Croatia’s Jewish community was almost wiped out in the Holocaust after the invasion by the Axis powers and the creation in 1941 of the Ustase-ruled Independent State of Croatia in parts of occupied Yugoslavia. About 20,000 of 25,000 Jews were killed, most of them at the Jasenovac concentration camp. The inmates, who also included Serbs, Roma, Muslims and Croatian Communists and intellectuals, were brutally murdered by hanging, stabbing or beatings with hammers by their Ustase captors.Confiscations of Jewish property began in 1941. Jews were evicted from their homes and forced to leave behind their belongings, which were appropriated or sold by the new inhabitants (English)
