Coalminer
Tuzla and surrounding region has always been known for its coalmines. Coalminers played a big role in an uprising against German occupying army in the Second World War. They organized themselves as a part of a ‘partisan’ army.
This “Coalminer” monument was built to commemorate all the coalminers that lost their lives in the Second World War. Nearly every household had a small version of the “Coalminer”.
Almost every family had someone working in a coalmine industry.
