Life

Holy New Martyr Anica Malović was born in 1938 in the village of Plužine in the Piva region of Montenegro. She was the only one of the Malović kin among the forty-⁠six people who suffered together in June 1943, and at the time she was about five.

With the Adžić, Gojković, Luburić, Ninošević and Sočica families she was shut by soldiers of the SS division "Handschar" into the hut of Obren Gojković at Gojkovića Dol and burned there. Twenty-⁠nine of the dead were children. Their remains were buried in a common grave at the church of Saint John the Baptist in Plužine.

The Serbian Orthodox Church glorified the martyrs of Piva on 24 May 2017; they are commemorated on 24 May in the old style.
