 Torac, or at the time still known as Begejci, has the dubious distinction of having been drawn into the era of terrible deeds which occurred during this period of tragic events.Torac became a site where a Begejci camp was set up outside the town.This camp, operated by elements of "JNA" (Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija) (Yugoslav National Army=Armata Naţională Iugoslavă), 
was established in the fall of 1991 to where hundreds of detainees (Croat soldiers and civilians) were brought especially following the fall of the Croat town of Vukovar on 18 November 1991.
