On this day, 6 September 1923, communist partisan hero Nada Dimić was born in the small village of Divoselo, in modern day Croatia. She was the only Croatian-Serb member of the country’s first anti-fascist unit in Sisak. She undertook raids and sabotage on railroads, and was arrested and tortured by the Ustaše (Croatian fascists). In prison she attempted suicide, but it was unsuccessful, however comrades then helped her escape, upon which she rejoined the struggle. Eventually she was re-arrested by Italian troops who handed over to the Ustaše who again tortured her but again she refused to reveal any information, and she was executed some months later.
