It is estimated that a total of about 200,000 people met their death [at Jasenovac] during 1941-1942. Crowds of Jewish children were burned alive in the old brick ovens, transformed into crematoria.

Vjekoslav Luburic, commander-in-chef of all the Croatian camps, announced the great "efficiency" of this slaughterhouse at a ceremony on October 9th, 1942... During the banquet which followed, he reported with pride: "We have slaughtered here at Jasenovac more people than the Ottoman Empire was able to do during its occupation of Europe."
