Jasenovac Concentration Camp

Jasenovac was a concentration camp established by the Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia during World War II, operating from 1941 to 1945. It was a site of mass atrocities, where thousands of mostly Jewish, Serb, Roma, and political detainees were imprisoned, forced to work, and murdered under brutal conditions. The camp became a symbol of genocidal violence and ethnic persecution in the Balkans. Today, Jasenovac is remembered as a tragic reminder of the horrors of war and genocide, emphasizing the importance of confronting and preventing such atrocities.
