10. Remembrance Book of Holocaust Victims in Belgrade (ID: 49620)
Title (In English): Remembrance Book of Holocaust Victims in Belgrade
Description: Jewish community in Belgrade, which participated in cultural, economic and social life of the Serbian capital city, was almost completely destroyed in the Holocaust. An entire nation, including newborns and helpless old men, was condemned to be destroyed and forgotten. Although German Nazi occupiers intended to destroy all traces of the Jewish existence, information about the property of the murdered Jews was partly preserved, because it was the only thing valuable to the executors. This was the trail followed by the diligent researchers of the Historical Archives of Belgrade, where extremely important records, related to the history of Belgrade Jews, are kept. Remembrance Book contains names and basic information about 335 victims, and among them, 161 victims are not mentioned in any other historical source. Now we have in front of us members of the community condemned to complete disappearance, persons with their names, birth dates, addresses, professions, family members, dates of death. Remembrance Book represents the victory over the planned oblivion; Remembrance Book renews identities of significant number of members of Belgrade Jewish community. Due to Remembrance Book they are back in their town and in our collective memory. -- Milan Koljanin, Ph.D.
