Mapping the Holocaust in Croatia

Camps

In the Independent State of Croatia, there was a welter of different camps running the gamut from short-lived temporary transit camp to concentration camps and death facilities. The Ustaša regime's decidedly proactive involvement in the implementation of the Holocaust can be among other be evidenced from the fact that they were the only German-allied regime that operated their own death camps independent of the Nazi regime.

Jasenovac

The Jasenovac camp complex can be called a hybrid camp facility in the sense that it functioned both as a site of forced labor, as a transit camp, and as a mass-killing center. It included multiple camps, external labor facilities and killing sites. The main camp, Jasenovac, III was located just west of the town of Jasenovac.
