Golubinka, a pit between Surmanci and Medjugorje

This is the pit where Ustase have thrown around 500 women and children from the Serbian village of Prebilovci in Capljina municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Most of them was, according to those who survived, thrown while they were still alive. Soon after the WWII, the entrance into the pit was concreted and a obelisk shape monument was erected. Thus, the Communist authorities have banned talking and investigating the massacre. It was only in 1990 that the relatives of killed managed to escavate the remains and bury them according to Serbian Orthodox tradition. Nevertheless, in military operation of Croatian army, HVO and HOS where Prebilovci and other Serbian villages in the area were demolished, looted and burned to teh ground, the tomb was mined as well and the remains turned into the dust. Out of more than 120 boxes full of bones, when digging up at the location of the tomb, only 3 boxes were collected.
