SALIH D\u017dEMAL FEJl\u0106, son of MUHAMED, born in 1912* in Mostar, a merchant. Member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ), a veteran fighter, and in the Battalion since the beginning of 1942, serving as the squad’s economic officer. He survived the Fifth Offensive at Sutjeska and returned to Mostar for recovery along with 80 other fighters. Afterward, he resumed his participation in the fight. As a fighter, he served in the 17th Krajina Brigade as an intendant from May 1944. He died in Ostro\u0161ac near Jablanica in October 1944.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u017eemal is the son of Muhamed and Adila Feji\u0107, one of the five deceased members of this family (his brothers and sister also perished: E\u0161ref<\/a>, \u0160efko<\/a>, Esad<\/a>, Samija<\/a>). Two of D\u017eemal’s uncles were killed by Germans (one of them was Dr. Asim Opija\u010d<\/a>). When Adila Feji\u0107 heard the news of her son’s death, according to some records, she “received the news calmly. That’s how she was. She said, ‘If I start crying, people will run away from me…'” One of the most famous streets in Mostar bears the name of the Feji\u0107 brothers. The well-known song “Mostarska mati” by Mostarske ki\u0161e is dedicated to D\u017eemal’s mother, Adila Feji\u0107. You can read about the conversation that Mi\u0161o Mari\u0107 published with his mother Adila in 1972 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *According to the “Spomenica Mostara 1941-1945,” D\u017eemal was born on December 1, 1913.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SALIH D\u017dEMAL FEJl\u0106, son of MUHAMED, born in 1912* in Mostar, a merchant.

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.
