Summary/Abstract: Before the physical destruction of the Jews from Bosnia and Herzegovina, several different laws and regulations, based on antisemitism were adopted. Most of them were adopted in the period of only five months. Their names and sequence show the means of „resolving the Jewish Issue“ on the territory of the Independent State of Croatia that encompassed Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Holocaust of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian Jews was conducted following the general pattern of the Nazi ideology. The representatives of the Nazy ideology left the „resolution of the Jewish issue“ and the commitment of crimes to the Ustasha regime. Therefore, this paper will be oriented towards two basic considerations – the emergence of antisemitism on our territory, as an important factor in the commitment of the crimes, and the development of the legal framework of the Nazi regime, and its implementation and further development in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
