Memorial Center Lipa remembers was opened in Lipa on April 2015 on the site of the former Memorial Museum operating from 1968 to 1989. With the restoration of the museum, memory is also being restored. Memory of heavy historical heritage of 30th of April 1944 when Lipa, in just a few hours, lost 269 of its residents, mostly elderly, women and children. The crime was committed by the Nazis and Fascists within the "Braunschweig" offensive- territory cleansing operation against partisan "bandits". Killing civilians was followed by the theft of their property, and burning all of their houses and farmhouses. The end of World War II brings Lipa to its knees as surviving inhabitants have no homes to return to. At this point a long and painstaking restoration began, and the continuation of life marked by a sense of loss. Today Lipa lives and remembers. The permanent exhibition of the Memorial Center Lipa remembers interprets the history of World War II in the microregion of Liburnian Karst that, in addition to Lipa, comprises of Pasjak, Rupa, Šapjane and Brdce. Memorial Heritage of World War II is complemented by the overview of the continuity of life in this region, from prehistoric times to the present, with a special emphasis on the cultural, ethnographic and historical heritage, dating before and after the tragic event. In holistic approach to this regions heritage, the tragic event of 30th of April 1944 can be seen in a broader context, as only one of many identity features belonging to vital and potent community of Lipa.

Stunning!
This small museum complex in a small village is unfortunately not well-known as many other WWII sites. The bottom floor is dedicated to the ethnographical part while the ground floor and upper floor are dedicated to 1944 massacre. The presentation of the massacre is very impressive. While walking upstairs you can hear in the background the noise of the boots of the German soldiers. Up there you can see a good presentation of the history of Istria before and during WWII. Then there are also the names of the victims and some other things that make the whole story stunning. An important part of the complex are also the ruins that remained after the massacre. Some hundred metres away there is also a monument dedicated to the victims. The charming ethnographical department shows some tools that were in use decades ago in these parts of Istria. And I must not forget to mention the kind museum lady who made her best to explain us some interesting facts about the museum. The admission is about 1€ (10kn). Highly recommended!
