Petrovdan in Omarska, 1992: The Night of Fire According to Detainees' Testimonies
In the summer of 1992, on the night around the Orthodox holiday of Petrovdan, guards at the Omarska camp near Prijedor, according to detainees' testimonies, set a pile of tires on fire and called out prisoners by name from the hangar. Survivors testified that people were driven to run around the fire and thrown into the flames. The number of victims that night has never been established.
