"Ordo pigdendi, ordo occidenti": iconoclasm, Hitler and the revision of the Holocaust
Get PDF"Hipoteza ovog poglavlja glasi: da je u sukobu koji je na nemačkom tlu besneo vekovima između dva slikarska shvatanja, protestantskog i rimokatoličkog, kojim slučajem pobedilo protestantsko - Holokaust se verovatno ne bi desio. Mutatis mutandis, Holokaust se ne bi desio ni da je rimokatolički likovni pijetet nekako uspeo da potisne protestantsku likovnost...
Holocaust Industry? The (American) Debate on the Instrumentalization of the Shoah at the Turn of the Century
Get PDFTema rada je istorijska debata oko fenomena tzv. industrije Holokausta. U osnovi ove debate nalaze se pitanja „centralnosti“, jedinstvenosti, univerzalizacije, amerikanizacije i instrumentalizacije Šoe. Nakon goruće javne kontraverze, posledično uništenih karijera i političkog zbijanja redova, ta pitanja ostala su da lebde kao preteći označitelji Zeitgeista savremene kulture sećanja, kao otvorena priča o etičnosti reprezentacije Holokausta. U radu polazimo od načina na koje pojam industrije Holokausta tematizuju troje autora s početka 21. veka u svojim knjigama: zborniku Amerikanizacija Holokausta Hilen Flanzbaum (Hilene Flanzbaum, 1999), Holokaust u američkom životu Pitera Novika (Peter Novick, 1999) i Industrija Holokausta: Razmišljanja o eksploataciji jevrejske patnje Normana Finkelstina (Norman Finkelstein, 2000). Rad obrađuje proces (političkoekonomske) instrumentalizacije Holokausta, njene normalizacije, naturalizacije,
normativizacije i mehanizacije - u zapadnim društvima - i kritike tog procesa. Cilj teksta jeste da rasvetli na šta se misli kada se govori o industriji Holokausta i da otvori prostor za dalje promišljanje i problematizaciju govora o Holokaustu u svetlu opomene koju nam njegova aktuelna komodifikacija i industrijalizacija upućuje.In three books published at the turn of the millennium, the authors talk about the phenomenon of the pronounced presence and significance of the Holocaust in American society: Hilene Flanzbaum’s Americanization of the Holocaust (1999), Peter Novick’s Holocaust in American Life (1999) and Norman Finkelstein’s The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering (2000). These works describe (and criticize) the post-Holocaust memorial world which is characterized by the commodification, commercialization and instrumentalization of the culture of remembrance. Even though each of these authors invoked/understood the term differently, the effect of their works was the introduction of the term „Holocaust industry“ into the public discourse. Today, it has become an umbrella metaphor for a whole range of practices that represent the instrumentalization, commercialization and commodification of Holocaust remembrance. The paper deals with the process of (political-economic) instrumentalization of the Holocaust, its normalization, naturalization, normativization and mechanization - in Western societies - and criticism of that process. The paper aims to shed light on what is meant by the Holocaust industry and to open space for further reflection and problematization of the
Holocaust discourse in the light of the warning that its current commodification
and industrialization sends us
יהודי נובי סאד שנהרגו כמשתתפים במאבק האנטי-פשיסטי 1945-1941
