Omarska (Serbian Cyrillic: Омарска) is a small town near Prijedor in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina. The town includes an old iron mine and ore processing plant. During the Bosnian War it was the site of the Omarska concentration camp.

History

World War II

During World War II, a massacre of Bosnian Serb civilians occurred in Omarska by the Ustaše.[1]

Bosnian War

The Omarska camp was a concentration camp run by Bosnian Serb forces in Omarska, set up for Bosniak and Croat men and women during the Prijedor massacre.[2][3] Functioning in the first months of the Bosnian War in 1992, it was one of 677 alleged detention centers and camps set up throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war.[4] While nominally an "investigation center" or "assembly point" for members of the non-Serb population,[2] Human Rights Watch classified Omarska as a concentration camp.[5]
