\u201cNotice! In accordance with Article 14 of the Cemeteries Act, Zelenilo d.o.o. Karlovac intends to give to third persons the use of a burial plot which is considered abandoned due to the nonpayment of the annual grave lease and the fulfilment of other legal requirements,\u201d the city company in charge of the city\u2019s green areas and cemeteries announced in an ad Karlova\u010dki tjednik <\/em>on February 18th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Zelenilo then specifies which burial plots are in question. Alongside with plots at other Karlovac cemeteries, three plots at the Jewish Cemetery are offered \u2013 the burial plots of Milan Mi\u0161ljenovi\u0107<\/strong>, Petar Toma\u0161kovi\u0107<\/strong> and Barbara Turza<\/strong>, the mother of people\u2019s hero Herta Turza. It is another example of the disappearance of Serbian, Jewish and antifascist marks in Croatia.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll persons claiming the right to the use of the aforementioned burial plots are invited to contact Zelenilo within ten days from the date of the publishing of this notice so that their right to the use of the burial plot can be ascertained, otherwise the graves will be assigned to third persons. Claimants must bring all available documents relating to the right in question,\u201d the ad ends.<\/p>\n

We asked Zelenilo why they published such an ad for the Jewish Cemetery since the Jewish community was destroyed in the Second World War. Ten years ago, a similar notice by the company received much attention from the Croatian public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are not graves of Jewish persons but abandoned graves used for burial after 1980, located at the southern end of the Jewish Cemetery,\u201d Zelenilo says, clarifying that, just as at other cemeteries, members of different religions are buried at the Jewish Cemetery.<\/p>\n