No full textU ovoj knjizi sećamo se imena devedeset i troje Novosađana, Jevreja, koji su od 1941. do 1945. godine hrabro pružali otpor mađarskim, nemačkim, u nekim slučajevima, i italijanskim okupatorima, te domaćim izdajnicima, saradnicima tih okupacionih snaga, i u toj borbi izgubil život. Imena ovih junaka uklesana su u granitni spomenik postavljen u dvorište novosadske sinagoge. Od završetka Drugog svetskog rata, o kome ovde dajemo jedno ograničeno svedočenje, prošlo je 80 godina. Podaci i svedočenja o učesnicima tog, sad već starog, rata polako se gube, blede i nestaju. Za neke od učesnika ima dosta pouzdanih podataka, za neke postoje samo oskudni podaci: lično ime, godina rođenja i godina pogibije ili samo godina pogibije, a uz nekoliko imena nemamo ni to. U ovom poslu pravljenja spiska i davanja kratkih biografija ograničili smo se na učesnike u ratu iz jevrejske zajednice koji su rođeni na široj teritoriji Novog Sada, ali ipak ne možemo biti sigurni da smo pronašli sva imena poginulih ustanika.In this book, we remember the names of ninety-three people from Novi Sad, of Jews who from 1941 to 1945 bravely resisted the Hungarian, German, and in some cases Italian occupiers, as well as domestic traitors, collaborators of the occupying forces, and lost their lives in that struggle. The names of those heroes are carved into a granite monument placed in the courtyard of the Novi Sad synagogue. Since the end of the Second World War, which is the subject of a limited testimony here, 80 years have passed. Data and testimonies about the participants of that, by now bygone war, are slowly being lost, are slowly fading, disappearing. Regarding some of the participants, quite a lot of reliable data can be found, whereas for some of them, only scant data are available: first name, year of birth, and year of death, or just the year of death; for a few others, not even that. Although in compiling the list and adding short biographies, we have limited ourselves to the participants in the war from the Jewish community who were born in Novi Sad or its surroundings, we cannot be sure that all the fallen insurgents can be accounted for.להלן תיאור מקוצר של האנדרטה המוצבת בחצר בית הכנסת בנובי סאד, אליה חרוטים בגרניט שמות גיבורים. עברו 80 שנה מתום מלחמת העולם השנייה. מידע ועדויות על וטרנים ההיא, שהיום היא כבר מיושנת, הולכים לאיבוד, מתפוגגים ונעלמים. על חלקם מהמשתתפים יש הרבה נתונים אמינים, על חלק יש נתונים מועטים בלבד: שם פרטי, שנת לידה ושנת פטירה או רק שנת פטירה, ועם כמה אנשים אין לנו אפילו את זה. למרות שבעבודה זו של עריכת רשימה ומתן ביוגרפיות קצרות, הגבלנו את עצמנו לוטרנים מהקהילה היהודית שנולדו במחוז נובי סאד, איננו יכולים להיות בטוחים שאנו מודעים בכל לוחם שנספה.Deo teksta na srpskom, engleskom i hebrejskom jeziku (part of the text in Serbian, English and Hebrew)

Osnovali su ga Jakir Eventov (Drago Štajner), istoričar i novinar, i njegova žena Etelka, arhivistkinja, u svom domu u Haifi. Arhiv je funkcionisao pod okriljem Udruženja useljenika iz Jugoslavije u Izraelu. Prvobitno se zvao Istorijsko-muzealni odbor Udruženja. Nakon smrti Jakira Eventova zbirka je u njihovu čast preimenovana u Arhiv „Eventov”, a 1986. godine prebačena je u Jerusalim, gde je postala deo Centralnog arhiva za istoriju jevrejskog naroda. Zbirka Arhiva je bila podeljena u četiri osnovna fonda: 1) arhiv Udruženja koji, između ostalog, sadrži podatke o njegovim članovima; 2) dosijei o različitim jugoslovenskim jevrejskim zajednicama, cionističkim aktivnostima, jevrejskim organizacijama, antisemitizmu, Holokaustu, Drugom svetskom ratu i iseljenju u Izrael; 3) publikacije; 4) fotografije. Svoj doprinos zbirci dali su i Cvi Rotem, Branko Grosman, Cvi Loker, Ženi Lebl i drugi.On the occasion of the celebration of the cooperation between the National Library of Serbia and the National Library of Israel on the "Jewish Historical Press" (JPRESS) platform, on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, at 12:00 in the Atrium of the National Library of Serbia, the exhibition "Collection 'Eventov': archive of the Association of Emigrants from the former Yugoslavia in Israel" was opened.

