The four memorials are along the walkways that are situated on the top of two hills. Between those hills there is a valley with a little brook. This valley was the scene of most of the executions and a place where the dead were buried. Some investigations and excavations after the WWII confirm the places of the mass graves. Now there are several smaller memorials, rather similar to the first memorial placed along the walkways through the valley. These memorials were designed by Vojin Bakic.
