Editing Jasenovac concentration camp (section)

==== Women and children ====
Of the 83,145 named victims listed in the Jasenovac Memorial Site, more than half are women (23,474) and children (20,101) below  the age of 14. Most were held at [[Stara Gradiška concentration camp|Stara Gradiška]] camp of the Jasenovac complex, specifically designed for women and children,{{sfn|Jasenovac Memorial Site List of individual victims}} as well as associated camps in [[Jablanac Jasenovački|Jablanac]] and [[Mlaka, Sisak-Moslavina County|Mlaka]], while children were also held in other Ustaše concentration camps for children at [[Sisak children's concentration camp|Sisak]] and [[Jastrebarsko children's camp|Jastrebarsko]]. Many of the children in the camps were among the tens-of-thousands of Serb civilians captured during the German-Ustaše [[Kozara Offensive|Kozara offensive]], after which many of their parents sent to forced labor in Germany, while the children were separated from the parents and placed in Ustaše concentration camps. In addition nearly all the Roma women and children in the NDH were exterminated at Jasenovac, as well as thousands of Jewish women and children, among the up to two-thirds of all Croatian Holocaust victims killed at Jasenovac. The terrible conditions the children were held in were described by one of the female inmates Giordana Friedländer:<blockquote>When I entered the room I had something to see. One child was lying with his head in feces, the other children in urine were lying on top of each other. I approached one of the girls with the intention of lifting her out of the pool of dirt, and she looked at me as if smiling. She was already dead. One 10-year-old boy, completely naked, was standing by the wall because he could not sit down. Out of him hung his gut covered in flies.{{sfn|Goldstein|2018|loc="Tragedija djece s Kozare" chapter}}<ref name=":11">{{Cite web|title=Tragedija djece s Kozare – istina o krvavoj brutalnosti ustaša|url=https://www.autograf.hr/tragedija-djece-s-kozare-istina-o-krvavoj-brutalnosti-ustasa/|access-date=2020-09-13|website=autograf.hr|date=10 December 2018|language=en-US|archive-date=2023-04-07|archive-url=https://archive.today/20230407201804/https://www.autograf.hr/tragedija-djece-s-kozare-istina-o-krvavoj-brutalnosti-ustasa/|url-status=live}}</ref></blockquote>Later the commandant of the camp, Ante Vrban, ordered the room sealed and with a mask on his face inserted [[zyklon gas]] into the room, killing the remaining children.{{sfn|Goldstein|2018|loc="Tragedija djece s Kozare" chapter}}<ref name=":11" /> At his trial the commandant of Ante Vrban, admitted to these killings.{{sfn|Dulić|2005|p=272}}
