SAJMISTE — AN EXTERMINATION CAMP IN SERBIA*

MENACHEM SHELACH

Oranim School of Education, Haifa University Israel

German army reprisals against the local Serbian population's resistance to the Occupation, between August and December 1941, were used by the army as an excuse to murder the Jewish men of Serbia. Jewish women and children (8000–9000) were then interned in Sajmiste, a concentration camp established at the site of an abandoned exhibition ground on the outskirts of Belgrade After seeking RSHA aid to deal with these Jews, the local German administration received a gas van with which it murdered the Jews, from March to May 1942 This is the only known instance of on-the-spot gassing outside of Eastern Europe.
