'''Stjepan Filipović''' ([[Cyrillic script]]: Стјепан "Стево" Филиповић) (27 January 1916 &ndash; 22 May 1942) was a [[Croatians|Croatian]] [[Yugoslav Partisans|Partisan]] who was executed during [[World War II]] and posthumously declared a [[People's Hero of Yugoslavia]].<br />
<br />
Filipović was born on 27 January 1916 in [[Opuzen]] (in modern-day [[Dubrovnik-Neretva County]], [[Croatia]]), in the last days of the [[Austria Hungary|Austro-Hungarian Empire]]. Before the outbreak of the Second World War he lived in [[Mostar]] and [[Kragujevac]], then both part of the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]]. He joined the workers' movement in 1937, and the [[Communist Party of Yugoslavia]] in 1940. Filipović was arrested in 1939 and sentenced to a year in prison.<br />
<br />
Filipović was commander of the Partisans' Tomnasko-Kolubarski unit in [[Valjevo]] by 1941. He was captured on 24 February 1942 by [[Axis powers|Axis forces]] and subsequently hanged in Valjevo, occupied [[Yugoslavia]], on 22 May 1942. As the rope was put around his neck, Filipović defiantly thrust his hands out and denounced the Germans and their Axis allies as murderers, shouting "Death to fascism, freedom to the people!". He urged the Yugoslav people to resist and implored them to never cease resisting. At this moment, a subsequently-famous photograph was taken from which a statue was cast.<ref>Sinclair, Upton; Sagarin, Edward; Teichnerhe, Albert; Cry for Justice: An Anthology of the Literature of Social Protest p. 438; L. Stuart, 1963.</ref><br />
<br />
Filipović was declared a National Hero of Yugoslavia on 14 December 1949.<ref>Burns, Richard; ''The Blue Butterfly: Selected Writings'' p. 144; Salt, 2006, ISBN 1844712583.</ref> The town of Valjevo has a statue dedicated to him, "''Stevan'' Filipović". A monument was also erected in his home town of Opuzen in 1968, but was torn down in 1991.{{Fact|date=January 2009}}<br />
