Ustaša and Roma

The article discusses mass crimes committed against Roma by Ustaše and Chetniks during World War II, highlighting their genocidal intent to exterminate the Roma population using brutal methods such as shootings and burning alive.

It details a specific crime in Križpolje where seven Roma families (38 individuals) were taken by German and Ustaše forces in early 1944 and subsequently murdered on a nearby hill.

The perpetrators were part of the 392nd Legionary Infantry Division, known as the Blue Division, which operated in Croatia and was responsible for numerous civilian deaths and atrocities during the war.

Ustaša Murder

Max Bamberger was a violinist. He traveled with a Sinti circus and entertained people. He, his wife and two children were victims of a massacre on 24 and 25 April 1945, not far from the Croatian-Slovenian border, in the village of Hrastina near Marija Gorica. One of the most horrific Ustasha crimes against Roma committed in the NDH. It was perhaps the last mass crime against the Roma and Sinti on the territory of occupied Europe during World War II. This crime was committed by one of the Ustasha units from Jasenovac, namely the 1st Ustaški obrabeni zdrug, the so-called Luburićevci.
