Doctor Sava Stojanovic prevented the deportation of more than 300 Roma from Trstenik to the Nazi camps
One of the bravest doctors in Serbia - Dr. Sava Stanojevic, in World War II, saved more than 300 of his Roma patients in Trstenik.
Today, the Health Center in this city bears his name not by chance.
According to his false statement that there was allegedly a typhus epidemic among the Roma from Trstenik, the Germans were not allowed to deport them due to the declaration of contagion.
- Dr. Sava never said that he was tired, "I can't and I won't be able to" - say the sources. - All sick people examined, all children in schools examined and vaccinated. He went to the patient's apartment in the city and through the countryside, by carriage and on foot, regardless of weather and weather conditions,
- In memory of the great man of our health and humanist, the Roma from Trstenik celebrate October 14, the day of rescue from the German occupiers, as Thanksgiving Day.
