THE HOLOCAUST OF THE VOLNER FAMILY
Abstract: This paper examines the fate of the Volner family from Zagreb in the Independent State of Croatia (NDH). In addition to this four-member family, the study also investigates the fate of their close relatives who lived in the NDH. Out of the 13 members of the family, eight perished in the Holocaust. The family members endured various camps –from Ustashe camps to Italian camps – before some were ultimately murdered in Auschwitz. The author's aim is to illustrate, through the fate of a single family, how the Holocaust was carried out in the territory of the NDH.
