Tebi, moja Dolores

Saša Božović

The book, the most widely read in the SFRY in 1980 (seven editions, 70,000 copies), is a memoir diary of a mother's pain and war suffering, dedicated to her lost daughter.

Saša Božović (1912–1995), a Serbian physician, writer and partisan from the famous Magazinović priest-officer family, graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in 1937 in Belgrade. After the bombing of the city in 1941, she fled to Podgorica as a pregnant woman with her husband Borislav, the organizer of the uprising in Montenegro. Because of his activities, the Italians arrest her and send her to a camp in the Albanian town of Kavaja, where she gives birth to a daughter Dolores - named after the Spanish revolutionary "La Pasionaria". Exchanged for captured officers, she joins the partisans, where as a doctor she founds the first village hospitals and heads the ambulances in the Second Proletarian Brigade and Division.

Through authentic records, the book describes the uprising in Montenegro, partisan offensives, heroism of characters like Sava Kovačević and Bud Tomović, and anonymous victims. Episodes about mothers like Milena Milutinović, who lost their sons in battle, highlight the dignity in suffering.

The themes of the book – love, loss, solidarity, resistance to fascism – intertwine with a universal catalogue of human suffering: cold, hunger, wounding and hope for a better tomorrow. Not just a chronicle of ideals, but a profound humanity, nobility and compassion, which transcends ideology. A poignant yet inspiring testimony to the strength of women in war, ideal for understanding the NOB through a personal story.
