Holocaust, War and Transnational Memory

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the intersections of memory and trauma, the book presents a comparative analysis of Yugoslav Holocaust memory alongside the experiences of other marginalized groups during World War II and subsequent conflicts. It explores the suffering of the non-Jewish South-Slav population, victims of Stalinist terror, and those affected by ethnic cleansing in the Yugoslav wars. Utilizing diverse sources, including (post-)Yugoslav Holocaust fiction, the author introduces innovative theoretical concepts that emphasize the non-competitive nature of traumatic memory and its potential to bridge national divides.
