With the Partisans fast approaching, on April 21, 1945, the Ustaše killed the remaining 700–900 women at Jasenovac.{{sfn|Goldstein|2018|pp=608}}<ref name="ferata">{{Cite web|url=https://www.ferata.hr/danas-se-navrsava-70-godisnjica-proboja-logorasa-iz-jasenovca/|title=Danas se navršava 70. godišnjica proboja logoraša iz Jasenovca – Ferrata|language=hr|access-date=2020-03-07|archive-date=2018-10-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181030013858/http://www.ferata.hr/danas-se-navrsava-70-godisnjica-proboja-logorasa-iz-jasenovca/|url-status=live}}</ref> After that only an estimated 1,073 male prisoners remained, and on the night of April 21–22 they decided to stage an escape.<ref name="ferata" /> On 22 April, 600 prisoners revolted; but of these only 92 managed to escape, while all the rest were killed. On the day of the revolt the Ustaše killed the 460 remaining prisoners who chose not to escape{{Sfn|Goldstein|2018|pp=611}} and later torched the buildings, guardhouses, torture rooms, the "Piccili Furnace", plus all the other structures in the camp. Upon entering the camp in May, the Partisans came across only ruins, soot, smoke, and the skeletal remains of hundreds of victims.

After the war, German, NDH, Slovene and Chetnik POWs were brought to the ruined camp to extract building materials, including from the {{Convert|2|km|4=-long|adj=mid|spell=in}}, {{Convert|4|m|4=-high|adj=mid|spell=in}} brick wall that surrounded it. The authorities donated the extracted bricks and other building materials to the local populace, for rebuilding homes and settlements.{{sfn|Goldstein|Goldstein|2016a|p=73}}
