A memorial tomb was constructed behind the Blagaj school after the war . The remains of the victims were later transferred to Veljun , where a mausoleum was erected . The monument , erected by Yugoslavia 's socialist government , evasively described the perpetrators as " fascists " rather than explicitly calling them Ustaše , part of an attempt at fostering cooperation and reconciliation among the country 's ethnic groups . Until 1990 , commemorations were held annually every May , with the mandatory attendance of schoolchildren . " Children from Veljun would hear how , in this place , their grandfathers had been killed and the Blagaj Ustaše were the ones who killed them , " Goldstein writes . " Children from Blagaj would hear how their grandfathers had been killers , how with no reason they had murdered the grandfathers of the children from Veljun , with whom they went to the same school . " In private , the residents of Blagaj blamed Chetniks from Veljun , Poloj and other Serbian villages for initiating an uprising against the NDH and killing the Mravunac family , for which no more than 150 were tried and executed in accordance with the law . The historians Philip Cook and Ben Shepherd note that the atrocities that took place in April and May 1941 , such as those at Gudovac , Blagaj and Glina , occurred before any organized uprising by either the Partisans or Chetniks . For the Serbs of Kordun , the killings came to epitomize the brutality of Ustaše rule , and were commemorated in Serbian folk poetry
