Odnos prema prošlosti i istoriji holokausta - Staro sajmište

Abstract

U ovom radu bavićemo se mestom Staro sajmište, koje tokom Drugog svetskog rata dobija novu svrhu i postaje jevrejski logor, kao i time kakav je odnos društva i vlasti prema ovom mestu, koje je tokom svoje istorije postalo instrument selektivnog sećanja, a najmanje sećanja na žrtve holokausta. Rad pruža detalјan pregled knjige Jovana Bajforda "Staro sajmište, mesto sećanja, zaborava i sporenja", koja se bavi istorijom Starog sajmišta od njegovog početka pa do danas. Analizom filma Kad svane dan osvrnućemo se na priču pojedinca, čiji su roditelјi bili žrtve holokausta, i uvideti da mesto stradanja do dana današnjeg nije adekvatno obeleženo, kao i da je zainteresovanost za žrtve mala.

In this paper, we will deal with the place Staro sajmište, which during the Second World War got a new purpose and became a Jewish camp. Аs well as with the relationship of society and the government towards this place, which during its history became an instrument of selective memory, and least of all the memory of the victims of the Holocaust. The paper provides a detailed review of Jovan Byford's book "Staro Sajmiste: A site remembered, forgotten, contested", which deals with the history of the Staro sajmiste from its beginning to the present day. By analyzing the film "Kad svane dan", we will look back at the story of an individual whose parents were victims of the Holocaust and see that the place of suffering has not been adequately marked to this day, as well as that there is little interest in the victims.
