About 250 items, in Serbian language (Both in cyrillic and latin characters).
Scope and Content
The documents are part of the Yugoslav State Commission for the Investigation of the Crimes of Occupiers and their Supporters (SCICOS) investigation on the crimes committed against the Roma and the Jews in Krusevac. The majority are testimonies of Roma women about the killing of the men in September 1941, when German troops shot a group of Roma (probably around 100).
The testimonies were collected mostly between June and July 1945 by SCICOS special local commissions. They were used for collecting datas about the number of victims and for writing a report about the racial persecution of the Roma in German occupied Serbia. The testimonies refer to the period after partisan-chetnik assault on German defended Krusevac in September 1941.
