Historiography of Holocaust in Yugoslavia<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 His Excellency Bishop Jovan (\u0106ulibrk) of Slavonia held a lecture on \u2018Historiography of Holocaust in Yugoslavia\u2019 within the seven-day manifestation \u2018Freezing Silence Speaks\u2019 organised by the Cultural Centre of Novi Sad.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Introduction was given by the director of Cultural Centre of Novi Sad, Dr Andrej Fajgelj, who said that this institution organises commemoration of Novi Sad Raid for the second time, and that apart from cultural, in this period it also becomes documentation and educational centre.<\/p>\n

\u2013 This year we expanded commemoration of Novi Sad Raid, so the focus was not just on Novi Sad. We tried to commemorate victims that had suffered on the entire territory of Ba\u010dka, but also Europe. It is good to compare the Raid and genocide that Serbs survived during the World War II with the Holocaust that Jewish people had to endure \u2013 said Fajgelj.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 In his lecture, His Excellence Bishop Jovan of Slavonia grouped the creation of historical sources in several periods: period after the end of war until 1948, period that ends with Tito\u2019s death and period that ended with breakup of Yugoslavia. He explained that much was known about the Holocaust in Yugoslavia, but in a specific way \u2013 the Holocaust was not a taboo and it had a taboo approach. Namely, although the Holocaust was a topic in various art forms and media places (film, novel, television, radio) it was not systematically and professionally researched. His Excellency said that he wrote his Master thesis on this topic because global and scientific community lacked insight in what was written about the Holocaust on the territory of ex-Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We can say that our science is within the borders of a developed science on the Holocaust and it contributes to the cause in an important way. It returns the science on the Holocaust within the frame of the World War II because it never took it out from that frame \u2013 said Bishop Jovan of Slavonia. After the lecture of His Excellence, the visitors had a chance to ask questions related to the Holocaust, which showed how much citizens of Novi Sad are interested in details of this period in human history.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Bishop Jovan pointed out to connection between certain historical-political circumstances and the manner Holocaust was presented to the public, pointing out the specificities and inconsistencies of Vladimir Dedijer\u2019s methodology and his subsequent influence on individuals who dealt with this matter during the 1980s and 1990s.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Tireless work on topics related to pogrom of Jews and Serbs during the World War II as well as great number of written papers place Bishop Jovan of Slavonia in the highest circle of internationally recognised experts from the Republic of Serbia and region.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Although it is practically impossible to sum up the biography of His Excellence, it is enough to say that Bishop Jovan attended his Master studies in Jewish culture at the research and memorial centre \u2018Yad Vashem\u2019 and at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He presented his Master thesis with Dr David Bankier, Head of the International Institute for Holocaust Research in Yad Vashem; the thesis was published in 2011 in Serbian as the Historiography of the Holocaust in Yugoslavia. Currently, he prepares his PhD thesis in the same field with Dr Yoav Gelber. Apart from that, Bishop Jovan is a coordinator of the Board for Jasenovac of the Orthodox Church of Serbia and president of the Management Board of the Museum of Genocide Victims in Belgrade, the only institution on the territory of ex-Yugoslavia that exclusively deals with above mentioned topics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
