Child Martyrs of Jastrebarsko and Sisak

The Child Martyrs of Jastrebarsko and Sisak were Serbian children who perished in 1942 in the children's camps at Jastrebarsko and Sisak, in the Independent State of Croatia. Left without parents after massacres and military operations, they were gathered into these camps, where they died of disease, hunger and neglect.

The Jastrebarsko camp operated from 12 July until October 1942 and received 3,336 children in all; historians reckon that between 449 and 1,500 of them died. In the children's camp Sisak II, opened in the summer of 1942 and dissolved in January 1943, estimates of the dead run from 1,160 to 1,600. Many other children were saved by the efforts of Diana Budisavljević and others.

The Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church numbered them among the saints in 2022. At first their commemoration was on 13 August, old style (26 August, new style); in 2025 the Assembly moved it to 30 June, old style (13 July, new style).
