Writing Jewishness
The sorrowful past is already fading,The centuries-old dream is already passing,And we, women from the black night,Step into a new day.[...]Magda Bošković,Women’s Battle Song(1937) (Starc-Jančić 1969
Granice Samudaripenu. Reprezentacje Zagłady Romów w literaturze chorwackiej i serbskiej
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza mało znanych literackich reprezentacji romskiej Zagłady w kulturze chorwackiej i serbskiej (zarówno w dokumentach osobistych, jak i w literaturze fikcjonalnej). Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika, że wzmianki o Samudaripenie w chorwackich tekstach autobiograficznych pojawiają się epizodycznie, zwykle na marginesie innych opowieści, Niezwykle rzadko pojawiają się również w chorwackiej literaturze fikcjonalnej.…

La culture mémorielle de l’Europe de l’Est a subi une transformation radicale après l’effondrement du communisme, du fait de l’« américanisation » de la Shoah, c’est-à-dire, pour reprendre les termes de Winfried Fluck, spécialiste de la culture allemande, un processus de démocratisation consistant à éradiquer toute complexité afin de rendre accessibles à un vaste public des événements complexes. De nouveaux musées ont été créés pour réécrire l’hi…
From Golokaust to Happylogue
This article examines the case of Ženi Lebl (1927–2009), a Yugoslav Jew, communist activist, Holocaust survivor, and prisoner of the Goli Otok camp for political opponents of the Yugoslav Communist regime; Lebl emigrated to Israel in 1954. Her writings (including scholarly texts, ego-documents, poems, and letters) and cultural activities allow us to reconstruct the process by which Lebl’s identity evolved over time. The research questions are: 1)…
Porajmos in the 21st-century Croatian Culture of Memory
This article examines remembrance of the genocide of the Roma (Porajmos) during World War II. We explore how memory of the Porajmos enters public discourse in the former Yugoslavia, with a focus on Croatia. Our primary aim is to introduce the concepts of rescue history as proposed by Ewa Domańska – a humanistic approach to interpreting history (Domańska 2014, 12–26). Utilizing Domańska’s framework, we analyze Nebojša Lujanović’s novel, Oblak boje…
‘ … Everything Creaks, Because of Water … ’
The Jasenovac concentration camp (1941-1945) holds a special place on the post-Yugoslav Holocaust map. The aim of the article is to analyze (1) the role of natural conditions in influencing the selection and ongoing operation of the camp; (2) how the authorities managed the post-camp landscape after the war, as well as the current presence of nature at the memorial site; and (3) how the relationship between people and nature is depicted in the Cr…
Heritage Without Heirs
This article focuses on the first historical museum in Serbia, established in Sombor in 2019 (the Museum of the Danube Swabians), with an exhibition devoted to the presence of Germans in Vojvodina. The artefacts presented at the exhibition, left behind by the Germans who used to live in Vojvodina, have been recognised as part of Serbia’s difficult heritage (the term coined by Sharon Macdonald). The article analyses the permanent exhibition and th…

A non-existent cemetery
This article demonstrates the post-World War II conflict of memory in Serbia, as manifested in the transformation of urban space in the post-war decades. The authors focus foremost on Zemun, a district of Belgrade which, between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, was home to a significant German population. The term ‘memoryscape’ (Sławomir Kapralski) is used to discuss changes in the urban fabric. Post-war manipulations of space, bas…

GENDER OF EMIGRATION. BALKAN JEWISH WOMEN AS MEDIATORS OF KNOWLEDGE Female narrative connected with transfer of knowledge can be an interesting key if applied to interpreting the legacy of Judaism in the multi-level context of Balkan cultures. Originating in the traditional Balkan Jewish communities, the transfer of knowledge (tradition) has been carried out in various centres and at different times, mediated mainly by Jewish women of various ori…
“Running into Madness to Stay Sane”
The text concerns the camp for political prisoners established in 1949 in Yugoslavia on Goli Otok island. This theme was almost entirely absent from public discourse before the 1980s, and real changes and developments in discussions about this part of the history of postwar Yugoslavia occurred only after Tito’s death. Goli Otok as the largest and most infamous camp in communist Yugoslavia is considered a symbol, its name recognized as a synonym o…
