Is this account biased I might have heard something similar mentioned by bible illustrated hands in one of his videos on the RC church but i cannot fully recall if this is the event.
"St. Great-martyr Sava, Orthodox Bishop of Gornji Karlovci. In June 1941, only days after the fall of Yugoslavia, was arrested by the Croatian Roman-catholic fanatics, at the beginning of newly established NAZI occupation, along with 9 of his priests and deacons that worked in the Orthodox Diocese. The bishop was offered to flee to Belgrade, but he refused to leave behind his flock of which the majority was about to be slaughtered. The Croats broke in to the Bishop’s palace and demanded of him to leave “New catholic state of Croatia.” After leaving the Diocese’s palace, the persecutors forbade the arrested bishop to speak to his mother, but he managed to bless her with his tied hands. At the train station the chained bishop had to stand for 7 hours, as being forbidden to sit or lay down. For two months the bishop with his priests was tortured in the stall of the peasant Joseph Tomljenović.
In the middle of month August 1941, persecutors peeled off the skin of Bishop Sava, then they poured salt on his skinless body. Surviving that, bishop was buried, leaving only his head on the surface, which was crushed with iron harrow.
And so it was, in the year of 1941, Orthodox Bishop Sava of Gornji Karlovci, soiled with his blood his local diocese which he refused to leave.
