[This documentary film was made after the liberation of the village and camp of Jasenovac. Footage including camp inmates and labor scenes were filmed earlier, by Ustasa, with obvious propaganda in mind. Their goal was to contest rumors of mass killings and torture that took place in Jasenovac. These films were found in the Ustasa Film Archives, after the liberation of Zagreb. The historical research and background information was provided by the War Crimes Commission and camp survivors.]

- Film Provenance
- The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum saved the Jasenovac Memorial Collection from deterioration in 2000. The collection was stored in an archive in Banja Luka, Republika Srpska, where it had been moved during the war in the early 1990s. After signing agreements with appropriate government officials of Croatia and Republika Srpska in 2001, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum transported the collection's thousands of 3-dimensional artifacts, photographs, documents, films, and oral testimonies to Washington. Materials were conserved, photographed, microfilmed, or otherwise copied for access, and returned to the Jasenovac Memorial [Memorijalni muzej Jasenovac], located on the site of the former concentration camp near Zagreb, Croatia, in November 2001.
- Note
- Originally labeled Can #9
Gospic is the name of a Croatian town that was heavily populated by Serbians.
