On this day, 17 March 1942, Yugoslav communist and anti-fascist militant Nada Dimić was executed in the Stara Gradiška concentration camp. Born of Serbian parents, she was a member of the first Yugoslav partisan unit in Croatia, and participated in sabotage raids on railroads. She was arrested by pro-Nazi Ustasha agents in 1941 and brutally tortured, but admitted nothing and soon escaped.
On 3 December 1941, Dimić was confronted by Ustasha police while trying to help people escape fascists into partisan areas. When asked to identify herself, Dimić grabbed a revolver from her handbag and shot one of the officers. She was then arrested, imprisoned, tortured again and executed by firing squad.
In 1951 she was declared a national hero of Yugoslavia.
