This is a photo of my great-grandmother Jelena Janic, her daughters Branka and Dušanka. It was taken by a Croatian Nazi soldier in WW2. They were rounded up during the battle of Kozara and taken to Jasenovac concentration camp. My great-grandma was known to be part of the Yugoslav partisan women’s anti-facist movement and held resistance meetings in the basement of the school she worked in as a teacher. They were taken to Jasenovac concentration camp where Serbian, Jewish, and Roma people were exterminated; a devastating 100,000 people. In a strange turn of events, their lives were saved by one of my great grandma’s former students who recognised her, even though he certainly risked his own life in doing so, being part of the Ustaša (Croatian Nazi) army.
