Wartime activities

Štefica Galić is an ethnic

detention camps of Dretelj, Gabela, and Heliodrom.[3][4] The Galićs falsified affidavits for the people interned in the camps to prove they had a relation outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina they could move to rather than stay at the camps.[3] According to the testimonies gathered by the Gardens of the Righteous Worldwide organization, the couple rescued about a thousand people from camps, two thirds of the total Bosniak population of Ljubuški.[3][4]

Repulsed by the treatment of their fellow denizens, the Galićs moved with their three children to Prague, Czech Republic, in late 1993. They refused the benefits accorded to refugees, insisting that they were not the expelled ones. Homesickness forced them to return to Ljubuški a year later, where they were stigmatized as Yugo-nostalgics and "commies".[3] Supporters have praised Štefica Galić as the "Schindler of Ljubuški".[3] In 2019, Galić published an article about the murder of civilians in Ljubuški in 1993.[5]
