Summary
Milorad D. Beli}
Immediately upon entering the Valjevo, on 15th September 1944, partisans have
begun their internal fight with members and supporters of the defeated forces. All
who were tagged, even by simple point of the finger by some of the locals, were affected
by this - "kulaci (rich peasants)", "Germans' mistresses", "agents", "domestic
traitors"….
According to the researches made so far in the Archives of Serbia and in Military
archives and memories of victims` relatives, most massive executions were carried
out by the end of 1944. In Valjevo municipality, the number of victims executed
reached 600, but that number is not final, and additional research is necessary. Despite
the fact that documentation from Department for People protection is somewhat
available to the researches, still many people are considered "missing", and of
their destiny we find out from their families or some stories from elder members of
town`s community. The most of the victims were executed according to "short trial",
being that many of them had no actual trial, which can be determined by checking
court records in the Military archives. For some of the victims, documents state only
name and some vague details. This article deals with people who were arrested by
Department for People protection and evidenced as "enemies of the people". Some
reached the court, while some managed to emigrate.
The state has recently begun extensive work on determining the number of victims
and the discovery of secret locations of execution. Disclosure of all data regarding
this issue, especially for the Valjevo region, will make the pages of our natinal
history more complete.
