Hunger, starvation, countless innocent souls were taken away through the wars that have plagued mankind, and those who have witnessed the horror and looked death in the face find it hard to talk about everything that they have survived.

There are no winners. We all lose.

DE PUTA MADRE: This is the most incredible man who has ever set foot in Belgrade!

About the horrors of the Second World War and his incredible destiny, speaks seventy-three year old grandmother, Ester Bayer, a Belgrade resident, who has narrowly escaped a black fate in the Nazi camp at the Old Fair Grounds. She is one of the few Jews who managed to survive.

- My mother was seven months pregnant when she gave birth in the camp and brought me into the world. It was two hours after midnight. My uncle, Dragoljub, saved my life - begins Ester's life story, whose war marked the first day of birth.

While she talks about the fate of her mother, she can not hide her trembling voice.

- She went into the camp pregnant. But volunteered to go! Everyone we knew was there and could not afford to leave them.

Ester was removed from the Fair Grounds by her uncle, Dragoljub Petkovic. She does not remember, but when she was old enough, she found out what happened that fateful night.

- I was small and weak. I barely had one kilogram, because I was born in the seventh month of pregnancy. My uncle had to cope and succeeded at it. That little, he put me in a shoe box that was filled with cotton wool and so I made it out of the the camp.

This amazing event took place on January 13, 1942, after which she ended up in the house of Zvečanska, where she spent three years. Ester was later brought up by her grandparents, she learned about her fate when she went to primary school.

- My grandpa told me that I was a Jew and tried to explain what happened. Of course, I was young and did not know the importance of these words. As I grew up, I realized everything I lived through ... the trauma remains forever, no matter how much time has passed.

Throughout life, she dealt with difficult jobs, and was left without her grandmother who raised her, in her fourteenth year, which was another heavy blow.

We took Esther to the fairgrounds. Going there, for her, was shocking ... as she walked down the stairs, she turned to us with the words:

- War is the greatest evil that man can create. It does not matter who we are by nationality, it is important that we are people.

She was silent for a long time and, without a word, watched the river.

All registered Jews in Belgrade were ordered to report to the office of the Jewish police (Judenreferat). Between December 8-13, the Jews were escorted across a pontoon bridge to the camp, where the number of prisoners, until December 12 was 5,281. Bringing the Jews from Banjica, from Sabac, Nis, Kosovska Mitrovica, Novi Pazar, Raska, refugees from Belgrade and Central Europe, the number of detainees in the camp between December 8, 1941 to the end of April 1942 rose to 7,000, of which 6,400 Jews and 600 Roma. In that time Serbia was occupied.

Of a total of 17,800 Jews who lived in occupied Serbia (occupied by NDH, Independent state of Croatia) and Banat, 14,800 of them were killed.
