History

The truth was short-lived.

The Holocaust of Jews in World War II, like everywhere else in the world, did not bypass Banja Luka either. In the Gospić-Jadovno-Jasenovac-Stara Gradiška death camp systems, 85% of the members of both Jewish municipalities of Banja Luka perished.  

The remaining Banja Luka Jewish population that came out tortured from the war was taken aback by the draconian laws on the nationalization of the young Titoist state in 1946, confiscating the alleged "surplus" property and was thus forced to further migrate to Israel, America and Canada, when only to obtain a visa had to leave the entire property.
