Prehrambene kartice koncentracijskih logora Jasenovac i Stara Gradiška (1941./42. - 1945.) ; Food Cards of the Concentration Camps of Jasenovac and Stara Gradišta (1941/42 – 1945)
Prikazane su prehrambene kartice koje su koristili zatočenici koncentracijskih logora Jasenovac (1941.-1945.) i Stara Gradiška (1942.-1945.). Naime, zatočenici su karticama, koje su izdavane mjesečno, podizali dnevne obroke (doručak, objed i večeru). Gubitak je kartice za sobom povlačio gubitak prava na hranu te su stoga, iako ne u pravom smislu riječi, one bile jedna vrsta platežnoga sredstva unutar logora. Prikazano je devet kartica za prehranu, sedam ih je korišteno u logoru Jasenovac, a dvije su prehrambene kartice izdane i korištene u logoru Stara Gradiška ; The article describes the camp food cards that were used in Jasenovac (1941-1945) and Stara Gradiška (1942-1945), the concentration and work camps of the Independent State of Croatia. The food cards were issued monthly and the inmates used them to draw their daily meals (breakfast, lunch and supper). Although the food cards were issued by name and could not be transferred, their loss entailed the loss of the right to food so they could be interpreted as a kind of camp currency, although not in the real sense of the word. The article shows nine food cards that belonged to five prisoners: seven of the cards were used in the Jasenovac Camp and two were used in the Stara Gradiška Camp. Camp currency (coupons and food cards) was very widespread in camps throughout Europe during the Second World War and immediately after it. Camp coupons were also in use in some camps for interned civilians founded by the military authorities of the Kingdom of Italy on the eastern Adriatic coast during the Second World War. Although the use of camp currency (coupons and food cards) was widespread, and has been described in scholarly and professional literature, there has to date been no mention of the prisoners' food cards shown in this article, used in the Ustasha concentration and work camps of Jasenovac and Stara Gradiška.
