October 30, 2024

At this site, in September 1941, the first two partisan units were formed in the village of Rakovac. The first unit was established on September 19, 1941, in the shelter of the communist Nikola Mojić and in the presence of the first commander of the Fruška Gora partisan detachment, Sima Relić. The second unit, composed of workers from the Rakovac quarry, was formed on September 24. On that occasion, both of these units took the ceremonial "partisan oath".
After the war, this date was designated as the Day of the Uprising in Rakovac. Rakovac also remembers October 18, 1943, when a punitive expedition led by Anton Bauer arrived in the village. After two days of arrests and terror, they set fire to the entire village, including the Rakovac monastery.
Three decades later, a memorial complex was erected, dedicated to the "Partisan Oath" and to the fallen fighters and victims of fascist terror. Near the road is a small plateau with an architectural composition made up of five concrete walls of different sizes and shapes. The walls were decorated with plaques that had been stolen in the past twenty years.
One of them bore the verses written by the poet Mika Antić: "At this place in September 1941, the heart of Srem pounded with the beat of the Revolution." Behind the entrance plateau is a stone wall with a tunnel-like shelter. Above the shelter is a mosaic created by the eminent artist Boško Petrović.
After the death of Josip Broz Tito in 1980, another mosaic featuring Tito's portrait was added above the entrance to the shelter. On the inner wall of the shelter is the inscribed text of the Partisan Oath to remind visitors of this event. Within the complex is also a crypt and memorial tablets inscribed with the names of the fallen fighters and victims of fascist terror in Rakovac.
