Sažetak
The founding of the Independent State of Croatia in April 1941 gave rise to genocide and racist policy of Ustasha regime towards the Serbs, the Jews and the Romani. Followed by the ideological justification of the prosecution, the Ustasha regime wanted to gain the real-estate and other valuable property owned by the Jews and the Serbs. With the excuse that such policy aimed to strengthen the Croatian economy, great plunder was carried out, and the Ustasha leaders and their individual followers gained enormous wealth over night. Commissioners were appointed for shops and companies owned by the Jews and Serbs, while the Slovenes or poor local farmers were settled on Serbian farms. The productivity of the farms and companies was considerably reduced because the new managers did not have the appropriate know-how for managing the appointed subjects, thus causing substantial damage to the economy. Ustasha government had an insane plan for treating Jewish and Serbian religious objects, which included the demolition of a part of their cultural and religious monuments. Luckily, this plan was not realized in the end.
