	Miroslav Filipović - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Miroslav Filipović (1915 - 1946) was a former Franciscan friar from Bosnia and Herzegovina who commanded the Jasenovac concentration camp in Yugoslavia during World War II.
		As a Croatian extreme nationalist and a fascist, Miroslav Filipović/Majstorović (as he would become known) combined his religion with his extremist political ideology.
		He was born Miroslav Filipović, and became part of the Franciscan order in 1938 at the monastery in Petrićevac (near Banja Luka), when he took on the name Tomislav as his religious name.
