About the book:

The subject of the book "In the fight against oblivion. Attitude towards the Holocaust in socialist Yugoslavia 1945-1991" is an analysis of the social, cultural and political attitude towards the Holocaust in Yugoslavia 1945-1991 and the culture of remembrance of the suffering of Jews in the Second World War. The period of existence of socialist Yugoslavia was chosen as the chronological framework, in order to follow the process of formation of collective and individual memory of the Holocaust in the entire Yugoslav space, and the changes in the culture of memory that occurred during the entire socialist period. Thanks to such a chronological framework, Dr. Stipić successfully observed different ways of constructing the memory of the Holocaust - by the Jewish community itself, as well as by the state and social organizations, which helped him to observe the changes that were occurring in the attitude towards the Holocaust and towards the Second World War. war in different phases of the Yugoslav state.
