On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the suffering of Zrin, a monograph entitled ”Zrin – in memory of the victims of genocide” by Damir Borovčak, a patriotic activist, political analyst, organizer, travel writer, publicist and historical researcher, was presented to the public. This large-format, high-quality work on almost 400 pages aims to tear the horrific Partisan crimes against the innocent population of ancient Zrin from oblivion. This book was published on the occasion of the 80th anniversary. On the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, on September 9 and 10, 1943, the Partisans and Chetniks killed almost a third of the inhabitants in a genocidal campaign, burned the parish church of the Finding of the Holy Cross, as well as the entire village. All survivors were displaced by the communist authorities, confiscated their property and prohibited from returning to Zrin. In addition to historical facts and numerous documents and photographs, the book also brings invaluable written testimonies, confessions of the survivors of Zrin and the actors of those terrible events.

The second Croatian edition contains previously unpublished transcribed interviews about the killings on the Bleiburg Field and British aerial photographs of the multitude of refugees in Austria around the town of Bleiburg and other refugees near the town of Klagenfurt on the Viktring Field, which are still little known in Croatia. The comprehensively structured university study based on contemporary primary sources focuses on two important questions. First, did the so-called “final battle of encirclement” take place in Carinthia in the areas of Ferlach/Hollenburg/Viktring and Dravograd/Poljana/Bleiburg, resulting in military victories for the Yugoslav Partisan Army (JA), or had the Partisans already committed murders on Austrian territory? Were the post-war battles the battles of refugee groups with the aim of reaching the British, or were these battles the great finale of the JA?
