Tour description:

As a significant factor in the plans of the German and Bulgarian occupiers in Yugoslavia, Niš played its role during World War II (1941-1945). At the same time, local underground resistance was developed, composed largely of patriots and pre-war activists for workers' rights. Well organized and bold, they have made this city a symbol of patriotism and the struggle against fascism but, unfortunately, it also made it a place in which thousands of Yugoslavs were killed by the fascists in mass executions and retaliations. Thanks to the fact that the most of the buildings and complexes in Niš are preserved right from this period, tour Niš: city of victims and heroes, more directly than our other programs brings closer a special experience of this significant part of local history and interest for ordinary people who left their mark on it.
