Summary/Abstract: Attached are several documents from the archive of the Tuzla canton, which bring testimony on the stay of Todor Žuža from Gornja Lohinja near Gračanica in the Jasenovac concentration camp, and his unusual escape from the camp. The documents, primarily the statements made by Žuža himself and two of his neighbors and friends from the camp were created at the request of the Communist Party, which Žuža was a member of. Žuža was arrested in March 1942 with a large group of locals from his village and sent to Jasenovac. For a time he was assigned to forced labor in Feričani near Našice, and in the Bosanska Gradiška area. He remained in the camp until the end of May 1944. He escaped to the Kozara Mountain with a group of comrades, aided by one of the guards, and joined the partisans.
