The Krnjeuša massacre, sometimes referred to as the Krnjeuša pogrom (Croatian: Pogrom u Krnjeuši), was a massacre of civilians committed by Chetniks on 9-10 August 1941.[1][2][3][4][5] It was part of the massacres in the southwestern Bosnian Krajina and eastern Lika aimed at ethnically cleansing local Croats.
The Roman Catholic parish of Krnjeuša, established as Parish of Zelinovac in 1892, was a parish of the Diocese of Banja Luka which encompassed 10 settlements (Krnjeuša, lastve, Vranovina, Risovac, Vođenica, Vrtoče, Bjelaj, Teočak, Prkose and Cimeše) in the area near to Bosanski Petrovac[6] numbering around 1300 believers.[7]
The massacre, which started on 9 August 1941, caused the total destruction of the parish. The church, the rectory and majority of houses in parish was burned and demolished. So far, the identity of 240 killed civilians is known including a 34-year-old parish priest, Krešimir Barišić, who was tortured and burned alive.[6][7] Among those killed were 49 children under the age of 12. After the massacre the local Croats fled and the communist authorities refused to allow exiles to return after the war ended in 1945.[7]
