One of the largest and few concentration camps outside of Germany during World War II was at Jasenovac in the Nazi puppet state known as the Independent State of Croatia. In the new film “Dara of Jasenovac,” we see a rare side of the Holocaust from another part of Europe and from the eyes of a 10-year-old girl.
“Dara of Jasenovac” is Serbia’s submission for the Best International Feature race at the Oscars, and it documents a moment in history that still sits at a contested area between Croatia and Serbia. TheWrap can exclusively share the above trailer from 101 Studios ahead of its limited theatrical release. But while Holocaust films are highly common at the Academy Awards, this film from director Predrag Peter Antonijevic is a true story you haven’t heard.

Wrinkly rockers The Rolling Stones have canceled a concert in the Serbian capital Belgrade because of security concerns The hitmakers decided their safety could be at risk after the assassination of the country's prime minister Zoran Djindjic in March. Maksa Catovic, chief manager of the Belgrade-based Komuna agency, which booked the group, said the band first informed them the concert was off only days after Djindjic was killed. Komuna, backed by the Serbian government and some Western embassies, then tried to persuade them to change their mind but lawyers for the group "informed us today that the concert is definitely canceled," Catovic said. Serbian authorities declared a state of emergency after Djindjic was killed and launched a major sweep against an underworld clan they accused of masterminding the killing. The emergency measures were abolished in April, but tensions still persist. The concert was to be held on August 2, as part of the Stones' current world tour.
