Mass-grave maps drawn from memory in prison (2009)

Contains allegations

Editorial review pending. This record names private individuals and/or contains allegations of criminal conduct. It is reproduced as historical testimony and is excluded from search engines until the review is complete.

Editorial introduction · written for the 2026 reconstruction

Between April and September 2009 crorambo.com published a series of maps of Croatia annotated by hand. The accompanying note, reproduced below, says they were made from memory in prison. Later updates were posted under the heading “webmaster message”, which suggests that someone outside the prison maintained the website. How the maps reached the webmaster is not documented in the surviving files.

The locations marked are allegations of crimes. They have not been checked against exhumation records. Any researcher using them should compare them with the records of the Croatian Ministry of Croatian Veterans (missing persons) and the ICMP.
