| Description |
In 1941 the Germans initiated works to restore the copper mines and related enterprises in Bor, Serbia, but there was a shortage of manpower. In July 1943, the Hungarian government and the German Todt Organization concluded an agreement according to which the former sold to the latter 3,600 Hungarian Jews and Jehovah's Witnesses for forced labor in Bor. Describes life in the labor camps established there, and the abuses perpetrated by the Hungarian guards. Notes the passivity of the slave laborers in the face of these conditions. Only a handful of them fled from the camps nobody rebelled. In September-October 1944 the Hungarians began evacuation of the laborers northward. There were two death marches many prisoners were murdered on the way. The second "convoy" was liberated by Tito's partisans, but many of those liberated perished later in combat. Only a few inmates of the Bor camps survived the ordeals.
