| description | Based on the preserved and accessible sources from seven archives and from
the relevant literature, the authors seek to reconstruct the causes, course
and consequences of the crime committed by the Ustashas against the Serbs of
the villages of Drakulić, Šargovac and Motike, and in the Rakovac mine, near
Banja Luka on 7 February 1942. The authors attempt to point to the main
instigators and perpetrators of the crime and to estimate the number of
victims. For understanding the broader context of the events, they point out
the ideological roots and main features of the genocidal policy pursued by
the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) against the Serbs from 1941 to 1945.
Special attention is paid to the events in the area of Banja Luka during
1941, because they provided the chronological and spatial context for the
crime that followed in February 1942. |
