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 "My memory is the only monument to my family" by Olivera Đurđić

The story
Get PDFKratka, topla, često bolna, od srca ispričana ljudska priča iz pera Dunje Frankental (rođene Kovačević). Njena životna sudbina, vjerovatno i nenadano, nekim sudbonosnim nitima i vezama, dovodi je u Izrael. U toj priči jednostavnoj i po naslovu, a naizgled i realno nevelikog i obima, ispričana je životna sudbina njene porodice, tako lako prepoznatljiva i u mogućim životnim okolnostima mnogih od nas! Da li se porodični ’životni krug’ opisanih sudbina i događaja ’zatvorio’ ... ili ne ... neka o tome sude oni koje je pročitaju, a vjerujem da ni sama autorka ne može i neće na ovo dati ’konačni odgovor’.A short, warm, often painful, heartfelt human story from the pen of Dunja Frankental (née Kovačević). Her fate in life, probably unexpectedly, by some fateful threads and connections, brings her to Israel. In that story, which is simple in its title, and seemingly realistically small in scope, the life fate of her family is told, so easily recognizable even in the possible life circumstances of many of us! Whether the family 'circle of life' of the described destinies and events has 'closed' ... or not ... let those who read it judge that, and I believe that even the author herself cannot and will not give a 'final answer' to this
What does a totalitarian state make of a man? Action perspectives between conformity and resistance
Get PDFNezavisna Država Hrvatska, koju su osnovali Hrvatski revolucionarni pokret “Ustaše” (uz potporu i odobrenje sila Osovine), nastala je bez pitanja svojih građana za njihov pristanak. Građani su ga komentirali na različite načine: pozdravljajući ga, pasivno čekajući, ali i aktivno izražavajući svoje protivljenje. Aktivan, oružani otpor bio je opcija isprva malog kruga koji je morao biti dovoljno hrabar da se suoči s dobro opremljenom vojskom i brutalnom podaničkom politikom ustaša pod okriljem nacionalsocijalističke vlasti. Građani su se pokoravali okupatorima i svojim hrvatskim suradnicima - uostalom, ako su htjeli osigurati egzistenciju, morali su preživjeti. Ali bilo je i sugrađana koji su u ovom režimu “vidjeli svoje šanse”, radili zajedno, stvarali karijere na tuđim leđima, ponudili se i prihvatili rizik da budu prokazani, “proglašeni” provokatorima i klevetama svojih bližnjih. Morali su znati da svoje "doušnike" izlažu opasnosti po život i tijelo. Takve službe bile su prezrene od pamtivijeka, kako je njemački pjesnik August Heinrich Graf von Fallersleben sažeo u 19. stoljeću: “Najveći zlikovac u cijeloj zemlji jest i ostaje doušnik.” Drugi su građani, međutim, vidjeli progonjene i njihove patnje - pomagali su ugroženima upozoriti, sakriti, dovesti na sigurno - i intervenirati kod vlasti u korist ugroženih (trenutno 130 hrvatskih “Pravednika među narodima”!). Ustrojstvo Nezavisne Države Hrvatske već je temeljito ispitano i kronološki i funkcionalno. U svim studijama o nastanku ustaške države, ljudi su prvenstveno viđeni kao zločinci: Da bi se razumjeli njihovi motivi, već se može osloniti na studije o funkcioniranju nacionalsocijalizma u Njemačkoj i zemljama koje su Nijemci okupirali: Glavni državni odvjetnik Fritz Bauer, i sam od režima progonjen i prisiljen emigrirati, proučavao je aktere režima, "male sljedbenike" i smjestio ih u 200 godina staru prusku tradiciju - oličenje bezdušne, mehaničke poslušnosti. Etos državne službe u Habsburškoj Monarhiji pokazuje strukturne sličnosti, a one su pak prenesene na upravljanje državama nasljednicama Monarhije.Der Unabhängige Staat Kroatien, eine Gründung der Kroatischen Revolutionären Bewegung „Ustascha“ (mit Unterstützung und Billigung der Achsenmächte) entstand, ohne dass seine Bürger um ihre Zustimmung gefragt wurden. Die Bürger haben sich in vielfältiger Weise dazu geäußert: ihn begrüßt, sich abwartend passiv verhalten, aber auch aktiv ihre Gegnerschaft bekundet. Aktiver, bewaffneter Widerstand war die Option eines anfangs kleinen Kreises, der für die Konfrontation mit einem hochgerüsteten Heer und für die brutale Unterwerfungspolitik der Ustascha unter der Ägyde nationalsozialistischer Behörden todesmutig sein musste. Bürger haben sich den Besatzern und ihren kroatischen Kollaborateuren unterworfen - schließlich mussten, wollten sie ihre Existenz sichern, überleben. Aber es gab auch Mitbürger, die in diesem Regime „ihre Chancen sahen“, mitarbeiteten, selbst auf dem Rücken