Concentration camps in the Independent State of Croatia
During World War II, there existed numerous Concentration camps in the Independent State of Croatia. Most were operated by the Croatian Ustaša authorities, and some by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.[1]
The first concentration camps established by Ustaše chronologically preceded large German concentration camps like Auschwitz and Treblinka.[2]
