Rade Končar

Rade Končar was a prominent Yugoslav Partisan and a national hero known for his significant contributions during World War II. Born in 1918 in the town of the same name, he became a symbol of resistance against fascism in the Balkans. Končar's leadership and bravery earned him recognition, and he played a crucial role in various military operations against Axis forces. Tragically, he was captured and executed by the Nazis in 1945, but his legacy endures in the form of schools, streets, and institutions named in his honor, including the Osnovna škola 'Rade Končar' in Zemun, which has recently been in the news for an incident involving a student.
