Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Yugoslavia's communist narrative suppressed Jasenovac's ethnic specificity; this film broke that silence, making it politically dangerous upon release.
The 1942 escape of 600 inmates—commemorated in this film—remains one of the largest mass escapes from any WWII concentration camp.
