It is estimated that around 30,000 people were held in the camp and around 12,000 people were murdered, most of whom were citizens of the city of Niš. 10,000 people were executed on Bubanj Hill, which was located in the immediate vicinity of the concentration camp, where the present memorial is also located. Many of the prisoners were taken to other concentration camps such as the Sajmište concentration camp or other camps in Europe.
