Daksa

Daksa is a small island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea. It is the smallest island in the Elaphiti Islands archipelago and is situated near Dubrovnik.

The island was the site of a Partisan massacre upon their entrance to Dubrovnik in late October 1944.[1] The mayor of Dubrovnik Niko Koprivica was among those executed.[2] In September 2009, authorities discovered the remains of six victims in the area.[3] Soon after this, the Daksa 1944/45 Association announced that 48 bodies were discovered on the island.[4] The president of the Croatian Helsinki Committee Ivo Banac called for an investigation into what exactly occurred during the massacre.[5]

The members of the Croatian Bishops' Conference visited the site in October, 2009.[6]
