Marija Lukšić
Marija Lukšić was born in 1951 in Dubrovnik, in a family that comes from Herzegovina. At the beginning of the war in the 1990s she was living in Župa Dubrovačka with her family: her husband, two sons and a daughter. After some ten days, during which they were left without electricity and water, she and her children went to Dubrovnik as refugees, believing that it would be easier for them there. On October 18, 1991 her husband was captured and taken to the Morinj camp, where he was imprisoned until November 8. She spent some time as a refugee in Slovenia, with her children. On June 29, 1992, during a shelling, her young son Luka was killed. She returned to Župa with her family on Christmas 1992. Today she is retired and she is the president of the Association of Civil Victims of the Homeland War in Dubrovačko-Neretvanska County.
