Rujan 1943. u Otočcu.
September 1943 in Otočac. The Truth about Hospital and Wounded

Summary/Abstract: If we take into consideration everything written about this hospital/war episode in the dramatic historic events of the Lika region, it could be concluded that (public) history is still waiting for somebody who will identify the massacred wounded and ill people and give an answer to the question why, even after half a century, they have been unknown to us and did they really exist or they were so insignificant in history to be continuously mentioned only in propaganda – emotional phrases in superficial newspapers articles.Occasional publications which contain memorable (or artistic) notes rather than scientific, often do not inspire trust and evidence. Only personal perceptions and the facts which suit the occasion are given.Occasional texts contain intolerance and hatred - history is not science of this. History has to serve general purposes (positive or negative) about the reality lived by some persons, tribes, people and humankind and everything which is proven, witnessed and confirmed. Can the truth, in anyway, finally be known about the massacre of those unknowns in the Otočac Hospital and those 16 murdered citizens, who were killed in retaliation and the (non) human act of five nuns-nurses because they are also a part of Croatian history? At the moment this truth is not public. It is rather secret.
