Genocide

Established in 1992 as a reminder of the unforgivable crime against Serbs, Jews and Roma people which happened during the Second World War. This museum collects data about concentration camps, forced displacement, the devastation of cultural and historical monuments for the educational and historical purposes. Here you can see collections such as “They were just children”, which exhibits data about almost 20.000 boys and girls whose remains were found in one of the tombs at the Jasenovac concentration camp.

The Centre is dedicated to the one event of the World War II history, to the suffering of 30 April 1944 when 269 inhabitants of Lipa were killed in just a few hours. Victims were all civilians, mainly elderly people, women and children. This crime was committed by the Nazis and Fascists during the Braunschweig offensive, a military operation aimed against the partisans. The killings of civilians were followed by ransacking and arson of their homes and outbuildings.

Housed in a newly redesigned building since 2015, the Gulag History Museum is Moscow’s main exhibition space and educational center devoted to the Soviet Union’s sprawling network of forced labor camps. From the Great Terror (1937-38) to the birth and development of the Gulag system to the difficult reintegration of prisoners in the post-Stalin era, the museum documents decades of Soviet repression in meticulous detail.
