THE Novi Sad massacre

The Novi Sad massacre, or the “Novi Sad raid,” took place in January 1942. The operation was initially launched as a raid against partisans, but Hungarian military units in Bácska (in and around Novi Sad), which had been retaken in the spring of 1941, carried out an ethnically motivated massacre with approximately 3,300–3,800 victims. Most of the victims were ethnic Serbs, while the number of Jewish civilian victims was around one thousand.
