In historiography, the author researches the completely disregarded Roma victims in Medjimurje during World War II. With the help of published works in Hungary he focuses on the concentration camp Komarom where a great number of Roma were fatally executed by the end of 1944. He confirms that all residents of the Roma village Trnovec have been transported to the mentioned concentration camp and among them he tries to identify the victims by name. In so doing, he uses oral testimonies of survivors, parish registers and lists of war victims that have been made in the time of Yugoslavia. It is evident, from the list that the majority of victims were children, and that one part of the adults was taken over to the Dachau camp in Germany. Besides the fate of the ones taken to concentration camps, he researched the isolated case of the Allied bombing of a line of Roma in Draskovec in the so called, march of death" right before the end of war operations. With the help of witness oral testimonies and a few short reports about the event, he determines the number of casualties and identifies the presently unmarked mass grave in Draskovec
