Background
Crveni Krst (lit.â'Red Cross concentration camp'; German: KZ Rotes Kreuz; Serbian: ÐÐ¾Ð³Ð¾Ñ Ð¦Ñвени кÑÑÑ, romanized: Logor Crveni krst), also known as the NiÅ¡ concentration camp (German: Lager Nich), was a concentration camp operated by the German Gestapo located in the Crveni Krst municipality of NiÅ¡, in German-occupied Serbia. It was used to hold captured Serbs, Jews, Roma and anti-fascists during World War II. Established in October 1941, between 30,000 and 35,000 people were detained within it during the war. It was liberated by the Yugoslav Partisans in 1944. More than 10,000 people are thought to have been killed in the camp over the course of its existence.
Crveni Krst is one of the few Nazi concentration camps in Europe whose facilities have been preserved in their entirety, and the only one in the former Yugoslavia to hold this distinction.
