Abstract
The author presents the processed original archival data on the public-health-related and sociological problems concerning one hundred children – war refugees from the Potkozarje area, who were moved to Bjelovar and the Bjelovar area between the summer of 1942 and 1943, accompanied by the events in the publicist writing and war documentation of that time. The paper will fill the void or offer a solution in the context of doubts concerning the events having taken place during World War Two, and the care for a large number of children at the State Hospital in Bjelovar, where the scarce staff of physicians and sisters of mercy were commendably conducting their mission in difficult wartime and other social and political circumstances.
