A part of these archives is also to be found outside Croatia - in Belgrade. This group, which is the largest, contains lists of the Jews, figures about camps and victims, treatment of the Jews in public life, lists of Jewish properties and confiscation of these properties. The second group consists of documents on the activities of the Anti-Fascist Partisan Movement, especially the ZAVNOH (Antifascist Council for the Liberation of Croatia). They provide details about the efforts of anti-Fascists in assisting the Jews. The third group consists of documents which came out after 1944 as a result of the activities of the committees of the People's Republic of Croatia, whose task was to establish the facts about the crimes committed by the occupying forces and their supporters. These are stored in the State Committee File in the Croatian State Archive, as well as in district, community and city files in regional archives. All these contain detailed figures about victims and crimes committed in camps and various sites in Croatia. The fourth group consists of documents produced after 1945 as a result of legal proceedings conducted by the State Security Office against those accused of crimes committed in World War II. This documentation which was received after 1990 by the Croatian State Archive, provides an account of the atrocities against the Jews. Finally, the fifth group consists of various press-clippings, photos, memoirs, archives of the Jewish communities, and private archives. The most significant part of the archival material is stored in the Croatian State Archive 12 , and by its nature, summarizes the archival materials of other lower bodies kept in regional archives. Therefore, this presentation will focus primarily on the holdings of the Croatian State Archive and the materials about atrocities against the Jews that are stored in the Croatian Historical Museum. 2.1.