anderer Karriere machten, sich andienten und in Kauf nahmen, zu denunzieren, als Provokateuere „auszuhorchen“ und Verleumdungen von Mitmenschen den Nachrichtendiensten zuzutragen. Sie mussten wissen, dass sie ihre „Informanten“ an Leib und Leben gefährdeten. Solche Dienste waren seit Menschengedenken verachtet, wie im 19.Jahrhundert der deutsche Dichter August Heinrich Graf von Fallersleben summierte: „Der größte Schuft im ganzen Land ist und bleibt der Denunziant“.Andere Mitbürger aber sahen die Verfolgten und ihre Leiden - sie halfen Gefährdete zu warnen, zu verstecken, in Sicherheit zu bringen - und bei den Behörden zugunsten Gefährdeter zu intervenierten (dzt. 130 kroatische „Gerechte unter den Völkern“!). Der Aufbau des Unabhängigen Staates Kroatien wurde sowohl chronologisch als auch funktional schon gründlich untersucht . In allen Studien zur Entstehung des Ustaschastaates kamen die Menschen vor allem als Täter in den Blick: Um deren Motive zu verstehen kann man bereits auf Untersuchungen zum Funktionieren des Nationalsozialismus in Deutschland und den von Deutschen besetzten Ländern zurückgreifen: Der deutsche Generalstaatsanwalt Fritz Bauer, selbst vom Regime verfolgt und zur Emigration gezwungen, studierte die Akteure des Regimes, die „kleinen Mitläufer“ und verortete sie in der 200 Jahre alten preußischen Tradition – dem Inbegriff von seelenlosem, mechanischen Gehorsam . Das Beamtenethos der Habsburger-Monarchie weist strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten auf, und diese wiederum haben sich auf die Staatsführung in den Nachfolgestaaten der Monarchie übertragen.The Independent State of Croatia, founded by the Croatian Revolutionary Movement “Ustasha” (with the support and approval of the Axis powers), came into being without asking its citizens for their consent. Citizens have commented on it in various ways: welcoming it, taking a passive wait-and-see approach, and actively expressing their opposition. Active, armed resistance was the option of an initially small circle that had to be brave enough to face the confrontation with a well-equipped army and the brutal subjugation policy of the Ustaše under the aegis of National Socialist authorities. Citizens submitted to the occupiers and their Croatian collaborators - after all, if they wanted to secure their existence, they had to survive. But there were also fellow citizens who “saw their chances” in this regime, worked together, made careers on the backs of others, offered themselves and accepted the risk of being denounced, being “sounded out” as provocateurs and reporting slander against their fellow human beings to the intelligence services. They had to know that they were risking their “informants” to life and limb. Such services have been despised since immemorial, as the German poet August Heinrich Graf von Fallersleben summed up in the 19th century: “The greatest villain in the entire country is and remains the informer.” Other citizens, however, saw the persecuted and their suffering - they helped those in danger to warn, to hide, to bring them to safety - and to intervene with the authorities on behalf of those at risk (currently 130 Croatian “Righteous Among the Nations”!). The structure of the Independent State of Croatia has already been thoroughly examined both chronologically and functionally. In all studies on the emergence of the Ustasha state, the people were primarily seen as perpetrators: To understand their motives, one can already fall back on studies on the functioning of National Socialism in Germany and the countries occupied by Germans: The German Attorney General Fritz Bauer, himself from regime persecuted and forced to emigrate, studied the regime's actors, the "little followers" and located them in the 200-year-old Prussian tradition - the epitome of soulless, mechanical obedience. The civil service ethos of the Habsburg Monarchy shows structural similarities, and these in turn were transferred to the governance of the monarchy's successor states.Ovaj rad nagrađen je trećom nagradom na 67. nagradnom konkursu Saveza Jevrejskih opština Srbije za 2023. godinu (this work was awarded the third prize at the 67th award competition of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Serbia for 2023)
On some undocumented victims of the Holocaust in the Independent State of Croatia [exhibition catalogue]
