RADE VUKOVI\u0106, son of GOJKO, born in 1926* in Mostar, the youngest son of the well-known Mostar revolutionaries Gojko and Zlatka Vukovi\u0107<\/a>. His father Gojko died from fall from the roof of a house he was repairing in 1934. His mother Zlatka and brother Slobodan<\/a> were killed by the Ustasha in Mostar in early August 1941, and in August 1942, his eldest brother Mladen<\/a> was killed on Romanija. His sister Radojka<\/a> was captured by the Ustasha as a partisan and sent to Jasenovac, where she was killed in 1943. Rade marched into liberated Mostar on February 14, 1945, and returned to the empty family home in Donja Mahala. Although the division headquarters demanded that he, as the sole surviving member of the family, withdraw from combat units and remain in Mostar, Rade did not accept and continued to participate in liberation operations through the Neretva Valley, towards Konjic and Ivan Mountain. A bomber and, from December 13, 1944, an assistant commissioner of the Youth Squad, consisting of about 70 young fighters. He was killed at Ivan-sedlo near Konjic in March 1945 when he carelessly handled a bomb (according to another source, “awkwardly disassembling a grenade launcher”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1984, the memorial house of Gojko Vukovi\u0107 was opened within the Museum of Herzegovina with a museum exhibition about the life and work of the Vukovi\u0107 family. The ensemble “Mostarske ki\u0161e” dedicated the song “Zlatka Vukovi\u0107” to the Vukovi\u0107 family (lyrics: Mi\u0161o Mari\u0107, music: Josip Sli\u0161ko). The children’s home in Mostar was named after Rade Vukovi\u0107 from 1962 to 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

“Commander of the 2nd platoon Danilo Vukoje and the platoon’s political delegate Rade Vukovi\u0107, who a day earlier in the battle against the Chetniks, were surrounded with their fighters on an exposed rocky hill in the village of Dubo\u010dani. They did not retreat as ordered because they believed that the natural cover allowed them to resist an enemy ten times stronger. The fierce thunder and smoke from the elevated rock formation around which the battle was raging caught the attention of the retreating fighters, and the other two Chetnik platoons, along with members of the battalion staff, halted and dispersed the Chetniks who had surrounded the 2nd platoon. ‘Collectively, we decided: no retreat!’ replied the platoon delegate Rade Vukovi\u0107 to the squad’s commissioner An\u0111elko Belovi\u0107 when the commissioner rushed to the top of the hill, where several dead Chetniks lay. That’s what Mostar’s SKOJ member Rade, the only surviving member of Gojko Vukovi\u0107’s family, said\u2026”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\/Rade-Vukovic.png","title":"Rade Vukovic","caption":""},"builder_content":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/13539","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":3,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/13539\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24446,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/13539\/revisions\/24446"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13539"},{"taxonomy":"prezime","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prezime?post=13539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
