Honoring the Victims of Jasenovac
NEW YORK CITY
To mark the 81st Anniversary of the breakthrough and liberation of the Jasenovac camp (April 22, 1945), the Jasenovac Research Institute (JRI) held a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Jasenovac Monument in New York.
The Jasenovac Research Institute invited the community to join in honoring the memory of the hundreds of thousands of victims of the Jasenovac genocide. This annual act of remembrance serves as a vital reminder of the history of the camp and the enduring importance of historical truth.
