RADOJKA VUKOVI\u0106, daughter of GOJKO, born on October 22, 1924*, in Mostar, housewife, the only daughter of the well-known Mostar revolutionaries Gojko and Zlatka Vukovi\u0107<\/a>. Member of the Communist Youth League of Yugoslavia (SKOJ) since 1940. She was in Mostar when the Ustasha forces raided their house during a meeting of the local committee on July 31, 1941. At that time, her mother Zlatka threw the first bomb in the city to provide an escape route for the communists at the meeting. Radojka hid at their neighbor Zorka Kova\u010devi\u0107’s place, who would lose her husband Risto and son Borivoje<\/a> (they were taken to Jadovno where they were, as Serbs, executed) around the same time. Zlatka was shot by the Ustasha a few hours later, and the next day her son and Radojka’s brother, Slobodan<\/a>, was captured and executed. Radojka hid with her grandmother for a while, sewing shirts for the partisans, and later joined the partisan detachment. She served as a nurse in the battalion from the end of 1941 (according to the “Spomenica,” from spring 1942). After the Fifth Enemy Offensive and the breakthrough at Sutjeska, exhausted fighters were ordered to return to Mostar for recovery. By then, Radojka had lost her mother and two older brothers, Mladen and Slobodan, in the National Liberation War (NOB), and she did not know the whereabouts of her youngest brother Rade. She decided not to go to Mostar but towards Prozor with a friend. She was captured by the Germans near Jablanica in June 1943 and handed over to the Ustasha. She was killed in the Jasenovac concentration camp in the same year*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memorial plaque on the family house states 1925 as her year of birth. According to the “Monument of Mostar 1941-1945,” the year of death is 1944.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The family's father, Gojko Vukovi\u0107, a sheet metal worker by profession, was a pre-war communist who led the Mostar organization from the Vukovar Congress of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) in 1920 until his death in 1934. He was a member of the Central Committee of the KPJ and participated in the 6th Congress of the Comintern in 1928. He died on July 6, 1934, in Mostar due to a fall from the roof of a house where he was working as a sheet metal worker.\r\n\r\nAfter Gojko's death, his family - wife Zlatka and children Mladen, Slobodan, Radojka, and Rade - continued to actively participate in the revolutionary movement in Mostar. A party meeting was held in their house on July 31, 1941, during which the Ustasha police raided. Gojko's wife Zlatka (1893-1941) threw a bomb to create an escape opportunity for the participants of the meeting (an event known as the \"first explosion in Mostar\"). Zlatka was arrested and executed on the same day. Son Slobodan managed to escape to the village of Rodo\u010d, but he was arrested on the same day and shot the next day, August 1, together with Jusuf \u010cevro, who became national hero. The other children of Gojko also perished during the war - the eldest son Mladen died in Romanija in 1942; daughter Radojka was captured after the Battle of Sutjeska and later killed in the Jasenovac concentration camp; the youngest son Rade was killed at Ivan-Sedlo during the final battles for liberation.\r\n\r\nAfter the war, the city of Mostar rebuilt the Vukovi\u0107 family's home and turned it into a memorial house with an exhibition about their life and work. A bust of Gojko Vukovi\u0107 once stood in the courtyard but, according to eyewitness testimonies, was thrown into the Neretva River during the 1990s war. A memorial plaque still stands on the wall of the house.","parent":0,"count":5,"filter":"raw"}],"prezime":[{"term_id":453,"name":"V","slug":"v-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":453,"taxonomy":"prezime","description":"","parent":0,"count":35,"filter":"raw"}]},"ptb_featured_image":{"url":"http:\/\/partizansko.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vukovic-Radojka-1.jpg","title":"Vukovi\u0107 Radojka","caption":""},"builder_content":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/13538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/partizan"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/13538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14265,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/13538\/revisions\/14265"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13538"},{"taxonomy":"prezime","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prezime?post=13538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
