Five kilometers southeast of Vukovar is the Ovčara farm, remembered in contemporary Croatian history as the site of the largest crime in the Homeland War. The hangar, which once served as a storage facility for agricultural machinery, was turned into a camp for non-Serbian residents of the city and its surroundings in September 1991. Today, the Ovčara Memorial Center stands at the site of the hangar, preserving the memory of the wounded and civilians taken from the Vukovar hospital, imprisoned and tortured in the former hangar, and then executed and buried.
