The Banski Grabovac massacre was the mass killing of 1,100-1,200 Serb civilians by the Croatian fascist Ustaše movement on 24-25 July 1941, during World War II.

After the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia, Adolf Hitler set up the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), a puppet state ruled by the fascist Croatian Ustaše regime led by Ante Pavelić.[1] The Ustaše then embarked on a campaign of genocide against the Serb, Jewish and Roma population within the borders of the state.[2]

The massacre occurred after acts of resistance against the NDH by armed Serbian peasants.[3] The first major clash between the Ustaše and anti-fascists in the territory of Croatia took place in the village of Banski Grabovac on July 23-24 when 42 rebels charged a municipal building and train station, seizing more than 50 rifles.[4] On July 24-25, the Ustaše captured the village and arrested more than 1,200 Serbs from surrounding villages.[4][5] Approximately 800 people were shot and killed on the spot while others were taken to the Jadovno concentration camp and killed there.[3] Nearly the entire village's Serb population was annihilated.[5] Those killed on location were buried in mass graves near the village's station.[3]
