Ivanka Katava
Ivanka Katava was born in 1968 in Stari Jankovci, in eastern Slavonia. At the outbreak of the war in the 1990s she was with her husband and family in Stari Jankovci. With the beginning of the conflict she sought refuge with her small child, first in Vinkovci, and later in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her husband, who was subject to a work obligation, stayed in Jankovci. At the time of the fall of Jankovci she was in Ivankovo, whilst her mother, father, brother and grandmother remained in Jankovci. In March 1992 all four of them were killed in their own house. According to the stories that she later heard, her father and brother had spent some time imprisoned in the Stajićevo camp. An indictment for the killing of her family has been issued, but those responsible are still out of reach and the crime has never been prosecuted. Ivanka Katava returned to Stari Jankovci in 1995, and she still lives there today
