Ovcara Memorial CenterThe 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 VukovarThe 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.

Place of Remembrance - Vukovar Hospital 1991The atmosphere that reigned in the Vukovar hospital in the autumn of 1991 is shown here in a poignant way - a moment frozen in time. In the basement of the Vukovar Hospital, the lives of several hundred wounded and hospital staff during the months-long occupation of the city have been faithfully reconstructed. You are offered with a multimedia presentation of wartime events inside the hospital during the fall of 1991. For the permanent exhibition, a material so common for hospital everyday life - plaster - was used - figures of people were made from it in order to evoke the time that has stopped here in the space.
