Yeah, there was overall denial of the 1945-46 mass graves at Gakovo too. Not anymore though -- the-60-year-silence
I have several relatives killed and buried there, including a great-grand mother. A few years ago, one of my first cousins (of my mother's generation) told me how her sister K. and a group of other teenaged girls then had to dig the graves, and then how the girls were shot and the first dead in the graves. It was only luck that a Serbian "boy" recognized K. and knew that K.'s father was always friendly and did good business with the Serbs, and how the young man then asked that K. be taken out of the line-up.
I enjoy visiting K. and her older sister ever summer, when it's time to pick the apples and pears from the trees in their yard.
