About Igor Kačić
- Igor Kacic (23 August 1975 – 20 November 1991) was a Croatian teenager who was killed during the Vukovar massacre.
- Kacic was born and raised in Vukovar to Petar and Irena Kacic with his twin sister Silvia and older sister Sandra.
- At the beginning of the Battle of Vukovar during the Croatian War of Independence, Kacic was supposed to attend the second grade of the Electrical engineering high school in Vukovar.On September 14, 1991, the Kacic family apartment was destroyed by shelling, after which they were forced to seek refuge in a bomb shelter.
- Kacic's father was actively involved in the defense of Vukovar until his death on October 2, 1991.
- As the fall of Vukovar began to appear inevitable, on November 18, 1991, Kacic and his family were moved into the shelter of the Vukovar hospital by the comrades of his late father.
- Igor obtained a rifle and would stand guard at the entrance to the shelter.On November 20, 1991, two days after the fall of Vukovar, Kacic, his mother and sisters came out of the hospital basement with other refugees under orders of the Yugoslav People's Army and local Serb forces.
- Outside, Veselin Šljivancanin, officer of the Yugoslav People's Army, was standing at the door separating the men from women and children.
- He pointed to Kacic, who was a tall and strong young man, and he put him among the men, saying: "You over there!".
- Igor Kacic's mother asked Šljivancanin "Why him, he's just a kid?" as she showed him Igor's health card with the date of his birth.
- Šljivancanin replied: "We'll check everything." That was the last time his mother and sisters saw Kacic.
- He was killed at Ovcara the same day.In 1996, the exhumation at Ovcara started, and Kacic's remains were found, together with a gold pendant, a little dolphin that he carved during his time in the shelter, and a couple of die-cast toy cars.
- His mother later found out that Kacic was separated at Ovcara into a group of men who were supposed to be released, but their neighbor from Vukovar reportedly said that he should not to be released because "he is the son of an Ustaša".
- Kacic was buried in 1997 at the Rijeka cemetery, together with his father, whose remains were exhumed in 1998.
- He was the youngest victim of the Vukovar massacre.On November 11, 2012 a monument was revealed in Vukovar, called "Father and Son", honoring Petar and Igor Kacic.
