The Ustaše, officially the Ustaša – Croatian Revolutionary Movement, was a Croatian ultranationalist, fascist, and Nazi collaborationist organisation which ruled Croatia between 1941 and 1945 with the support of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Roman Catholic clergy. The Ustaše was primarily responsible for the Holocaust in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, with Croatia under its rule being the only Nazi collaborationist country to operate its own concentration camps (including the infamous Jasenovac death camp, where an estimated 750,000 Serbs, 45,000 Jews, and at least 26,000 Roma were murdered). After the war, many of the Ustaše fled to Italy and Austria, bringing millions of stolen dollars with them. Their leaders, Ante Pavelić and Andrija Artuković, escaped to Argentina and the United States, respectively. After the war, however, Artuković was extradited to Yugoslavia in 1986 and died in prison in 1988.
