The opening of the Jasenovac concentration camp in 1941 marked a dark chapter in Croatian history. Located in Croatia, it was one of the largest and most notorious concentration camps in Europe during World War II. The camp was used by the Ustaše, a Croatian fascist regime, to imprison, torture, and exterminate thousands of Serbs, Jews, Roma, and political dissidents. The cruelty and inhumanity witnessed at Jasenovac are deeply engrained in the memory of those affected and serve as a reminder of the horrors of war and genocide. The camp's legacy stands as a symbol of the importance of remembrance, education, and the prevention of such atrocities in the future. #Croatia #Jasenovac #ConcentrationCamp #WWII #NeverForget
