Autokomanda

Autokomanda is a neighbourhood in Belgrade, as well as space on the highway passing through Belgrade. It is located on the border of the city municipalities Vozdovac, Savski venac and Vracar. The most important building in the village is one of the two largest throughabout intersections in the center of Belgrade, and the second one is Mostarska petlja. It is located on the highway Belgrade - Nis which passes through the city center.

The bronze monument to the French General Louis Franchet d'Espèrey, who commanded the Serbian forces of the Salonika front in the World War I, was built at Autokomanda. Part of the highway from Mostar to Autokomanda throughabout is officially called Bulevar Louis Franchet d'Espèrey.

Less known information even to Belgraders is that on Autokomanda from August to December 1941 there was a Nazi concentration camp for Jews and Romani people from Belgrade and Banat. All were declared hostages and several hundred were daily taken away to be shot. It was not until 2005 that a memorial plaque was placed in memory of the victims of the World War II.
