Worth reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasenovac_concentration_camp

> Operated by the governing Ustaše regime, Europe's only Nazi collaborationist regime that operated its own extermination camps

> It quickly grew into the third largest concentration camp in Europe

> Unlike German Nazi-run camps, Jasenovac lacked the infrastructure for mass murder on an industrial scale, such as gas chambers. Instead, it "specialized in one-on-one violence of a particularly brutal kind", and prisoners were primarily murdered with the use of knives, hammers, and axes, or shot

> Ustaše regime having murdered somewhere near 100,000 people in Jasenovac between 1941 and 1945
