SMAIL* JUGO, son of AHMET, born on March 15, 1919, in Mostar, carpenter. He worked as a projectionist at the Uranijum cinema and became a member of the Communist Youth League (SKOJ) in 1940. He joined the Battalion at the beginning of 1942 and was a fighter. He survived the Fifth Offensive (Battle of Sutjeska) and, along with 80 other fighters, returned to Mostar for recovery, changing accommodations in different neighborhoods of Mostar several times. He was arrested in a raid by the Germans due to the betrayal of a comrade and was executed at Ovojci in July 1943.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mensur Seferovi\u0107 described the raid and arrest in one of his novels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“That morning, behind the barbed wire, not far from the tobacco factory, over a thousand and a half men gathered. Heavy machine guns were guarded around by trucks.<\/em> In the middle of the wide circle stood a senior officer, next to him an agent and… Huskovi\u0107.<\/em> Frightened, almost bewildered, Huskovi\u0107 walked step by step in front of the prisoners, looking at each one in the line and, without a word, pointing his finger at his victims. The prisoner towards whom his hand would stretch came out in the middle of the circle, and soon after the first traitorous journey of Huskovi\u0107, there were about thirty prisoners, among whom were people who had sheltered and fed Huskovi\u0107 himself.<\/em> He also brought out Smajo Jugo and Meho Pala<\/a>, comrades with whom he fought in the fifth offensive, and Avdija Pavlovi\u0107<\/a>, with whom many underground fighters always found a safe<\/em> shelter, from where many patriots went to the unit. (…) Thirty of Huskovi\u0107’s victims were not enough for the Germans. And the escort started again, circling around. Huskovi\u0107 now more frequently pulled citizens out of the line, still walking completely lost. In the middle of the circle<\/em> there were already eighty people (…)”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n *In the book “Spomenica Mostara 1941-1945,” his name is recorded as Smail, which, according to the family, is incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smajo’s brother Hamo (Muhamed) Jugo also participated in the National Liberation War. The youngest brother Ismet spent the war in an orphanage in Sarajevo, where he was placed through connections in the waqf orphanage, considering that both of his brothers were participants in the National Liberation War and his parents had already passed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a brief reflection, Mensur Seferovi\u0107 mentioned that Jusuf Jerkovi\u0107 and Smajo Jugo “sang sevdalinkas and Jusuf’s favorite song ‘Na maj\u010dinom grobu’**.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n ** Perhaps it is this song<\/a> (performed by Bora Spu\u017ei\u0107 Kvaka).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SMAIL* JUGO, son of AHMET, born on March 15, 1919, in Mostar, carpenter.

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. D\u017eemil \u0160arac, article \"Sa Mostarcima\" (\"With the People from Mostar\"), Hercegovina No. 9, p. 221.\r\n\r\n\"And we were all young. 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.
