Specijalna policija i stradanje Jevreja u okupiranom Beogradu 1941-1944

Abstract

U stradanju Jevreja u okupiranom Beogradu odgovarajući udeo imala je i domaća politička, odnosno specijalna policija, o čemu govore mnogobrojni, ranije nedostupni policijski podaci i dokumenti. Pronađeni su dragoceni spisi, koji su omogućili da se kompleksno sagleda taj problem, odnosno da se raščisti pitanje u čemu se sastojalo učešće kvislinškog policijskog aparata u proganjanju i stradanju Jevreja 1941-1944. godine.

As soon the persecution and elimination of Jews in occupied Serbia, Belgrade in particular, war organized and carried out by the German occupying authorities, something that has been profusely written about. However, very little has been said about the role of the traitorous authorities, above all the police, in the implementation of the repressive measures against the Jews, in which the Special Police played a crucial role. Historians and other researchers, who have been denied access to the archived material (more than 15,000 dossiers) of the Special Police for too long, got the opportunity to examine the authentic police sources only after this material was made available to the public. The revelation of new, genuine data served as a basis for analyzing and establishing all types of activities of the local political police against the "Serbian" Jews. All this led to answers, in this text, to important questions, such as: what were the tasks that the occupying authority assigned to the Special Police; what repressive measures did they apply; were their activities within the scope of the usual responsibilities of the local police force in other occupied countries in Europe; did the Special Police take part in the physical elimination of Jews, as did the Ustashi police in the Independent State of Croatia (they were the actual executioners); who from the police ranks was responsible for the misdeeds committed during the prosecution of the Jewish population.
