After the disintegration of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the new state of the Southern Slavs was created - the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. The new State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs very quickly united with the Kingdom of Serbia into a single Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Wanting to erase every form of nationalism, King Alexander changed its name to The Kingdom of Yugoslavia and banned the function of all the political parties. As a reaction to that, Ante Pavelić established the Ustasha Revolutionary Organization, which aimed to destroy The Kingdom of Yugoslavia and to establish the independent Croatia. With the help of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, in April 1941 the Independent State of Croatia was proclaimed, and its leader became Chief Ante Pavelić. The Jewish community in The Kingdom of Yugoslavia did not experience any form Antisemitism, as the Kingdom sought to create society of tolerance among different religious communities. However, during the existence of the Independent State of Croatia, the Jewish community found itself on the margins of society and the attitude towards them was regulated by racial laws introduced following the example of Nazi laws. The Ustashas confiscated the property of the Jews and placed them in established camps on the territory of the Independent State of Croatia. The majority of the citizens of the Independent State of Croatia did not support the Ustasha attitude towards Jews. Many individuals helped their fellow citizens flee to safer areas. The most prominent opponent of the Ustasha attitude towards Jews is the Archbishop of Zagreb Alojzije Stepinac.
