The commander of the camp was SS-Untersturmführer Herbert Andorfer, accused of participating in the murder of 7,500 Jews, mostly women, up to May 1942. As the direct organizer of liquidations, every day except Sunday, Andorfer accompanied the mobile gas chamber from Sajmište to the killing field of Jajinci, after first telling the mothers that they would be traveling to Romania or Poland, where better days awaited them. He printed leaflets about considerably easier conditions in those fictitious destinations for Jews, and then oversaw the burial of children and their mothers in the Jajinci pits.
The Nazi criminal Andorfer, commander of the Sajmište camp, comes before Austrian court in 1967 charged with participating in the murder of Jews in the Sajmište camp. He defends himself by affirming that he sympathized with the victims, that the murderers gave orders sitting at their desks, that he did not construct the mobile gas chamber, nor did he himself turn on the gas that killed 7,500 people. He was sentenced to two and a half years in prison; he died in 2008 in Austria. His deputy, Edgard Enge, was brought to court in Stuttgart in June 1968, twenty-three years after the end of the Second World War. In spite of all the evidence presented, including the statements of witnesses to his crimes, Edgard Enge was declared innocent.
In June 1945 the mass grave at Zasavica is opened. The mortal remains of the Šabac Jewish refugees, murdered on October 12 and 13, 1941, are taken from Zasavica to the Šabac Jewish Cemetery, and in 1959 to the Sephardic Cemetery in Belgrade.
