Beschreibung
The account of life and survival in the Nezsider concentration camp (officially the K. u. K. Interienirungslager in Nezsider), which Austria-Hungary operated 52 km southeast of Vienna. The concentration camp was formed in the old barracks of the hussar regiment, after the regiment left for the front towards the end of 1914 and the last internees left it on 31. October 1918. According to the memories of Dušan Krivokapić, a surviving internee and his post-war research, in this concentration camp "entered 14 500 Serbian and Montenegrin citizens; in the lager 9700 left their bones; 4800 left the lager with just their bare souls". Nezsider was specific in that it had a focus on Serbian intelligentsia, being the temporary home of names like Milutin Milanković (scientist), Sima Pandurović (poet), Jelisaveta Načić (the first female architect in Serbia), wife of the famous composer Stanislav Binički and their children and many more.
