DARA FROM JASENOVAC

During the 2d World war,

the Independant State of Croatia, lead by the fascist Ustasha Regime,

founded the camp complex of Jasenovac for the extermination of Serbs, Jews and Romani.

It was the only one of its kind in Europe not run by Germans and the only one that had camps

for children in its composition.
