Abstract
Before World War Two the Serbs, Jews and Romanies lived in the Kalnik area as ethnic minorities. During the War the Jews and Romanies were exterminated in Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška by ustashas or by Nazi in Auschwitz. The Serbs were partly expatriated and partly converted to Catholicism (Greek Catholic or Roman Catholic service). Based upon documents from the Croatian State Archives, statements given after the War and demographic records from 1931 and
1948, the author tries to come to new perceptions covering the suffering of national and religious minorities in 1941. The paper covers the areas of Koprivnica, Križevci, Ludbreg and Novi Marof, that is to say regions closely linked to Kalnik and Kalnik foothills.
