,,”Here, in a foreign country, in the unknown world, the Serb war prisoners of war from the war 1914-1919 are eternally sleeping.They gave their lives for their homeland after long warfare and much effort.These memories were raised by their comrades, blood brothers and faith brothers,Serb prisoners of war  camp Ulm.Hey, passenger, passing by the cemetery unknown, stop a little and get to know those who died so glorified”.

The captured Serb soldiers who were imprisoned behind barbed wire were brought over the Danube River.Those who tried to escape were killed.The others were sent to the estates of the great landowners and died of extreme work.This suffering of Serbian prisoners   during the First World War must never be forgotten.

    • In Serbia, 1,100,000 people died.Wounded 1.250.000.A whole generation of young people disappeared ..Despite all this horror, people around the world have not learned anything.

        • Wars have always occurred in the Balkans.Every generation has experienced at least one.Maybe we do not know what we ate yesterday…but the war sufferings live in our collective memory.It’s okay to remember the wars,but it’s not right to use it as an excuse to start new ones.
