FIGHT FASCISM WITH FACTS
BAKOVIC SISTERS FOR ETERNITY ⭐️
'In her two-hour tour, Matijevic takes domestic and foreign tourists to places in Zagreb that were important for Tito’s Partisan movement, which fought against the forces of the Independent State of Croatia, NDH, a puppet state established in 1941 by the fascist Ustasa movement with the support of N**i Germany and fascist Italy.
The stops on the walking tour include places associated with Ustasa terror, where anti-fascists were imprisoned, or where Partisan fighters carried out surprise attacks on Ustasa troops.
One of the sites is in front of the busts of the anti-fascist Bakovic sisters in the city centre. Rajka Bakovic, 21, and Zdenka Bakovic, 24, were tortured and killed by the Ustasa in 1941.
Matijevic said she believes that their fate was “tragic but heroic” because, despite all the torture they suffered, they never informed on any of their comrades. “They were so young, and to this day, we cannot even imagine how courageous that was,” she said.'
