Kruščica concentration camp
The concentration camp Kruščica ( Serbo-Croatian Logor Kruščica / Логор Крушчица) was a concentration camp in the then fascist Independent State of Croatia (NDH). The camp founded in April / May 1941 was located in Kruščica south of Vitez in central Bosnia . The internees were mainly Serbs and Jews , mostly women and children, because male prisoners were killed quickly. The Bosnian Muslim SS division "Handschar" played a large part in the ethnic cleansing and the deportation of Serbs. The Arab nationalist Mohammed Amin al-Husseini , who dealt with the organization and training of these Waffen SS divisions, had the task of deporting Serbs and Roma , as well as the Jews, to the Auschwitz concentration camp on direct orders from Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler to send.
