43 German Sinti are killed in the Hrastina massacre

📅 24 April 1945 📍

On the night of 24–25 April 1945, 43 German Sinti men, women, and children hiding in Hrastina near Zagreb were killed and burned in a barn. Sources disagree about the perpetrators: a Council of Europe factsheet and the RomaSintiGenocide.eu chronology identify a retreating German SS unit, while a later Jasenovac Memorial Area publication attributes the massacre to Ustaša members. This entry preserves the atrocity and flags the unresolved attribution rather than choosing between conflicting institutional accounts.
