GOSPIC, April 4 (Hina) - On the occasion of Gospic Victims' Day, in
tribute to several hundred local residents who were killed on 4
April in 1945 when the partisans entered that central Croatian
town, flowers were laid down on the joint mass grave on Friday. #L#
A prayer for those victims was said by a priest, Msgr. Vlado Pezelj,
who managed to survive that slaughter committed by the partisans.
He said that tragic event had for long time be covered up in order to
conceal traces which directly accused the then Communist
authorities. He added that a memorial plaque should be put on the
site of that mass grave.
