"The morning of Đurđevdan in 1942 was disastrous for the Sarajevo Serbs who were detained in camps and prisons in that town. "On May 6th, in Đurđevdan, the cell door of the Beledija prison opened and the Ustasha still says from the door:" Auj Srbi, Đurđevdan uranak "- still alive that morning professor Dr. Zarko Vidovic survived a witness who was imprisoned in Sarajevo's kazamat with another 3,000 Serbs and Muslims who supported the Serbs.
Serbs were taken out of jail and brought to the City Hall in Sarajevo, where they were waiting for the death tolls to take them to Jasenovac. "The wagons said: 7 horses or 40 soldiers, and we were accommodating 200 people in one wagon, so there was no place for them to stand, much less a place to sit. There was not enough air, and it leads and feeds and we do not speak, "says Žarko Vidović.
In addition to fear and uncertainty, the Serbs followed the route alongside fears and uncertainties: Where do they lead us and where will we end? In those death trails that went to Jasenovac, at one point, the song "Djurdjevdan" was born that first burst from the throat of a young man, a member Cultural and Art Society "Sloga" from Sarajevo, and then this song began to spread from mouth to mouth, from wagon to wagon.
The Ustaše response to that song came very quickly. All the windows on the wagon were closed so that there was almost no air in them, so many Serbs were suffocated and before they reached Slavonski Brod, where they passed on to other wagons that continued on the road to Jasenovac with a wide track. The "Đurđevdan , which Goran Bregović has been working for almost three decades, is a song of sadness and pain, created in human helplessness and despair, as well as the pride and defiance of the Sarajevo Serbs who were transported to Jasenovac in 1942 on Đurđevdan trains, from where he returned only ten 3,000 Serbs were taken away from Sarajevo on Jasenovac on 6 May.
The editor of the film, Branko Stanković, is the author of 18 documentary films and two drama screened at RTS, as well as a number of documentaries, which, as well as films, were rewarded at domestic and international festivals."
