Jasenovac concentration camp was a complex of concentration and extermination camps established by the fascist Ustaše regime in Croatia during World War II. It was located near the town of Jasenovac, about 100 kilometers southeast of Zagreb.
The camp was operational from August 1941 to April 1945 and had a reputation as one of the most brutal and sadistic concentration camps of the Second World War. Estimates of the total number of victims vary widely, with the most commonly cited figure being around 100,000, mainly ethnic Serbs, Jews, and Roma.
Prisoners at Jasenovac were subjected to forced labor, torture, and medical experiments, as well as mass shootings, gassings, and other methods of extermination. The camp complex was divided into several different sections, including a women's camp, a children's camp, and a "punishment" section where prisoners were subjected to particularly severe forms of abuse.
After the war, a Yugoslav government commission established to investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity at Jasenovac estimated that over 700,000 people had been imprisoned at the camp, with between 80,000 and 100,000 of them being killed. The exact numbers of victims remain a matter of controversy and debate among historians.
