Jasenovac concentration camp<\/b> (Serbo-Croatian<\/a>: Logor Jasenovac <\/i><\/span>and Cyrillic<\/a>: \u041b\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0440 \u0408\u0430\u0441\u0435\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0446<\/span>; Yiddish<\/a>: \u05d9\u05d0\u05e1\u05e2\u05e0\u05d0\u05d5\u05d5\u05d0\u05e5<\/span>, sometimes spelled „Yasenovatz“) was an extermination camp<\/a> established in Slavonia<\/a> by the authorities of the Independent State of Croatia<\/a> (NDH) during World War II<\/a>. The camp was established by the governing Usta\u0161e<\/a> regime and not operated by Nazi Germany<\/a>,[3]<\/a><\/sup> and was one of the largest concentration camps in Europe.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

$\"IMG_20140829_154636\"$ From August 1941 it existed in marshland at the confluence of the Sava<\/a> and Una<\/a> rivers near the village of Jasenovac<\/a>. It was dismantled in April 1945. It was „notorious for its barbaric practices and the large number of victims“.[5]<\/a><\/sup> In Jasenovac, the majority of victims were ethnic Serbs<\/a>, whom the Usta\u0161e wanted to remove from the NDH, along with the Jews<\/a>, anti-fascist or dissident Croatians<\/a>, and gypsies<\/a>. Jasenovac was a complex of five subcamps [6]<\/a><\/sup> spread over 210\u00a0km^{2<\/sup> (81\u00a0sq\u00a0mi) on both banks of the Sava and Una rivers. The largest camp was the „Brickworks“ camp at}Jasenovac<\/a>, about 100\u00a0km (62\u00a0mi) southeast of Zagreb<\/a>. The overall complex included the Stara Gradi\u0161ka sub-camp<\/a>, the killing grounds across the Sava river at Donja Gradina<\/a>, five work farms, and the U\u0161tica<\/a> Roma camp.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

During and since World War II, there has been much debate and controversy regarding the number of victims killed at the Jasenovac concentration camp complex in its more than 3\u00bd years of operation.[7]<\/a><\/sup> Gradually, in the 15 years after the war ended, a figure of 700,000 began to reflect conventional wisdom, although estimates range between 350,000 and 800,000.[7]<\/a><\/sup> The authorities of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia conducted a population survey in 1964 that showed a far lower figure, but kept it a secret; when Vladimir \u017derjavi\u0107<\/a> published such lower figures in the 1980s, he was criticized by Antun Mileti\u0107<\/a> among others,[7]<\/a><\/sup> but his research has since been considered trustworthy by authorities on World War II Yugoslav history such as Jozo Tomasevich<\/a>.[7]<\/a><\/sup>[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum<\/a> (USHMM) in Washington, D.C. presently estimates that the Usta\u0161a regime murdered between 77,000 and 99,000 people in Jasenovac between 1941 and 1945.[2]<\/a><\/sup> The Jasenovac Memorial Site quotes a similar figure of between 80,000 and 100,000 victims.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
