After years of research, searching, recording and collecting data, Don Anto Baković wrote and gave our public a book in which he himself, as an eyewitness, described the martyrdom of five Catholic nuns in December 1941, in Goražde. This book is a credible account of the event. In addition to the book of the aforementioned individuals, from whom he collected testimonies and thus managed to follow our Drina martyrs step by step from Pale to Goražde, he also collected important details of that martyrdom from individuals whose names, at their request, he had to keep secret for the time being. And then there is his personal testimony!

In his youth, Don Anto Baković was accused four times and sentenced to a total of ten years and three months in prison. He served time in the divisional prison in Leskovac, the Military Investigation Prison in Niš, the Niš KPD, the Zenica KPD, the Sarajevo Central Prison, the Travnik District Prison and the Foča KPD. Completely innocent, he spent his entire youth in Tito’s prisons. He was sent to prison for the first time for defending Stepinac, and imprisoned the second, third and fourth times for his priestly activities, work with children and youth and mentioning the name Croat! He notes that he did not do or say anything against the then state or Tito! He did not engage in any politics, and he spent the best years of his youth in Tito’s prisons.

The book describes the priestly journey of Don Ante Baković from his first parish of Koraća in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the roof of Bosnia, i.e. at 1300 meters above sea level, to his early retirement to save him from further severe persecution and imprisonment by Tito’s criminal communist regime.