Stories from the Temple - the exibition ambience
No full textIzložba „Priče iz Templa: metamorfoza hrama kroz prostor i vrijeme“ je primarno bila koncipirana i predstavljena na 15 panoa. Panoi su sadržavali slike i tekstove koji su bili dvostrano uređeni. Na prednjoj strani panoa tekst je dat na bosanskom jeziku, a isti sadržaj na drugoj strani na engleskom jeziku. Svaka stanica na putovanju kroz vrijeme i prostor hrama ispričana je putem fotografija, dokumenata, novinskih članaka i svjedočanstava. Putovanje kroz vrijeme započinje od prve ideje o izgradnji hrama, preko destrukcije u Drugom svjetskom ratu i prenamjene u periodu socijalizma, te opsade Sarajeva i revitalizacije u poslijeratnom periodu, do savremenosti. Panoi i prateći paneli bili su izloženi u atriju i glavnoj galeriji Bosanskog kulturnog centra, kao i na ulazu u veliku salu prostora bivše sinagoge. Ova sala sada predstavlja kino salu, kao i mjesto za kulturne programe i nastupe. Osim panoa izložba je sadržavala i nekoliko bilborda sa prikazima prijeratnog izgleda sinagoge-Templa, i oni su bili postavljeni na samom ulazu u atrij. Na ulazu u glavnu salu BKC (Templa) na prvom spratu, preko cijelih ulaznih staklenih vrata bila je izložena velika fotografija sa originalnim izgledom enterijera bivše sinagoge.The exhibition „Stories from the Temple: the metamorphosis of the Temple through space and Time“ was primarily conceived and presented on 15 panels. The panels contained photographs and texts that were double-sided. On the front side of the billboard, the text is in Bosnian, and the same content is in English on the other side. Each stop on the journey through time and space of the Temple is told through photographs, documents, newspaper articles and testimonies. The journey through time starts from the first idea of building the Temple, through its destruction in World War II and its conversion during the period of socialism, as well as the siege of Sarajevo and revitalization in the post-war period, until modern times. Panels were placed in the atrium and main gallery of the Bosnian Cultural Center and at the entrance to the main hall of the former synagogue. This hall is a cinema and a place for cultural programs and performances. At the entrance to the main hall of the BKC (Temple) on the first floor, a large photo with the original appearance of the interior of the former synagogue was displayed over the entire front glass door.Izložba održana od 1 do 30. juna 2023. godine u Bosanskom kulturnom centru u Sarajevu (the exhibition was held from June 1 to June 30, 2023, at the Bosnian Cultural Center in Sarajevo).Link na katalog izložbe (Link to the exhibition catalogue) [https://www.jevrejskadigitalnabiblioteka.rs/handle/123456789/2573]Link na izložbene panele: [https://jevrejskadigitalnabiblioteka.rs/handle/123456789/2593]Link to exhibition panels: [https://jevrejskadigitalnabiblioteka.rs/handle/123456789/2594

Također donosimo intervju Marinka Plazibata s Davidom Albaharijem, proveden oko 1989., izvorno objavljen 1991. godine u časopisu “Rijek”. Zanimljivo je vidjeti na koje teme se fokusira ovaj razgovor, proveden prije više od trideset godina, kao i replike Davida Albaharija. Dugogodišnji urednik Glasnika Darko Fischer donosi izvještaj o izložbi slika Petera Weisza, a prof. dr. sc. Zlata Živaković-Kerže vrijedan i informativan tekst o židovskim čitaonicama u međuratnom Osijeku.This issue of Glasnik is dedicated to the recently deceased writer David Albahari, written about by two people who knew him personally, Aron Albahari (who is not related to him!) and Biljana Majnik ex Papo. We also present Marinko Plazibat’s interview with David Albahari, conducted around 1989, and originally published in 1991 in the magazine “Rijek”.

Spasio me transport koji nisam uspela da izbegnem
Get PDFIn five books, "We Survived: Yugoslav Jews on the Holocaust" (three of them translated into English), the testimonies of a small number of surviving members of the Jewish community about World War II were collected. The peculiarity of the circumstances in which the entire population of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was found is reflected in the fact that at the beginning of the war, the country was occupied by five invaders: Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, Albania and the fascist satellite formation, the so-called. The Independent State of Croatia. These circumstances also led to different ways of surviving and rescuing Jews from these areas. The Jewish Historical Museum of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Yugoslavia / Serbia published these books with the help of donations and volunteer work of the editorial board in which seven of nine members survived the Holocaust. These books are an extraordinary collection of tragic and dramatic experiences about unique choices - the struggle for life, dignity, and freedom in partisans; about concentration camps, about refugee life under constant threat, about help and friendships. They are also a good basis for exploring the Holocaust and the history of Jews from the former Yugoslavia. Each testimony is enriched with a series of photographs and together with the text, they make unique documentation material. As the suffering of Jews on the territory of the former Yugoslavia is poorly known to the general public, these books have the task of filling that space. They thus become a memorial for all the victims whose many names are found only in memory. One of those memories is "I was saved by a transport which I could not avoid" by Dina Remer
