Tenje ghetto
The Tenje Ghetto or Ghetto Tenja , also Tenja Ghetto , was built for Jews during World War II and was the only known ghetto on the territory of the fascist Independent State of Croatia (NDH). The term ghetto does not have the meaning of a medieval Jewish ghetto . In the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust , the name is Tenje concentration camp .
It was built in March 1942 in the village of Tenja near Osijek and was disbanded in August of the same year. Mainly Jews from Osijek and the surrounding towns and villages were deported here . After all, it served mainly as a collection camp for the deportations to the Jasenovac concentration camp of the Ustascha or to the Auschwitz concentration camp and, as such, is part of the organized mass extermination , the so-called “ final solution to the Jewish question ”.
