Iz ilegalnog Zagreba 1941.

Ivan Šibl

Memoirs of Ivan Šibl about the anti-fascist resistance in occupied Zagreb during the Second World War. The book, written in the style of a diary, provides an intimate insight into the fear, conspiracy and solidarity of revolutionaries.

Šibl, a young communist from Virovitica, describes two cities: the occupying Zagreb under the Ustashas and Nazis, and the “liberation” – a network of illegals fighting for freedom.

The narrative begins with Šibl’s arrival in Zagreb in 1941, where he meets Rade Končar and forms a youth activist. Key episodes include the liquidation of informant Ivan Majerhold on September 7, the sabotage at the Main Post Office on September 14, and the attack on German aviators on September 30. Šibl participates in the organization, hiding in apartments (e.g. at the Steiners’ in Domobranska Street) and in the villages of Samobor district, where they collaborate with peasants like Pavle Videković. Constant danger: arrests, torture, shootings (like Nikola or Lata). He reflects on morality, death, and suicide as a last resort.

After months of illegal work, Šibl and his comrades (Laza, Moša) flee to the partisans: a dangerous road through the snow, ambushes, wounding of Moša. It culminates in his arrival in Bania in 1942, where he joins a squad with basic weapons, hoping for victory.
