This the place where you can fill the pain of the young innocent people and others that lost their lives for somebody else ideal of future. Enormous injustice that can't be undone with any monument, word or pray. Just WHY.

Others have already written everything about this monument. All that remains is for me to bow to all these innocent victims of the misguided politics of fascism.

October in Kragujevac Memorial Park(Serbian: Spomen-park „Kragujevački oktobar", Спомен-парк „Крагујевачки октобар"), also known as Šumarice Memorial Park(Memorijalni park Šumarice, Меморијални парк Шумарице), is the site near Kragujevac, Serbia of the execution of an estimated 3,000 men and boys of the town by the Germanoccupation forces on October 21, 1941, during World War II. According to noted historian Philip J. Cohen, "All males from the town between the ages of sixteen and sixty were assembled and the victims -- including high school students -- were selected from among them." Monuments within the park include the monument to the murdered schoolchildren and their teachers (the "Interrupted Flight" monument); the "Monument of pain and defiance"; the "One hundred for one" monument; the "Resistance and Freedom" monument, and the monument to shoe cleaners.

Šumarice Memorial Park is the site near Kragujevac, of the execution of an estimated 2,800 men and boys of the town by the German occupation forces on October 21, 1941, during WW2. Among the dead were hundreds of high school students. The 21 October Museum was designed by architect Ivan Antić is located at the site of the massacre.

Beautiful park and monument remembering of the most cruel war crime of WWII.

A beautiful park dedicated to one of the saddest and most tragic events, more precisely the crimes committed in the Second World War, in this area.

Currently, the monument is unfortunately being restored and cleaned. Otherwise, it is highly recommended and a must see in Kragujevac. The whole Šumarice Memorial Park is beautifully landscaped and well maintained. This historical place was built in memory of October 21 1941 an atrocity happened just outside Kragujevac, when 3,000 men and boys aged 16 to 60 were rounded up in Kragujevac and neighbouring villages and shot. This act was a response to attacks by Partisans and Chetniks that had killed ten German soldiers. The site of the massacre has been left as a memorial, and in the 1960s the artist Miodrag Živković created a series of sculptures for the park. You can pick up an audioguide to give you the background on the events of October 1941, and what each memorial represents.
