Summary/Abstract: On the basis of statements and data published primarily in various lists of victims – lists of human losses in World War II and the post-war period, names and numbers are given as indicators of human losses, victims, i.e. of people from Malo Nabrđe who died, were killed or who disappeared, as well as of soldiers and civilians during World War II and the immediate post-war period. In all, 44 persons from Malo Nabrđe, who lost their lives to violence (16 soldiers, 28 civilians), are mentioned in various lists of human losses. Among them 19 Serbs are recorded; according to the records of the victim lists, 15 of them lost their lives in the camps of the NDH (Independent State of Croatia), 14 persons in Jasenovac and 1 person in Stara Gradiška, five of whom were Serbian women who, according to records from the victim lists, lost their lives in the camps of Jasenovac and/or of Stara Gradiška or were killed in their homes by Ustashas. According to the entries from the list of victims, 25 Croatians, Germans and Hungarians from Malo Nabrđe (records from the victim lists often provide contradictory information, hence it is not clear whether the persons were Croatian, German or Hungarian) lost their lives during World War II and the post-war period. However, according to the review of entries on every single person reported as human loss in the victim lists, a series of ambiguities and inaccuracies can undoubtedly be determined. Some of the recorded persons were not from Malo Nabrđe, i.e. when they lost their lives, they did not live in Malo Nabrđe. In many cases persons born in Malo Nabrđe, but living somewhere else, were recorded as Malo Nabrđe human losses. It is noticeable that the lists on human losses from Malo Nabrđe contain records of non-existent persons, i.e. entries with incorrect names and surnames of persons supposedly from Malo Nabrđe. Moreover, the victim lists in some cases contain records of persons who undoubtedly lost their lives, but cannot be considered victims of World War II and the post-war period.