No full textNa teritoriji satelitske nacističke tvorevine zvane Nezavisna Država Hrvatska od njenog nastanka 1941. godine pa sve do samog kraja Drugog svetskog rata 1945. godine zločinački ustaški režim aktivno je, sistematski i brutalno vršio genocid nad Srbima, Romima i Jevrejima. Masovno i plansko ubijanje Jevreja započeto je ubrzo po proglašenju ove marionetske Hitlerove države, čime je ustaški režim u Zagrebu zapravo bio prvi činilac u realizaciji „konačnog rešenja jevrejskog pitanja“ odnosno biološke eksterminacije Avramove dece, pre nego što su i sami njihovi ideološko-politički pokrovitelјi definitivno usvojili isti cilј na konferenciji nacističke vrhuške u Vanzeu 1942. godine. Holokaust koji se kontinuirano i nemilosrdno sprovodio na teritoriji NDH sve vreme njenog postojanja odneo je preko 30.000 života jugoslovenskih Jevreja. I posle punih 75 godina od prestanka lova i likvidacije Jevreja u NDH, uprkos upornim i pedantnim istraživanjima generacija istoričara, još uvek je nepoznat identitet mnogih žrtava. Na ovom mestu biće prezentovano više dosad neidentifikovanih jevrejskih lica koja su u životu dočekala osnivanje NDH ali čija je ratna sudbina nepoznata pa se nisu mogla naći ni na jednom od spiskova preživelih, nestalih ili ubijenih.In the territory of the satellite Nazi creation called the Independent State of Croatia, and since its inception in 1941 up until the very end of the Second World War in 1945, the criminal Ustasha regime had actively, systematically, and brutally committed genocide against Serbs, Roma, and Jews. The mass and planned killing of Jews began soon after the declaration of independence of this puppet, Hitler-controlled state, making the Ustasha
regime in Zagreb, the initial actor in implementing “the final solution to the Jewish question” - that is, the biological extermination of Abraham’s children. This occurred even prior to the ideological and political patrons of this goal ultimately declaring it officially at a Nazi leader conference of 1942 in Wannsee. The Holocaust, which was continuously and mercilessly implemented in the territory of the Independent State of Croatia throughout its existence, resulted in the deaths of over 30,000 Yugoslav Jews. Even after a full 75 years
since the cessation of the manhunt against and liquidation of Jews in the Independent State of Croatia, and despite persistent and meticulous research by generations of historians, the identities of many victims remain unknown. This paper will present multiple Jewish individuals unidentified until this point who lived to witness the creation of the Independent State of Croatia but whose wartime fate is still undiscovered.Naučni rad "O nekim nepopisanim žrtvama Holokausta sa prostora NDH" objavljen je u "Topola: časopis JU Spomen-područja Donja Gradina", 2022 godine (vol. 8, br. 8, str. 80-108) (the scientific paper "On several undocumented victims of the Holocaust the Independent State of Croatia" was published in "Topola: Journal of the Donja Gradina Memorial Area", 2022 (vol. 8, no. 8, pp. 80-108); link [https://jevrejskadigitalnabiblioteka.rs/handle/123456789/2191
Anti-Semitic phenomena and processes in the Vardar part of Macedonia, Macedonia within the Yugoslav Federation and the Republic of Macedonia (1919-2018)
Get PDFАнтисемитизмот претставува систем на предрасуди или омраза кон Евреите. Тоа е процес, кој успева постепено да се модифицира и да се прилагоди во различните облици на владеење. Главно, постојат три манифестации на антисемитизам: пагански, христијански и модерен. Паганскиот антисемитизам се темели на верската различност на Евреите од другите народи. Христијанскиот антисемитизам е поттикнуван од клевети дека Евреите ја користеле крвта на христијанските деца за ритуални цели, односно дека Евреите се одговорни за смртта на Исус Христос. Додека, пак, за разлика од претходните, модерниот антисемитизм се темели на расни премиси, кој се појавува како последица на националните чуствадека Евреите се група народ, кој се разликува од другите народи според своите: култура, јазик и религија. Односно, според модерниот антисемитизам, Евреите се сметаат за инфериорна раса поради каракеристиките на крвта во гените. Токму таквите различности придонеле за создавање на стереотипи за Евреите дека се многу богати луѓе, кои владеат со трговијата и го контролират светот преку финансиите, дека ја контролираат филмската индустрија во Холивуд и медиумите во светот. И токму затоа антисемитизмот е појава, која успешно се прелагодува на времето и на просторот. Во