Ovcara Memorial Center
The Ovčara memorial home is the place where many civilians and wounded in the Homeland War died during the aggression and occupation of Vukovar in 1991. The hangar where the crimes took place, in memory of the victims, was turned into a modern memorial center that covers about 300 square meters. The entire Ovčara Memorial Home is in the dark, because the crimes took place at night.
Memorijalno Groblje Vukovar
The Memorial Cemetery of Homeland War Victims is the largest mass grave in Europe after II. World War. They say that a picture says more than a thousand words, but actually being in this place is an indescribable experience. The words remain in the air and your only desire is to store the image of a field with 938 white crosses, each of which symbolizes one victim, exhumed here, in this place where you are standing. Entire generations are buried here, the youth of Vukovar and all parts of Croatia.
