Life
Holy New Martyr Mileva Ninošević was born in 1937 into the Ninošević family of Piva, in Montenegro. In June 1943 she was six and was among the twenty-nine children of the group of forty-six people of Plužine who suffered together.
With her were Milica (born 1885), Sara (1906), Olga (1938), Ratko (1939) and Svetozar (1940), of the same kin. Soldiers of the SS division "Handschar" shut them into the hut of Obren Gojković at Gojkovića Dol and set it on fire. Those who found the remains buried them in a common grave before the church at Plužine.
The Serbian Orthodox Church glorified the martyrs of Piva on 24 May 2017, and Mileva is commemorated on 24 May in the old style.
