RE: Post your country national monument here.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 03-09-02 AT 06:14 AM (GMT)]Having being stationed there shortly ,, Few memorial in Serbia can compare to series of monuments in city of Kragujevac, where on 21/21 October 41, Germans executed between 3 and 8 thousand serbs. The tru number is still debated.. to date 2500 victoms have been named, and court in Nuremburg used 7000 number in their trials.

The massacre hapend in the aftermath of general Breme’s order that for every 1 soldier germans lost 100 civilians will be shot.
The following are series of monuments raised to remember one of the worst massacres of ww2.

1. The Monument to students and profesors.. When Germans coulnt find enough civilians they went into local highschool and marched the students out… the profesors were given chance to stay but non did.
The monument resembles roman 5 and normal 3 number.. symbolising the class 3 of year 5. the first group to be shot.

2.Monument of Pain. dedicated to women of massacre
3.The Stone Sleaper. for the local villagers
4. Chrystal flower . for the children
5. “100 for 1” memory of the ratio of general breme
6. Monument of Freedom
7. The actual museum bldg.

there are many more .. anybody who get the chance should wisit the place. Its a beautifull city.
