      Croatian concentration camp commander

born Sept. 8, 1921, Studenci, Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes [now in Bosnia and Herzogovina]

died July 20, 2008, Zagreb, Croatia
was convicted (1999) and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment for crimes against humanity committed during his bloody seven-month term (April–November 1944) as commandant of the Jasenovac concentration camp in Croatia. Sakic was notorious for brutally torturing and murdering inmates, two of whom he reportedly shot and killed for smiling. After World War II he fled to Argentina, where he later gave interviews in which he acknowledged his role at Jasenovac and refused to express remorse, claiming that his actions had been for the good of Croatia and the Nazi movement. The Argentine government extradited him to Croatia in 1998. More than 30 witnesses gave testimony at his six-month trial, and when Sakic was sentenced, he mockingly applauded.
