B92 TV will tonight and on Sunday evening at 20:00 CET air the documentary, "Fairgrounds – a history of a concentration camp". The project was born from the desire to, for the first time, tell the story of one of the most notorious Nazi WW2 concentration camps in these regions. Nazi camp documentary premiers "It's a terrible thing to see an 80-year-old remember that moment and burst into tears. It really is hard to watch," says screenplay writer Boban Jevtic. "Time is in a way an odd factor in human memory. On the one hand, it obscures what had happened – there is a repression mechanism – and on the other, there is a desire to say something," commented historian Milan Koljanin. "Some inhibitions that have existed are weakening and people, so to speak, nearing the end of their lives, wish to say something they haven't said before," according to him. B92 Director Veran Matic said he became aware of the importance of the concentration camp site – located on the left bank of the Sava river in Belgrade – when he saw how similar places abroad were marked and how important their role was in creating a new system of values and criticizing totalitarianism, evil and crime. "And then I realized that this is something we've been missing – not just as a memorial, a sum of names of the victims – that's important too, but the role such places play in the human future is much more important," Matic said ahead of the first screening of the documentary.