македонската историографија антисемитизот, како појава, е истражуван спорадично, најчесто во неколкуте монографии, кои се фокусираат на животот на Евреите во Македонија. За оваа проблематика постои една исклучително значајна колекција видеоматеријали во сопственост на Меморијалниот музеј на холокаустот од Вашингтон, во Соединетите Американски Држави (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum), во која доминираат сведоштвата, кои се осврнуваат на стравот што постоел кај интервјуираните лица поради наративот дека Евреите ја користеле крвта на христијанските деца за ритуални цели. Она што го има во сведоштвата се забележува и во делото на Жени Лебл, "Плима и Слом". Во македонското општество постојано се тврди дека тоа е имуно на антисемитизмот, меѓутоа, под површината, постоеле и сѐуште постојат бројни антисемитски појави и процеси.Antisemitizam je sistem predrasuda ili mržnje prema Jevrejima. To je proces koji uspeva da se postepeno modifikuje i prilagodi različitim oblicima upravljanja. Uglavnom, postoje tri manifestacije antisemitizma: paganski, hrišćanski i moderni. Paganski antisemitizam je zasnovan na verskoj raznolikosti Jevreja od drugih naroda. Hrišćanski antisemitizam je podstaknut klevetama da su Jevreji koristili krv hrišćanske dece u ritualne svrhe, odnosno da su Jevreji odgovorni za smrt Isusa Hrista. Dok se, za razliku od prethodnih, savremeni antisemitizam zasniva na rasnim premisama, što se javlja kao posledica nacionalnih osećanja, budući da su Jevreji grupa ljudi, koja se od drugih naroda razlikuje po svojoj: kulturi, jeziku i veri. Odnosno, prema modernom antisemitizmu, Jevreji se smatraju inferiornom rasom zbog navodnih karakteristika krvi u njihovim genima. Upravo takve razlike su doprinele stvaranju stereotipa o Jevrejima kao o veoma bogatim ljudima, koji vladaju trgovinom i kontrolišu svet kroz finansije, koji kontrolišu holivudsku filmsku industriju i svetske medije. I upravo zato je antisemitizam pojava koja se uspešno prilagođava vremenu i prostoru. U makedonskoj istoriografiji antisemitizam, kao pojava, istražuje se sporadično, najviše u nekoliko monografija koje se bave životom Jevreja u Makedoniji. Po ovom pitanju postoji izuzetno značajna zbirka video materijala u fondu Memorijalnog muzeja holokausta u Sjedinjenim američkim državama u Vašingtonu, u kojoj dominiraju svedočenja koja se odnose na strah koji je među ispitanicima postojao zbog narativa da su Jevreji koristili krv hrišćanske dece u ritualne svrhe. Ono što je prisutno u svedočanstvima uočeno je i u radu Ženi Lebl (Jenni Leble) „Plima i Slom“. U makedonskom društvu se stalno tvrdi da je ono imuno na antisemitizam, međutim, ispod površine, postojale su i još uvek postoje brojne antisemitske pojave i procesi.Anti-Semitism is a system of prejudice or hatred against Jews. It is a process that manages to be gradually modified and adapted to different forms of governance. Basically, there are three manifestations of anti-Semitism: pagan, Christian, and modern. Pagan anti-Semitism is based on the religious diversity of Jews from other nations. Christian anti-Semitism is fueled by the slander that Jews used the blood of Christian children for ritual purposes, that is, that Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. While, unlike the previous ones, modern anti-Semitism is based on racial premises, which arises as a consequence of national feelings, since Jews are a group of people, which differs from other peoples in terms of culture, language, and religion. That is, according to modern anti-Semitism, Jews are considered an inferior race because of the alleged blood characteristics in their genes. It is precisely such differences that have contributed to the creation of stereotypes of Jews as very rich people, who rule commerce and control the world through finance, who control the Hollywood film industry and the world's media. And that's exactly why anti-Semitism is a phenomenon that successfully adapts to time and space. In Macedonian historiography, anti-Semitism, as a phenomenon, is investigated sporadically, mostly in a few monographs dealing with the life of Jews in Macedonia. On this issue, there is an extremely significant collection of video material in the holdings of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, which is dominated by testimonies related to the fear that existed among the interviewees due to the narrative that Jews used the blood of Christian children for ritual purposes. What is present in the testimonies is also observed in the work of Jennie Lebl "Tide and Crash". In Macedonian society, it is constantly claimed that it is immune to anti-Semitism, however, beneath the surface, there were and still are numerous anti-Semitic phenomena and processes.Ova tema je kao magistarski rad odbranjena u martu 2022. u Institutu za nacionalnu istoriju u Skoplju (Severna Makedonija)

