| OVERVIEW OF ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION: | The museum takes into consideration all groups and individuals who were affected by the war. Interviews with witnesses include survivors from German, Croatian, Italian concentration camps; individuals expelled from their homes and sent to transit camps in Germany, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary; forced laborers; anyone who experienced Nazi, fascist and Hungarian persecution; persons who were imprisoned in Slovenia, Italy, Germany or forcibly mobilized into the German army; victims of partisan persecution; home guards; chetniks, and village guards. |
| | |
| Collect Holocaust Oral Histories: | No. |
| | |
| Interview Guidelines: | Yes. |
| | |
| Additional Information: | Interviewees were found during field research and through veteran associations. Interviews are conducted in Slovenian by historians.
Interviewers are trained. Transcriptions are done by the project group, and are checked by the interviewees. For each group of interviewees, a special list of questions is prepared.
In 2005, the National Museum of Contemporary History is at the inception of forming its collection. At this point, they have only a few interviews from the groups they want to interview. Many people do not want to be video or audiotaped. Thus, only a transcription of the conversation is made. Some interviewees write their own reports of their war stories and these are also part of the collection. |
