Prague: Premiere of the film "Seven Thousand Souls"

Before the screening in the City Library of the City of Prague, Ambassador Vekić greeted the spectators, actors and director Sanjin Mirić.

It is a shocking story so far not told on film about the suffering of Serbian camp inmates in the Austro-Hungarian camp during the First World War in Jindrihovice, not far from Karlovy Vary, which is not only a part of Serbian, but also Czech and European history.

During the First World War, the camp was the largest concentration camp (Heinrichsgrün) in the territory of Austro-Hungary, through which about 40,000 prisoners passed, mostly Serbs from Sumadija and the Valjevo region. The oldest detainee was a Serbian priest at the age of 92, and the youngest, his great-grandson, who was only eight years old.

A memorial ossuary was erected on the site of the former camp, where seven thousand and one hundred buried Serbian soldiers and prisoners rest.
