Dijakovac
The totalitarian regime of Communist Yugoslavia in all the worst ways abused the victims of war and the postwar period to achieve a number of its pragmatic political and ideological goals. One case that leaves even the most hardened people breathless is that which occurred in 1944 in Turčević Polje, a small Orthodox village between Virovitica and Daruvar.
In Dijakovac, in front of the school in Virovitica, the bodies of 40 students from the military school from Virovitica, who had been captured by Tito’s Partisans in October 1944, were buried. They were taken to a prison in Turčević Polje, tied with wire, where they were terribly tortured and then publicly shot in front of the Orthodox Church of St. Stevan in Turčević Polje.
Then they ordered the residents of Turčević Polje and Dijakovac to bury them in the schoolyard in Dijakovac, which the residents did. In the period after World War II, a school toilet was built on the site of their mass grave. As is visible on the photo, a wooden cross was placed in the place next to the toilet in the mass grave for the victims of this shameful crime committed by the Partisans. The crime itself was not enough for Tito’s Communists, nor was the fact that they did not bury them decently; in order to hide and desecrate the victims as much as possible, they built a toilet on their bones! Normal people cannot do such a thing, only sick minds of the Partisans infatuated with the Communist ideology could do such a thing.
