Summary/Abstract: In this article the author writes about the genocide suffered by Serbs, Roma and Jews in the area of Slatina and Virovitica in 1941 and 1942. Using original documents from the Croatian State Archives and also published articles, books and documents, the author tries to present the destinies of ethnic and religious minorities in the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) especially in the area of Slatina and Virovitica (Western Slavonia). The article brings forward new views on some already elaborated topics (for example, the begining of uprising in Slavonia, or execution of the peasants from the village of Kometnik), but also some entirely new data. In the conclusion, the author offers statistical data about the number of members of ethnic and religious minorities in 1931 and 1948.
