Karlsdorf Concentration Camp - Banatski Karlovac

At the end of worl War II, Karlsdorf was an almost entirely Ethnic German village in Serbian Yugoslavia. Just prior to the end of the war, starting with the arrival of the Soviet Army and Communist Partisna soldiers, a policy of ethnic cleansing was enacted against its German poulation. Those citizens of Karlsdorf who had not fled with the withdrawing German Army, were stipped of all of their rights. Many were sent off to other Communist Partisan run Concentration Camps or remained in Karlsdorf to be starved, worked to death or otherwise killed.
