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.
