WWII

On 12 July, the Ministry of Deportation () was founded in Moravice, led by teacher Ivan Porić and manager Franjo Naglić, who was also an Ustaša ''tabornik''. The board included carpenter Josip Štiglić, economist Mato Falak and ''općinski načelnik'' Anton Mufić. That July, Naglić informed his superiors that 3 Serb homesteads had been emptied in Jakšići and Gornji Vučkovići.

On 3 August 1941, the Ustaše arrested 85 (or 63) Serb railway workers in Srpske Moravice. These were transferred to Ogulin, then Koprivnica, then Gospić then Jadovno where they were killed. Simo Jakšić was to work that morning, but at 3:00 Mihajlo Jakšić warned him that the Ustaše had arrived at the station and by 4:00 rounded up all of the night shift work. Simo's wife had is daughter Milka tell manager Šarčević that Simo was sick, and since Šarčević demanded to hear from her mother, her mother came in person, and so Simo survived. Mihajlo Jakšić himself fled across the Dobra to Jakšići, warning second shift workers along the way while his children Stojan and Marija went to the station to call their father in sick only to encounter wailing in front of the Ferenc house and, not far from ''Jovičin dućan'', a column of bound Serbs walking two-by-two toward the station. Marija asked Mitar Jakšić-Miljaljčev, "Mitar, what is this?" () but he merely silently lowered his shoulders in response to her asking multiple times. Đoko Dokmanović-Stevkov fled his house undressed. In the morning, they transferred the arrestees from the ''Sokolski dom'' to the railway station and put them on a freight train. Their wives and children called out to them, and laid themselves across the tracks. The Italians removed them from the tracks "in the roughest manner" (), and the Ustaše finished loading the wagons and the train drove off to Ogulin.

A day or two after the railway station arrests, the Ustaše were supposed to round up the remaining Serb workers at their houses. They walked the streets crying "Najbolje – rasap!" meaning "Flee and save yourselves". They were assisted by locals in the location of the Serbs' addresses.

At 21:30 on 12 June 1942, a group of 10–15 Partisans armed with rifles and machine guns attacked the Chetniks armed by the Italians in Jakšići, who successfully warded off the attack.
