Project description
Representing the Holocaust in Yugoslav cinema
The Holocaust in Yugoslavia, marked by genocide against Serbs, Jews, and Roma under the Nazi-backed Independent State of Croatia, has been explored in films depicting ethnic persecution and Jewish culture. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the HYC project will analyse 50 Yugoslav films from 1945 to 1992, examining Holocaust representations. By combining film studies, historiographical research, and archival work in Belgrade, Zagreb, and Vienna, the project will systematise these depictions and address a critical gap in European historiography. It aims to uncover the socio-political, ethnic, and cultural contexts of Shoah representation in the Balkans while exploring the rich heritage of Yugoslav cinema.
Objective
The Holocaust in Yugoslav Cinema (HYC) examines the representations of the Holocaust in 50 Yugoslav films between 1945 and 1992.
The Holocaust in Yugoslavia forms a major chapter in modern European history that saw the country partitioned and the majority
annexed to the Nazi-backed Independent State of Croatia that perpetrated a systematic genocide against Serbs, Jews, and Roma.
Memorialisation found dynamic, increasingly unexpected and altogether radical expression through films which dealt with issues of
ethnic persecution, resistance, Jewish history, faith and culture in original ways. By combining film, historiographical, and archival
analysis, and empirical fieldwork in the archives in Belgrade, Zagreb, and Vienna, the proposed Project will systematize the Holocaust
in Yugoslav cinema. In doing so, the Project fills a major gap in European historiography: HYC opens the door to understanding the
socio-political, ethnic, religious, and cultural specificities of Shoah representation in the Balkans and unlocks the heritage of a great cinematic tradition, altogether unresearched and yet one that can help us to reframe how we read visual histories of the Holocaust.
