In October 1944 the Partisans killed two hundred and eighty-seven Danube Swabians including very many children in the village of Homolitz (Omoljica). They were all taken from their homes, one at a time and imprisoned in the town hall . The next morning they were fettered and driven on foot to the brickyards at dawn. There they had to strip themselves of all of their clothes afterwards they were driven to a large pit that had been used in the production of bricks. There they were encircled by Partisans who mowed them down with machine guns and their bodies were thrown into the pit. (www.swabiantrek.com/)
