The nearby hamlet of Matić Poljane, the site of one of the most painful losses of Croatian Partisans during World War II.  In February 1944, members of the 13th Primorsko-Goranska Division were ordered on a forced overnight march from Drežnice to Mrkopalj, a distance of approximately 30 kilometers.  The march took place in the middle of winter with temperatures well below freezing.  During the march, the Partisans found themselves in the middle of a blizzard.  At least 26 Croats, mostly from Istria and the Gorski kotar, were killed (the actual number was never determined).  The site of their deaths is marked by a series of 26 irregularly shaped stone pillars.  An annual commemoration is held on the site.  The legacy of Matić Poljane has inspired local officials to work to establish a “school of peace” in Mrkopalj.  The author has to date found the following names of those who died on the march:

The recently restored monument was placed there by the Union of Italians for Istria and Rijeka (Unione degli Italiani dell'Istria e di Fiume) on 29 November 1951 at the site where Vladimir Švalba-Vid was killed. Švalba-Vid had been a professor at the Gymnasium at Sušak and a pre-War Communist. The monument consists of a granite obelisk on which is placed a white marble plaque which has inscribed on it, in Croatian and Italian, the following: "On his return from a meeting where on 10 July 1944 the Union of Italians for Istria and Rijeka was established, Vladimir Švalba-Vid fell here, one of the founders of the Italian Union with whose blood he sealed the brotherhood of our peoples." Above the plaque, is another metallic plaque showing two Partisans flanked by what appear to be the Yugoslav and Italian flags.

PODHUM. Located on the main Zagreb-Rijeka highway, approximately 10 kilometers from Rijeka, the village of Podhum lies in the Grobničko polje (Grobnik Fields), below the medieval castle of Grobnik. It had a population of 1,329 prior to the War. It is the site of one of the worst massacres of Croatian civilians by Italian Fascists and the Italian Army during World War II.

As a result of increased Partisan activity around Rijeka, on 12 July 1942 units of the Italian Frontier Guard (GAF), as well as Italian Army, Fascist and Carbineiri units, acting under the orders of Temistocle Testa, the Prefect of Rijeka, entered the village of Podhum. After ordering all the people of the village to remain in their homes, Italian forces went door-to-door, forcing all boys and men over the age of 14 to assemble at a clearing near the village. Major Mario Ramponi, the Vice-Commissar of the Civilian Commisariat for Sušak and Luigi Menaldo, the Carbineiri commander of the nearby town of Jelenje, picked out those boys and men who had relatives who had left to fight with the Partisans. Those chosen were taken to a nearby area and executed. To this date, the exact number of those killed remains unkown, with estimates ranging from 91 to 128. The remaining 889 men, women and children were forcibly removed from the village and were dispersed by Italian authorities to concentration camps throughout Italy where many also died. Testa proudly proclaimed in a telegram sent to Rome the next day that "the entire settlement of Podhum has been leveled to the ground."

The monument in Podhum, which can be seen from the Zagreb-Rijeka highway, is situated on the site of a pit where those executed were thrown. The site is enclosed by a circular wall, approximately two meters high, reminiscent of similar structures placed in fields in this area of Croatia. The inner wall is lined with the individual white blocks bearing the names of those killed. The main monument consists of an uneven pilar or obelisk, the work of Šime Vulas, which overlooks the common grave, designed by Duško Rakić of Zagreb. Igor Emili is responsible for the architectural design of the site. The monument was completed in 1970.

RIJEKA. The main city in Primorsko-Goranska County, Rijeka is one of the largest ports in Croatia. While the city dates from ancient times, it only began to experience growth in the late 18th century when the Habsburgs made it one of their primary ports. The 1867 Ausgliech between the Austrians and Hungarians and the subsequent Hungarian-Croatian Nagodba or Agreement from 1868 placed Rijeka under the direct control of Budapest. The Hungarians poured money into the city, in an attempt to compete with the Austrian-controlled port of Trieste. The expansion of the city led to immigration of numerous Italians and Hungarians (among those born in Rijeka was Janos Kadar, the infamous Hungarian Communist installed as Hungary's leader after the 1956 revolution) changing the ethnic composition of the city.

