Thanks, K.

[Jure]

What kind of execution methods did they have at these camps?
Was there any gaschambers or anything like that or did they just use rifles, spades, knives or anything sharp?

- south part of KL Mauthausen am Loibl-Tunnel (north part of it was on Austrian side).
- in Trst "San Sabba" - Risario/Rižarna.

Needlees to say that Trst is Trieste, it has never been in Slovenia and the camp, created by the Germans shortly after the Italian Armisice (8 Sept. 1943), was the "Risiera di San Sabba" (Risario doesn't exist).
At the beginning it was a camp for Italian interned soldiers (Stalag 339), but already at the end of Oct. 1943 it was turned into a Polizeihaftlager.

I included Trst, because it's on Slovene national teritory.

About Risario - typo. Meaning is "Rice-factory".

Several pointless nationalists posts from DrG, Jure, K.Kocjancic and Nina van M. were removed, now get back on topic.

David,

Baja is a town in southern Hungary and therefor I think it can not be treated as a Yugoslavian camp. Do you agree with me or do you perhaps have any other reason that you have put it on the list of YU-camps?

Thanks for the correction. I started with a list of camps where the Jews of Yugoslavia were held, and since I don't get out to the Backa much, I didn't catch my geographical error. I'm sorry to say that when I think of Baja, I start daydreaming about beaches, tequila, limes and mesquite-broiled shrimp rather than southern Hungary. Que agringado!

When I posted that list, I just wanted to include camps in former Yugoslavia, and for that reason I didn't list the camp at Bacsalmas, in Hungary, where Yugoslavian Jews from Backa were also held. If I'd looked a little further to the left, I would have seen Baja as well.

[Nina van M.]

David,

I was in doubt to post my correction or not, because I wasn't sure if you were reffering to a exact place where the camp was, or to a Jews from certain nation that were transported there. But as the topics' title is "Camps in Yugoslavia" and Baja is not in Yugoslavia, I thought I should say it anyway.

Greeting,

Nina

Rab was Italian concentration camp on the island Rab (now in Croatia).
