Summary/Abstract: The city of Grubišno Polje was exposed to the attacks of the rebel Serbs and the Yugoslavian National Army in 1991. The city defense was erected thanks to the young people which went into the Assembly of the National Guard without fear. Their warpath is precisely the theme of this paper, which is based on the notations of a young girl, Jasna Jelinek. Jasna used a camera, paper and a typing machine to note important events during the operation for the liberation of the area of Grubišno Polje “Otkos-10”. Supported by the documents of the Croatian Radio of Grubišno Polje and the Crisis Headquarters of the Assembly of the National Guard Grubišno Polje, the notations are evidence of everyday life in the city in spite of its population being killed. They discover the brutality of the Serbian rebels over the prisoners in Velika Peratovica. They are a learning lesson for the young never to repeat the horrors of war.
