Josip Tvrtko Reihl-Kir, a Slavonian whose parents, a Slavonian German father and a Croatian mother, were Partisan veterans of the Second World War; first a high school teacher, and then a professional policeman with a brilliant career, the head of the police department in Osijek was killed on July 1, 1991, at 13.20 h at the entrance to the village of Tenja. So that the slaughter could begin. So that violence would be freed from all historical, legal, moral and human responsibility.

The authors of the exhibition visual setup Metaklinika/Petokraka "opened the cabinets" in Reihel Kir's office, the station, and in them, there is documentation about the murder, instead of suits, clippings from the press, testimonies, photographs hanging on the racks.
