The Yugoslav teenage partisan publicly hanged by the Nazis - Execution of Lepa Radić

Lepa Radić was born on the 19th of December 1925 in the village of Gašnica, today’s Bosnia-Herzegovina, then part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. She grew up in a Bosnian Serb family with strong communist roots. As a student, Lepa emphasized hard work and seriousness, and was also interested in reading advanced literature. She developed her core positions under the strong influence of her uncle Vladeta Radić, who was involved in the labor movement.

The conflict between Serbia and Austria-Hungary over Bosnia-Herzegovina provided the spark that triggered World War I. With the dissolution of the Habsburg Empire at the end of World War I in 1918, the Serb army occupied most of what became Yugoslavia. Fearing Hungarian and Italian territorial ambitions, Croat, Slovene, and Bosniak leaders agreed to the establishment of a South Slav Union under the rule of the Serb monarch, King Alexander Karadjordjevic, without having developed a supra-ethnic consensus as to how the union would work.
