Josip Tvrtko Reihl Kir, from Slavonija, whose parents, his father a German from Slavonia and his mother a Croat, were partisans from the beginning of the 2nd World War, firstly a high school teacher and later a policeman with a brilliant career, the head of the Osijek police station, was killed at 13.20 on 1st July 1991 at the entry to the village of Tenje.
With this project, the exhibition Who is Reihl Kir to you?, we would like to pay respect to this Yugoslavian peacemaker, and to remind you about the man who genuinely believed that his country and his fellow townsmen had greater need of him than his family, his wife Jadranka and their only daughter.
