MUHAMED HAMID VUK, son of DERVI\u0160, born on January 22, 1924, in Mostar, a student at the Gymnasium. He became a member of the League of Communist Youth (SKOJ) in 1940. He participated in a series of actions, such as taking out ammunition and other equipment from the Northern Military Camp in Mostar on April 21, 1942. The action was carried out by Mehmed Trbonja, \u017divko Papo Hen\u0107i, Rifat Frenjo<\/a>, Marting Ragu\u017e, and Alija Muratbegovi\u0107 \u0160ico, with the assistance of Meho and Omer Dina, Mehmed Frenjo, Hilmija Hakalo<\/a>, Pero La\u017eeti\u0107, and Hamid Vuk. He was responsible for receiving groups from the detachment and accommodating them in Mostar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrested by the Ustasha in July 1943. According to former SKOJ member F. Buturovi\u0107, “he was caught in one of the raids near the Gymnasium, labeled as a Gypsy, an enemy of the state, and a political suspect, and was taken to Jasenovac from where he never returned.” Along with Mehmed Omeragi\u0107, he was transferred to the Stara Gradi\u0161ka camp where he was killed in September 1943. According to one source, “the killings were carried out under the supervision of the camp administrators Stjepan Bosak, Jozo Stoj\u010di\u0107, Mirko Runja\u0161, with a special band of Ustasha executioners (\u2026).” Hamid’s father believed that he was killed in February 1944.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the liberation of Mostar, Hamid’s 43-year-old father, Dervi\u0161 Vuk, gave the following statement: “I had a son named Hamid, born in 1924, a student in the seventh grade of the Gymnasium, who worked for the national cause on the home front. However, at the end of August 1943, he was arrested by agents Beri\u0107 \u0160imun, Topi\u0107 Stanko, and Novi Mehmed. The order for the arrest was given by Pancun, and the police chief was Mate Roko. Hamid was in police custody for 39 days, and during that time, I corresponded with them in an agreed manner, and he informed me that Juri\u0161i\u0107 Ante, a railway worker, and Zeki\u0107 Mel\u010da from Mostar incriminated him the most. After that, he was taken to the Gradi\u0161ka camp. I received the last news from him on January 29, 1944. Husnija Bojo from Mostar was in the camp with my Hamid and returned from the camp seven months ago. He informed me that my son Hamid was killed in the camp in early February 1944. I suspect that he was killed by Ustasha officer Ne\u0111a Arapovi\u0107, originally from Mostar. I want to emphasize that I am physically disabled with limited earning capacity, and Hamid took care of me and my mother. Claimant: Dervi\u0161 Vuk.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamid’s name was recorded on the memorial plaque<\/a> at Mostar Gymnasium. The plaque disappeared without a trace during the events of the war from 1992 to 1995. A street in Mostar is named after Hamid Vuk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXCERPT FROM LITERATURE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Vu\u010dina – that’s what he was like in appearance and character, always ready for conflict. Our shield and striking force in frequent clashes with the fascists – Ustashas – in the classroom, corridors, and courtyard of the Gymnasium. A Roma* boy from Pasjak, the son of a war invalid, a shoemaker. I always saw him hammering on a shoe last, whether returning or borrowing a new book from Hamid, the librarian of our underground gymnasium library.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
