The Jewish families of Sanski Most are arrested by Ustaše authorities along with other residents targeted by the regime, and driven to the camps.
Sanski Most, on the Sana river in northwestern Bosnia, was home to a few Jewish families who had settled there since the Austro-Hungarian era, living from trade and the crafts of the small town. The Ustasha regime stripped them of their possessions from its very first racial decrees, and the militia then arrested them during the summer, at the same time as it struck massively at the Serbian population of the region — the town was one of the first sites of mass killings in the new State. The Jews of Sanski Most were taken to the camps opened in Slavonia and disappeared there. No Jewish community was ever reconstituted in the town.
