in the camp and at the sub-camp with the children. Pulherija railed against all this but was unable to stop it. Disease and deaths The parlous state of the children's health is apparent when at one point, 400 were suffering from dysentery, 300 had measles, 200 had typhoid, 200 had diphtheria and another 100 had mumps. Many children were also suffering from scurvy due to the poor diet. Based on incomplete records, monthly mortality figures have been given as: July – 153; August – 216; September – 67; and October – 8. To these can be added five children who died in hospital in Zagreb, for a total of 449. Lukić states that this figure, and the figure of 468 victims which is engraved on the monument to the victims of the camp in Jastrebarsko, are unreliable. He cites documentary evidence provided by the local gravedigger Franjo Ilovar, whose notes indicate a much higher mortality among the children. Ilovar listed a total of 768 burials of children at the Jastrebarsko cemetery, but Lukić points out that Ilovar was not the only gravedigger burying children, and further reports that Ilovar himself believed that the figure on the monument was too low. A survivor interviewed in 2010 quoted Ilovar as saying that he buried 1,018 children from the camp. A news report in 2010 stated that 1,500 children died in the camp. According to the records of the Croatian Red Cross, of the 1,507 Kozaran children brought to Jastrebarsko, 163 died. When the children died, they were placed into empty sugar crates which were stacked along the fence of the camp awaiting disposal. Lukić notes that the mortality rate among the children at Jastrebarsko was much lower than that of children at Stara Gradiška and Sisak for two reasons. Firstly, almost half the children at Jastrebarsko were older children more able to cope with the harsh conditions. More importantly, from the end of July, twenty-six volunteer nurses from the teachers' school at Rude near Samobor, along with several doctors and other medical personnel, under the leadership of Marinić, began to intervene with the camp administration and Ustaše guards to improve the health of the children. The Ustaše propaganda soon took advantage of the improved condition of the children. Partial liberation of camp The local Partisans had been advised of the presence of the camp and the children, probably by Branko Davila, a
