Mama Mutti
The novel connects the 1940s and 1990s in time, takes place in Osijek's Lower Town, and the core of the novel is the story of the death of two innocent girls who were thrown alive into a mass grave.
Elizabeta, their mother, survived the horrors of the camp, remarried after the war and had two children who also experienced the war and the suffering of innocents in the same place - in Osijek. Elizabeta, Mama Mutti, is the mother of Verica Sikora. "Mama Mutti" tells the story of the pain of a German mother whose girls, like little angels, were victims of a crazy time of revenge, but who touched the hearts of those who lived in the darkness of revenge and moved them to search for the man within themselves. This novel, apart from being about Mama Mutti's unconditional love and pain, is also about the message that every mother feels the same way when it comes to her children. Verica Sikora says in the introduction that she could have described this pain equally strongly in the suffering of Serbian, Jewish, Muslim children or the most recent pain of mothers in Africa, bloody Somalia. She decided to write a "novel of her life" to speak out about the terrible tragedy that befell the German people after World War II, and that many women and children, including the girls Mari and Efi, were killed due to collective guilt and without conviction. Regardless of the dramatic descriptions of the suffering of these girls and Mama Mutti, the book is permeated with the most tender love that was born in the hell of suffering.
