polenjugendverwahrlager der Sicherheitspolizei in Litzmannstadt on Przemystowa Street (Gewerbestrasse). Link: Lodz Ghetto, Litzmannstadt Ghetto

The Polenjugendverwahrlager was run from 1941 to 1945. The "prisoners" were Polish children of deported Poles from throughout occupied Poland. Those among them found to be “racially valuable” were sent from the camp to the Reich for adoption and Germanisation. Between 12,000 and 13,000 children passed through the camp, the youngest ones were merely a few months old while most of them were aged between 8 and 14 years.

Thank you once again for sharing this with us. Horrors like these should never be forgotten. Human cruelty knows no boundries it seems.

Like you mention "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it"

Carl, I am at a loss for words. As you know, I have a young daughter and threads on a subject like this have a great deal of impact on me. I have to bite my tongue also, If i said what I was feeling I'd be banned in a heartbeat. And all this talk of God, sorry boys, this sort of thing just confirms my belief that their is no such being.

Couldn't agree with you more my friend.
I always ask my friend who is very religious (as I once was) "What would you think of me as a man if you knew I had the power to stop this horror but just stood by and watched".
His answer..."you would not be a man, you would be no better than an animal".My next question to him was...then why do you give god a pass, and make every excuse you can think of for him? I'm so glad I'm free now.
