History

The memorial ossuary is located at the top of the Mačkov kamen. Its construction was initiated in 1925. The initiative was launched by the Minister of Construction, Milorad Vujičić. Committee members were Ljuba Jovanović (President of the Assembly), Đorđe Vajfert (Governor of the National Bank), and Dr. Arčibald Rajs and most respected citizens of Rađevina and Azbukovica. The memorial ossuary was designed by architect Momir Korunović and creator Šime Franović and was finally built in 1929. Transfer of the bones of fallen soldiers was organized in August 1931, with permission from the Ministry of the Army.[2]

gollark: > Some may argue that the CDC originally claimed that masks were ineffective as a way to retain the already-small supply of masks for healthcare providers and medical officials. Others may argue that the CDC made this claim due to ever-developing research around the virus. I am arguing, however, that the CDC made the claim that masks are ineffective because the CDC’s sole purpose is to provide scientific legitimation of the U.S. as a eugenicist project through medical genocide. As outlined in this essay, the CDC has a history of releasing deadly information and later backtracking on it when the damage has already been done.
gollark: > Choosing to tell the public that supplies that could benefit everyone is ineffective, rather than calling for more supplies to be created—in the midst of a global pandemic, no less—is eugenics. Making the conscious decision to tell the general public that something is ineffective when you have not done all of the necessary research, especially when medical officials are using the very same equipment, is medical and scientific genocide.
