EMINA MINA HA\u0106AM, daughter of HASAN, born in 1918 in Bratunac, a homemaker. She lived with her family in Mostar from 1937. A member of the League of Communist Youth (SKOJ) since 1941. As an illegal activist, she collected medical supplies and participated in a series of actions. Along with Ahmed Sefi\u0107, during the collapse of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, she smuggled weapons out of the fortress in the western camp, a chest full of bombs, and buried it in a shed in the yard on Promenade where the Ha\u0107am family lived. Later, they would transfer it to various bases. She was arrested with a group of girls during the first arrest of the female youth in Mostar when the Usta\u0161e caught them in a meeting in Bare, precisely on the day of Germany’s attack on the USSR. They were held in prison for two months, beaten, but none of the girls admitted anything. They managed to escape from prison with the help of Marijan Paveli\u0107, a communist who worked in the city police. From the beginning of 1942, she was in the Battalion, working as a nurse and teacher in the places where the Battalion stayed. When courier Mevzeta Kreso was delivering messages and mail to the fighters near Konjic, Mina Ha\u0107am gave her an apple for her mother with letters pricked by a needle, forming the message: “Dear Mom, don’t worry about me, I am fine\u2026”. Captured with a group of fighters by the Chetniks during the Chetnik coup, but they managed to free themselves as the Usta\u0161e started shooting in the meantime. Fighter Bera Arpad\u017ei\u0107 recalled, “Once, planes flew over Glavati\u010devo and bombed us. One comrade was hit by shrapnel: Mina, like a tigress, jumped to him and, despite the greatest danger to her own life, bandaged him under the bombs\u2026”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She died at Sutjeska during the Fifth Offensive in 1943 while trying to help \u0160efik Obad<\/a>: “At one moment, she jumped to bandage \u0160efik Obad’s wound. Comrades shouted to her, ‘Mina, you will die!’ That’s when she fell. Next to the hero Obad (…).” <\/em>Her grave remained unmarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mina Ha\u0107am is remembered as “a brave girl, an exceptionally dedicated illegal worker, and a courageous fighter of the Mostar Battalion.” Her two brothers, national hero Mithad Ha\u0107am<\/a> and Ned\u017ead Ha\u0107am<\/a>, also perished in the National Liberation War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As remembered by Angelina Dragani\u0107 (Lambi\u0107): <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the beginning of the winter of 1942, our friend Mina Ha\u0107am from Mostar arrived in our battalion. I remember her arrival as if it happened yesterday. She arrived as a true girl from Mostar and brought with her a lot of wonderful clothes. One couldn’t tell what was more beautiful and precious, and she shared everything in just two days. I was just the shepherdess, and the kind of beautiful clothes she gave me I saw for the first time. Mina seemed gentle, but that first impression was deceiving. She was brave and resilient beyond comprehension. She was ready to jump in and help at any moment, and take on other people’s work. She went with the Battalion all the way to the Sutjeska (the Fifth offensive), where she stayed forever, while protecting the wounded. Witnesses say that she died bravely.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EMINA MINA HA\u0106AM, daughter of HASAN, born in 1918 in Bratunac, a homemaker.

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.
