80th Anniversary of the Self-Liberation of the Jasenovac Death Camp

April 22, 2025

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the self-liberation of the Jasenovac death camp—a day of remembrance for the hundreds of thousands of victims of genocide in southeastern Europe.

“We mark this day to commemorate hundreds of thousands who were murdered... and we must remind the world of the importance of this day, because these were the greatest crimes ever committed in southeastern Europe. Unless these crimes are fully recognized, there can never be reconciliation or peace.” – Barry Lituchy, Founder & CEO, Jasenovac Research Institute
