The exodus of Roma started in the spring of 1942. After their list was prepared by the authorities, their assembly started and was followed by their transportation to the concentration camp of Jasenovac. Upon arrival to the camp, older men, women and children were immediately taken for liquidation in Donja Gradina, whereas those of working age were kept for a short while in the camp, inside a separately fenced area called III-C. This was a meadow in the North-Eastern part of the camp that was fenced with barbed wire in the spring of 1942. Apart from a small group of Roma who were assigned to the work group of gravediggers in Donja Gradina, most of the Roma were killed until the end of June 1942. Almost no Roma that entered the camp eventually survived.
