titled Kozarčanka, which was widely seen as a symbol of the Partisan resistance in post-war Yugoslavia. A memorial plaque was unveiled at the Reis Saltworks in 1954. In 1964, a sculpture by the visual artist and camp survivor Gabrijela Kolar, titled Unfinished Games (), was unveiled at one of the former camp sites, which had since been transformed into a public park and playground. "Such a concept was intentional," according to the academic Sanja Horvatinčić, "and was meant to console and give hope to the survivors of the war and to the visitors who are faced with the brutal history of the site." Unfinished Games depicts seven children whom Kolar had met while she herself was detained at the camp. A cemetery containing the graves of children who lost their lives at the camp was landscaped in 1974. Monuments commemorating the children who died, such as the ones at the Reis Saltworks and the Sisak Cultural Center, were destroyed in the early 1990s, during the Croatian War of Independence. Kolar's sculpture was spared, but has since fallen into a state of disrepair. The children's cemetery has experienced a similar fate. In post-independence Croatia, the Sisak camp's main building was transformed into a movie theatre and renamed the Crystal Cube of Cheerfulness (). In 2022, the Serbian Orthodox Church canonized the victims of Sisak II along with those of the Jastrebarsko children's camp as the "Saint children martyrs of Jastrebarsko and Sisak". In response, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zagreb sent a letter to Patriarch Porfirije protesting the canonization, stating that "with regard to this matter, the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church has obviously accepted rhetoric and communist propaganda, full of untruths and manipulations, with which it is being attempted to blame innocent people for the alleged torture and murder of children, thousands of whom, owing to the love and care of Croatian Catholics, were saved from death and survived the difficult wartime conditions."
