Memorial hall Ovčara
Memorial hall Ovčara
Memorial hall Ovčara is the witness of the most horrible crimes in the Homeland War. The crime took place on November 20th, 1991 when the Serbian aggressor killed 261 wounded and civilians, mainly from the Vukovar hospital. On the walls you can see the pictures, names, and date of birth of the victims that are appearing out of the darkness. The memorial hall is filled with personal belongings of the victims that were found in their clothes. On the floor you can see a light spiral with names of victims that go all the way to the candle that symbolizes the light of Christ. Above the spiral, in the ceiling there are 261 lights for the victims who were tortured, abused and killed in the cruellest way just there.
