Dara of Jasenovac

This is a reminder that evil is perpetrated by both those that commit evil acts and those that do nothing.

Every word is superfluous. I can watch over and over...

In the name of remembering my grandmother who was a detainee in Jasenovac and who managed to escape. Her sister did not have that luck with 12 of her children who were all slaughtered in that horrible camp. My grandmother never talked about that time because she did not want us to hate Croatian people.

My grandparents are from town Kozarska Dubica(near Jasenovac former Yugoslavia,today Bosnia and Herzegovina). Town they are from lost the most population in WWII. They told me so many stories that are so sad. May grand grand father was prisioner in Jasenovac. He servived all that eveil in Jasenovac. I belive in good people and i belive that this kind of eveil will never happen again but we cant forget all those inocent people that were killd by Nazi and By Independet Croatian state in WWII. All those who writte that this movie is not talling the truth are just so mean as those who commite the crime over inocent people. There is monumant and museuem in Jasenovac and also in Donja Gradina( also museum in Bosnia and Herzegovina) and there you can see so many pictures and books and then you will be awere what kind of crime Nazis and Crotians commited over inocent people. ( serbs,jewish and gypsis) may all you R.I.P

While the film has excellent shots, with the lighting and camera working to achieve full immersion, the spectacle tends to drown the story in gory details. For a domestic audience, this is a common theme and it can be considered passe, but it is a historic drama and should be viewed as such, especially as it shows the parts of the Holocaust that are not as familiar to foreign viewers.

Overall, this is definitely a movie that lovers of historic pieces shouldn't miss, as it tells a story that should be told. One might dismiss the story for the corniness and often misguided focus, but the events are based on facts and the general impact is quite emotional.
