THE SUFFERING OF SISTER ŽARKA IVASIĆ, SISTER OF CHARITY
VERONIKA MILA POPIĆ
Sažetak
The article analyses the surroundings of the suffering of Sister Žarka Ivasić, a member of the Society of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul – Zagreb, in the context of Communist repression towards the Catholic Church during the initial post-war years (1945-
1946). Highlighted is the difficulty of an objective reconstruction of the events which led to the staged process and the death of Sister Žarka Ivasić, and refers to the Ustasha attack on Otočac and the Otočac hospital 13th-14th September 1943 with regards to the one-sided available sources and literature (of Communist origin) and information obtained about the event in testimonies of witnesses of her conviction and death, who also suffered the repression of the authorities. The
charges and death of Sister Žarka Ivasić notably served her monastic (Catholic), as well as nursing calling. In the article also wishing to be shown is that the growth and shaping of her "guilt" towards the needs of the Communist authorities in any given moment is visible, in the
documentation from various years, which is one of the important indicators of the manipulation of the entire process as well as the innocence of Sister Žarka Ivasić.
