Topovske Šupe

Topovske Šupe (Serbian Cyrillic: Топовске Шупе) was a concentration camp located in the Belgrade neighbourhood of Autokomanda in Serbia which was operated by Nazi Germany with the help of Milan Nedić's quisling government during the Second World War.

It was opened in August 1941[1] at the site of a former military base.[2] The camp operated until December of that year. Over 5.000 people were killed at the camp.[3] There are sources with information that 250—450 Jews murdered on location Trostruki Surduk at the end of September 1941 were brought from the concentration camp Topovske Šupe.[4]

In early 2006 a park and memorial plaque were unveiled at the former site of the camp.[5] The memorial was vandalized near the end of 2006, but later repaired.[6]
