Lazar Bačić (Serbian Cyrillic: Лазар Бачић; January 1865 – 12 May 1941) was a Croatian Serb merchant and philanthropist.
Ustashas used his property and industrial facilities to open the Ciglana part of the Jasenovac concentration camp.
After that he was tagged as a suspicious person, especially during the World War I. Bačić was a member of the Privrednik's Patronage at the time of his establishment in 1911 and one of its greatest philanthropists.
[5] Each year, on the Lazarus Saturday, he donated ten thousand Yugoslav dinars to Privrednik.
[2] Croatian filmmaker Jakov Sedlar in his 2016 documentary film Jasenovac – istina accused Bačić for the pre-war murders of Croats in Jasenovac and stated that he and his son Ozren had fled to Serbia where they supported the Milan Nedić's Government.
