Sažetak
This paper, based on an unprocessed source, provides an overview of events in the Ustasha camp Đurđevac during 1942 and early 1943. This is the period when the camp was headed by Đuro Matoničkin from Virje, and a few months before he became camp commander. Thanks to Đuro Matoničkin, the original material used in this work has been preserved, since it is his legacy that he preserved in the attic. This collection of documents was found by Miroslav Pisačić from Virje several decades after Matoničkin’s death, and it is in his possession. The collection consists of unique documents of the Ustasha camp Đurđevac that have not been preserved anywhere else, and their processing complements previous research on the turbulent times of the Second World War in the area of Đurđevac region of Podravina. In addition to the administrative functioning of the camp, the paper explains the complex relations within the Ustasha organization, details of the Preparatory Battalion and events caused by the danger of war, propaganda activities of the rulers, harvest organization, repressive behavior of Ustashas, and the process of examining the property origins of wealthier individuals.
