Background
Danica was the first concentration and extermination camp established in the Independent State of Croatia during World War II. It was established in Koprivnica (located in modern-day Croatia) on 15 or 20 April 1941 in the deserted building of former fertilizer factory "Danica". Mijo BabiÄ participated in preparations for the establishment of Danica concentration camp. The first individual inmates were brought to Danica on 18 April 1941 while first groups arrived at the end of April 1941.
The Jews from Zagreb were transported to Danica and Jadovno early in May 1941. Those transported to Danica were all killed by July 1941, while those transported to Jadovno were all killed by August 1941.
Aleksandar SaviÄ (born Alel Schwarz; 1923 â 1941) was a Croatian communist activist and member of the partisan resistance movement in Croatia, murdered during the Holocaust in the Independent State of Croatia.
SaviÄ was born in Zagreb to a Jewish family, the son of Miroslav SaviÄ and Ina Juhn-Broda.
