Jasenovac, Italy

Stone Flower

Stone Flower (Croatian: Kameni cvijet; Serbian: Камени цвет, Kameni cvet) is a monument to the atrocities perpetrated in the Jasenovac concentration camp by the Ustaša regime during World War II in Yugoslavia: Serbs, Romani people, Jews, and Croatian dissidents of the regime. According to its author

, the flower that opens its petals towards the sky and the Sun represents faith in life and rebirth, overcoming suffering. Designed by Bogdan Bogdanović, the reinforced concrete monument was completed in 1966 on the grounds of the former Camp III (known as the Ciglana). It features a base containing six niches divided by concrete walls, with water basins running along their edges. Rising from this base is a central column that expands into the sculpted form of a flower. Within the niches, six trapezoidal slabs reach toward the upper structure. The monument's crypt is paved with railway sleepers, and on the northern side a bronze plaque bears verses from Ivan Goran Kovačić's war poem Jama.
