Place of Remembrance - Vukovar Hospital — Attraction in Vukovar

I was on a school trip when I was visiting the Hospital, Hospital is in use but the memorial part is mostly unused, they showed us really sad and disturbing video which showed the recordings from the Homeland War, they were also mentioning how around 260 people were taken from Hospital to Ovčara, where they were, sadly, murdered...Back then in the Hospital there was only ONE surgery table which is not in use, there is a giant, heavy bomb which fell in the middle of Serbian patient's legs during the War, and bomb didn't even explode. In the hallway there is a long walk which has floor tiles on the left side where it has written all the critical and crucial moments of the War in the Hospital. It has a few unused rooms which are there to show the stimulation of Hospital rooms back then. And the most important sign of the Hospital is a red Cross with holes in it, because back in the War there was a red Cross in front of the Hospital so Serbians and Yugoslavian National Army (JNA) used to shoot in it to frighten patients,...

This musuem, within the basement of a functioning hospital, must be seen to begin to comprehend the inhuman suffering inflicted upon the civilians and volunteer defenders of Vukovar during the Croatian Homeland War of 1991 by the Serd lead Yugoslav "People's" Army (JNA). As a teen I watched events unfold in Croatia on my TV from the other side of the world, and thought I had a good grasp of it, but one cannot leave here without being moved. Difficult to find due to lack of signage, but definitely worth visiting. Warning: small children, and the weak of heart, may find the short introductory documentary film distressing as it contains war footage and emergency surgical procedures. See the hospital first, the site where 200+ wounded were seized after the fall of Vukovar in November 1991, before heading to Ovčara, where they were slaughtered and buried in a nearby mass grave. Then visit the cemetery. Every Croatian needs to see Vukovar for what happened here must never be forgotten,...

Tijekom srpske agresije na Vukovar 1991. godine u podrumu su bile smještene bolničke službe s odjelima te organiziran smještaj ranjenika. Na samom ulazu u muzejski prostor, posjetitelji imaju prigodu pogledati videozapis o stradanju bolnice u Domovinskom ratu te kroz natpise na zidnim pločicama podruma pratiti kronologiju stradanja bolnice u razdoblju od 2. travnja do 18. studenoga 1991. godine. Posebnom tehnikom na podrumskim zidovima utisnuta su imena i prezimena hrvatskih branitelja i medicinskog osoblja odvedenih iz vukovarske bolnice i pogubljenih na Ovčari 20. studenoga 1991. U nekadašnjem atomskom skloništu, uz pomoć lutaka, prikazani su ranjenici u krevetima te novorođenčad u inkubatorima, a cijelokupni je ugođaj upotpunjen audio i vizualnim efektima. Prema podacima napisanima na pločicama muzejskog prostora, kroz vukovarsku bolnicu tijekom rata prošlo je najmanje 2500 ranjenika od kojih su većina bili civili. Najmlađi ranjenik imao je šest mjeseci, a najstariji 88 godina, dok je u bolnici tijekom tromjesečne opsade Vukovara rođeno 16 djece .Tijekom srpske agresije na Vukovar 1991. godine dnevno je na bolnicu padalo od 70 do 80 granata, a bilo je i dana kada je palo i do 700 projektila.
