Nakon "oslobođenja" grada Senja i senjskog područja 9. travnja 1945. formirala se "narodna vlast". U surovom obračunu sa svima koji nisu slijepo vjerovali idejama jugoslavenstva i komunizma, uhićeni su i suđeni Senjani i stanovnici okolice, i drugi koji su se tog trenutka zatekli na senjskom području. Premda većinom nisu imali drugih grijeha, gotovo su svi strijeljani. Takva sudbina zadesila je i Senjane koji su osuđeni u Senju i ubijeni kod mjesta Gornja Kozica (10-ak km sjevernije od Senja) 22. travnja 1945. Tragičnu sudbinu tih ljudi autor iznosi na temelju iskaza svjedoka i prema izvodima iz
lažiranih presuda Vojnog suda Jugoslavenske armije (Vijeće na Sušaku), koje se u članku objavljuju kao prilozi.After "liberation" of the city of Senj and its districts on 9th April 1945 was formed the "national command". In brutal requital with all those who did not blindly believe in ideas of yugoslavianism and communism, a great number of people from Senj and its suburbs and some others who happened to found themselves there at that moment, were arrested and condemned. Although they mostly did not have other sins, almost all were executed by firing sqads.
The same fate befell to those people from Senj who were condemned at Senj and killed at Gornja Kozica (the village less than ten kilometres on the north of Senj). The author deals with the tragic
fate of those people on the basis of verbal evidences and according to the excerpts from fixed prejudications of the Military Court of the Yugoslav Army (Council at Sušak), which have been made public as enclosures of this article.Nach der "Befreiung" der Stadt Senj und ihrer Umgebung wurde am 9. April die sgn. Volksgewalt errichtet. In einer groben Abrcchnung mit alien, die an die Ideen Jugoslawentums und des Kommunismus nicht glauben wollten, wurden fast alle auf dem Gebiet von Senj und
seiner Umgebung angetroffencn. Antikommunisten, nur wegen ihrer politischen Meinung, verhaftet und erschossen. Solches Schiksal hat auch diejenigen Senjer getroffen, die in Senj verurteilt und in Gornja Kozica (etwa zehn Kilometer nördlich von Senj) erschossen wurden.
Das tragische Schicksal dieser unschuldigen Leute wird in diesem Artikel auf Grund der Aussagen von den Zeugcn, sowie nach den hier veröffentlichten Ableitungen aus den verfalschten
Verurteilungcn des Kriegsgerichtes der jugoslawischen Armce (Rat in Sušak) dargestellt
