Investors hope to turn a once morbid institution full of death and suffering into a place of joy and memories on a small island in the Adriatic Sea. Mamula Island, or locally known as Lastavica, was once a military fort, but during World War II morphed into a concentration camp under the control of Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini. Now, 71 years later, the Montenegrin government has sparked outrage all over the world by announcing the location’s renovation plans. Signs of the prison camp will be wiped away and its walls will be filled with a luxury resort with restaurants, shops and a museum with a memorial dedicated to the victims of the WWII camp. Overall, roughly 2,300 people perished within its walls. Among the broad scheme of other concentration camps, this seems minor, but not to the families who live near Mamula and have relatives who died there. They claim that not only is it disrespectful, but that it’s also representative of how investors are nothing but money driven and that people have no respect for history. Despite complaints, construction is already in motion. Renovators plan to preserve the architecture to keep its historical significance.