At the same time, across the Riječina stream, a new town, Sušak, began to develop which fell under the administrative control of the Croatian government in Zagreb. The new town was found at the base of a hill on which was located the medieval settlement of Trsat, one of the signatories to the 1288 Vinodol Law (Vinodolski zakon). Following World War I, the border between Italy and Yugoslavia ran along the Riječina and the so-called Mrtvi kanal (Dead Channel), an estuary of the Adriatic. Sušak subsequently developed into one of the largest ports in Yugoslavia while Rijeka declined in relative importance. At the beginning of World War II, Rijeka had a population of approximately 50,000 and Sušak had a population of around 20,000.

Rijeka proper, in contrast to Sušak, remained in the firm grip of Italian Fascist and later German Nazi authorities during the War, with little popular support for the Partisans. This was primarily due to the large number of ethnic Italians in the city, who had little desire to support a movement which sought to annex Rijeka and the nearby Istrian Peninsula to Croatia.

Rijeka's main World War II monument stands near the site of the former frontier bridge which had divided the now unified city of Rijeka at Tito Square (Titov trg). The monument stands approximately 30 metres high on which is placed a sculpture by local artist Vinko Matković. Across the street from the monument, stands a circular balustrade, a recently installed monument marking the site of Catholic chapel (destroyed during the War), which had been divided by the frontier. The Square also contains a plaque on which is inscribed a portion of a speech given by Tito at the site in 1946 in which he discussed his demands for the reincorporation of Rijeka and other areas into then Yugoslavia.

The author has not been able to come across a list of names of victims killed during the War which covers the entire city.

Rijeka. INA Oil Refinery. Located on a wall on Ulica Anton Barac outside of the INA Oil Refinary, a bi-lingual Croatian-Italian plaque marks the spot where a group of 4 Croat and Italian Communists were ordered by the City Committee of the KPH to assassinate Calaine, a local Fascist. The group went to this spot to wait for Calaine, but upon their arrival they were shot (apparently their mission had been betrayed). In the ensuing gun battle, Calaine was killed and one of his collegues badly wounded. Of the squad of four, two escaped and two ethnic Italians were killed. The plaque lists the names of two ethnic Italians from the squad, Mario Gennari, born in Rijeka in 1917 and a member of the City Committee of the KPH, and Giuseppe Duella, born in Rijeka in 1918 and a member of the KPH.

Rijeka - Kozala. Kozala is the site of Rijeka's main cemetery. It has the rare distinction of being the site of remains of both Axis and Allied forces killed during the War. The modernistic Church of St. Romaldo and the Holy Cross, built during the inter-War period and located next to the cemetary, contains in its base a crypt with remains of Italian soldiers killed during both World Wars. Within the cemetery itself, an unmarked green field marks the burial grounds for German soldiers killed during the War (one monument on the field honors a German chaplain killed in 1945). Next to it stands a section where Partisans killed during the War are buried. The cemetery also contains a separate Jewish graveyard together with a monument to the Holocaust. Most of Rijeka's Jews were killed and its main synagogue destroyed after the German occupation of the city.

Rijeka- Sušak. Bulevar Oslobodjenje. The parish church of St. Cyril and Methodius (Sv. Ćirila i Metoda) contains a white marble plaque at its entrance, dedicated on 27 April 1995, to the memory of Martin Bubanj (born in Križišće in 1898), the first pastor of the parish. Bubanj, along with others, was summarily executed by Partisan forces after they took Sušak in late April 1945 and was thrown into a cave known as Bezdan (Without Light) in the nearby town of Kostrena. The reasons for Bubanj's execution were never discussed; the most likely reason appears to be his support of the Catholic Renewal Movement in the inter-War period when he came into conflict with pro-Communist intellectuals in Sušak.

Rijeka - Sušak - Gajeva. The First Croatian Gymnasium of Sušak in Rijeka (Prva sušačka hrvatska gimnazija u Rijeci) dates its founding to a Jesuit higher school of education established in Rijeka in 1627. After the Hungarian rulers of Rijeka forced the closure of the Croatian language school in 1895, it moved across the Riječina to Sušak where its current buiding was erected in the same year. In the inter-War years, the school was the primary higher educational institution on the territory of the County that found itself within Yugoslavia and had a reputation for being a center of Slavic and Croatian nationalism.
