Saša Božović

Saša Božović (Serbian Cyrillic: Саша Божовић; 4 August 1912 – 10 December 1995) was a doctor, writer and participant in the antifascist resistance of the Yugoslav Partisans during World War II in Yugoslavia.

After the April 1941 German bombing of Belgrade in Operation Retribution she left the city while pregnant and moved to Podgorica in modern-day Montenegro.

[1] Since her husband was one of the main organizers of the 1941 Uprising in Montenegro, Italian forces imprisoned her and subsequently sent her to a concentration camp in the Albanian Kingdom.

Her daughter Dolores, called "Little Partisan" by Sava Kovačević, died from consequences of low temperature, hunger and exhaustion on 7 March 1943 during the Battle of the Neretva.

After the Belgrade Offensive she became a military delegate at the Yugoslav Red Cross and in 1944 she became a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.
