Abstract
Author based this article on oral testimonies collected in the area of Bilogora between Bjelovar and Grubišno Polje and on published literature. In the article, the author provides information on the customs of childbirth, weddings, deaths, religious customs, and then deals with the elements that influenced assimilation in socialism (anti-fascist struggle and its memory, Yugoslavism, atheism of Serbs, etc.). He especially deals with memories of the past, the Homeland War (1991 — 1995) and the suffering of the population of Grubišno Polje and the
Bjelovar region in that war.
