Old man Pavle Babac, whom we mentioned before and who studied the tragedy under Velebit, gives us a couple of very shocking pages regarding the destruction his fellow villagers from the Tribanj Šibuljine area. Late Babac collected all testimonies in a book named “Slopes of Velebit, 1941 – 1945”, published in Belgrade in 1965. Here we will use parts of his book in order to inform the reader about the misfortune of poor inhabitants of these villages who were mostly taken and executed in Slana. I knew uncle Pavle as a responsible man weighing every word, and in this book I can see how he checked each sentence for hundreds

V 1941. godine). Te odredbe je propisao poglavnik NDH Ante Pavelić po nemačkom nacističkom uzoru. Mržnju protiv Srba, Jevreja i Cigana uporno je širila ustaška propaganda preko dnevne štampe, radija i na skupovima. Oni su okrivljivani za sva postojeća zla i označavani kao niže rase i „nepoćudni elementi“. Srbi su još nazivani četnicima, a srpska pravoslavna vera grčko-istočnom ili šizmatičkom. Ustaška štampa

Njegovi su akvareli puni evokacija života koji su ovdje
