NIJAZ BAJAT, son of ADEM, born on July 20, 1923, in Mostar, a student of the Teacher Training School, played in the youth team of FC “Vele\u017e”. A member of the SKOJ (League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia) since 1941, he was active in school, the neighborhood, and the Scout Unit, and participated in demonstrations. In January 1942, he joined the Battalion as a fighter and was killed by Chetniks in Bijelo Polje near Mostar in May 1942.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About Nijaz’s death, his comrade E. \u0106emalovi\u0107 recorded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“At the beginning of May, due to a violation within the unit, Gojko Dabi\u0107, a fighter from the Zijemaljska unit from Bijelo Polje, was punished to carry out sabotage on the Mostar – Jablanica railway. So that Gojko wouldn’t go alone, Nijaz Bajat, a student from Mostar, voluntarily offered to go with him and assist him in completing the task. When the two of them reached the village of \u017delju\u0161a, Dabi\u0107 stopped at Mirko Mavrak’s place, after which all three of them proceeded towards the railway. Upon reaching the Neretva River, Dabi\u0107 and Mavrak cowardly killed Nijaz and threw him into the water. After the liberation, both criminals were sentenced to long prison terms.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the NOB (National Liberation War), Nijaz’s sister Nijaza Bajat<\/a> also died. After 1945, a street in Mostar was named Bajatova in their honor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NIJAZ BAJAT, son of ADEM, born on July 20, 1923, in Mostar, a student of the Teacher Training School, played in the youth team of FC “Vele\u017e”.

Until the formation of the 13th Herzegovina Brigade in May 1944, 827 fighters passed through the Battalion, and 445 of them perished, including 211 from Mostar. Of the 86 women, 43 were killed. Mostar residents also fought in many other units of the NOVJ (People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia) and among the ranks of the activists of the National Liberation War in Mostar and other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina... According to the records of the organization SUBNOR Mostar, every third citizen was an activist of the National Liberation War, 670 fighters were killed, 1517 were victims of fascist terror, and 206 were civilian war victims.

Those of us who were 17, 18 years old, some seemed old even though they were not older than 25. The ones over 30 were rare. There were girls and boys with different characteristics and temperaments, robust and calm, talkative and silent, recklessly brave and rational, ordinary and above-average, semi-literate and university-educated, workers and highly skilled craftsmen, high school students and university students, skilled singers and those who couldn't carry a tune, jokers and serious-minded individuals. From all our nations and religions: Muslims, Croats, Serbs, Jews, Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, atheists, and semi-atheists. Some were from straight from Mostar and others from the surrounding locations, from Konjic and outside Konjic.\" (Hercegovina Magazine No. 7, p. 238)\r\n\r\nGroups of new fighters arrived from Mostar every 10-15 days, and the Unit quickly grew into a solid military force. The guides for the groups from Mostar were Mehmed Arap, Vasa Maslo, Serif Buri\u0107, Husa Orman, Vojo Ivani\u0161evi\u0107, and Pero Krajina, who were among the bravest and most resourceful fighters. The groups regularly brought not only weapons but also medical supplies, sugar for the hospital, writing materials, large quantities of paper, books taken from the National Library (which formed the library at Borci), and other supplies for the needs of the Unit.