Relation to the past and the history of the Holocaust - Staro sajmiste
Get PDFU ovom radu bavićemo se mestom Staro sajmište, koje tokom Drugog svetskog rata dobija novu svrhu i postaje jevrejski logor, kao i time kakav je odnos društva i vlasti prema ovom mestu, koje je tokom svoje istorije postalo instrument selektivnog sećanja, a najmanje sećanja na žrtve holokausta. Rad pruža detalјan pregled knjige Jovana Bajforda "Staro sajmište, mesto sećanja, zaborava i sporenja", koja se bavi istorijom Starog sajmišta od njegovog početka pa do danas. Analizom filma Kad svane dan osvrnućemo se na priču pojedinca, čiji su roditelјi bili žrtve holokausta, i uvideti da mesto stradanja do dana današnjeg nije adekvatno obeleženo, kao i da je zainteresovanost za žrtve mala.In this paper, we will deal with the place Staro sajmište, which during the Second World War got a new purpose and became a Jewish camp. Аs well as with the relationship of society and the government towards this place, which during its history became an instrument of selective memory, and least of all the memory of the victims of the Holocaust. The paper provides a detailed review of Jovan Byford's book "Staro Sajmiste: A site remembered, forgotten, contested", which deals with the history of the Staro sajmiste from its beginning to the present day. By analyzing the film "Kad svane dan", we will look back at the story of an individual whose parents were victims of the Holocaust and see that the place of suffering has not been adequately marked to this day, as well as that there is little interest in the victims.Zbornik je rezultat istraživanja u okviru Studija Holokausta koje se pod pokrovitelјstvom Claims Conference (Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany) izvode na Univerzitetu u Kragujevcu.The collection of papers is the result of research within Holocaust Studies, which are conducted at the University of Kragujevac under the support of the Claims Conference (Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany)

U potrazi za sećanjem: Jasenovac na filmu (1946-2023)
No full textThis study, at the intersection of film and screen media studies and memory studies, has three aims: (1) to outline the history of films about Jasenovac in the former SFRY and contemporary Serbia; (2) to analyse these films as expressions of diverse forms of memory - historical, multidirectional, cosmopolitan, and traumatic; and (3) to examine how they reflect Jasenovac’s shifting place in collective memory and national discourse - from marginalisation in the SFRY to prominence during Yugoslavia’s disintegration and the rise of post-Yugoslav nation-states. In contemporary Serbia, films about Jasenovac, the Holocaust, and related events are often shaped by current political agendas, exposing the tension between ethnicisation and de-ethnicisation of memory, the construction of national identity, the rewriting of history around sacrificial narratives, and the portrayal of the national past as both pan-European and cosmopolitan.Ovaj rad, koji se nalazi na mestu gustog prožimanja moje dve istraživačke oblasti, studija filma i ekranskih medija i studija sećanja, ima trostruki cilj: (1) da sumira istoriju filmova o Jasenovcu u nekadašnjoj SFRJ i današnjoj Srbiji; (2) da prepozna filmove kao reprezentaciju različitih vrsta sećanja - istorijskog, multidirekcionog, kosmopolitskog, traumatskog; i (3) da mapira načine na koje filmovi odražavaju promenljivu poziciju Jasenovca u filmskom sećanju i nacionalnom kontekstu - od one potčinjene i redukovane u SFRJ do one naglašene u prvom planu u vremenu raspada zemlje i nastanka postjugoslovneskih nacionalnih država. U savremenoj Srbiji, filmovi o Jasenovcu, ali i o Holokaustu i zbivanjima koja su slična Holokaustu podređeni su tekućoj političkoj agendi, otkrivajući dijalektiku etnicizacije i de-etnicizacije sećanja; stvaranja nacije; preispisivanja istorije sa žrtvenim narativom u svom centru; i naglašavanja naše/nacionalne prošlosti kao panevropske i kosmopolitske
