Marina Maglov

Marina Maglov was born in 1960 in Nova Gradiška. After her marriage she moved to Knin, where she has been living since 1980. She lived in a mixed marriage; her husband is of Orthodox religion. At the beginning of the war in the 1990s they decided not to leave their home and to remain in Knin. In the period from 1991 to 1995 she lived with her husband and children in the area of SAO Krajina and she witnessed changing economic and social trends. At the same time, a part of her family lived in the area of western Slavonia. During the war, Serb paramilitary units killed two of her uncles. At the time of Operation Storm she was in Belgrade for medical treatment. Not knowing about the newly developed situation, she tried to return to Knin exactly at the time when Operation Storm was being carried out. She ended up in refuge in Inđija, where she spent two months before returning to Knin with her children. Her husband returned to Knin in 1997. Today she lives in Knin and she is unemployed.
