Jasenovac monument was created in 1966.
Veliki Jasenovac's population is 396.
Jasenovac is located in Croatia, near the confluence of the Sava and Una rivers, approximately 100 kilometers southeast of the capital, Zagreb. It is most infamously known for the Jasenovac concentration camp established during World War II, where thousands of people, primarily Serbs, Jews, and Roma, were murdered. The site has since become a memorial and a symbol of the atrocities committed during the war.
Edam was not an infamous extermination camp - it is a cheese. Was this question supplied with multiple choice answers perchance. The multiple choice was Leningrad Treblinka Auschwitz Jasenovac
Auschwitz, Birkenau, Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Maly Trostenets, Jasenovac, Majdanek, Sajmiste... (It's possible that I forgot to list some)

Some of the camps were Dachau, Auschwitz and Stutthof. Auschwitz was the largest of all the concentration camps. Others included: Bergen-Belsen, Bernberg, Buchenwald, Chelmno, Janowska, Jasenovac, Maly Trostenets, Plaszow, Ravensbrück, Sobibor, Tobruk, Treblinka
The Ustasi were Croatian Nazis and they ran their own camps and carried out their very own Croatian holocaust. The best known and biggest Ustasi (Croatian Nazi) camp was Jasenovac, where many victims were murdered with blunt instruments, such as cudgels.

In April 1945, as Partisan units approached the camp, the Ustaše camp supervisors attempted to erase traces of the atrocities by working the death camp at full capacity. On 22 April, 600 prisoners revolted; 520 were killed and 80 escaped.[139] Before abandoning the camp shortly after the prisoner revolt, the Ustaše killed the remaining prisoners, blasted and destroyed the buildings, guardhouses, torture rooms, the "Picili Furnace", and the other structures. Upon entering the camp, the partisans found only ruins, soot, smoke, and dead bodies. During the following months of 1945, the grounds of Jasenovac were thoroughly destroyed by prisoners of war. The Allied forces captured 200 to 600 Home Guard members. Laborers completed destruction of the camp, leveling the site and dismantling the two-kilometer long, four-meter high wall that surrounded it.
Jasenovac, along with numerous other camps such as Belzec and Sobibor aren't as popular at camps such as Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. Each concentration camp effected someone's life in one way or another and contributed to history. Yes, it was the largest extermination camp in Croatia and Serbs and Gypsies perished there. But when referring to the Holocaust, your average person thinks of the main victims; Jews.Sobibor is where the biggest revolt in a Nazi concentration camp took place.Belzec is known for having two survivors.Bergen-Belsen is where Anne Frank and her sister perished.Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel was a prisoner in Buchenwald (after being transferred from Auschwitz III).A Dachau sub-camp was liberated by the Americans is featured in Band of Brothers (2001) a famous mini-series by Steven Spielberg.Still, Auschwitz would be the most famous concentration camp because it killed three million people. Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27, is when the Russians liberated Auschwitz.When liberating Bergen-Belsen, the British made sure it got press coverage. Knowing the world would be skeptical, they took pictures, made journals/diaries, made videos.I believe the reason is the main victims of Jasenovac were Serbs, not Jews. Also, the liberation wasn't as big as some._____Auschwitz, which very few people had heard of before 1944-45, acquired an iconic status very early after World War II. Before the term the Holocaust came into widespread use, people often used the word Auschwitz instead. (Incidentally, the figure of 3 million dead at Auschwitz is far too high. Most scholarly estimates are in the region of 1.1. to 1.2 million).To return to the issue of Jasenovac, how much publicity was it given by the postwar Yugoslav government, I wonder.
