Yugoslav prisoners in Nazi concentration camps

During World War II, tens of thousands of Yugoslav citizens were imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps including more than 6,000 at Mauthausen[1] and 20,000 in Auschwitz.[2] At least 536 Yugoslav citizens were victims of Nazi human experimentation in the concentration camps.[3]

Yugoslav prisoners, newly arrived at Mauthausen, are forced to line up against the Klagemauer ("wailing wall").
