about

The Topovske Supe concentration camp was established on 20 August 1941 and was operated till the end of that year. During that time from 5000 to 6500 people were inmates there and approximately 4300 of them were killed. Since the most of the victims were Jews or Romani people and they were not communist or anti-fascist fighters, the camp was neglected by the communist regime for many years because of political reasons. Till nowadays, two barracks and pieces of a wall are still existing, illegally inhibited by some immigrants. There is some kind of makeshift auto-repair parlour, which is heard on the recording, in one of the barracks. The first memorial plaque at the site was established in 2005 after the controversy regarding one of the wealthiest local businessmen who had wanted to demolish the barracks and start a construction site of a giant mall and office buildings at that place. In 2017 the plaque was stolen and once again the memorial site was forgotten. The new plaque had been placed at the site just two weeks before we came to make recordings there. Both the city authorities and Romany organizations agreed to demolishe the site; it will probably happen after August 2019.
