Following upon the research of Croatian linguists (R. Katičić) and cultural anthropologists (V. Belaj) the authors propose several sites, and structured associations thereof, which, in their opinion, played an important role as the foundations to the cultural landscape of Zagreb and the Zagreb Prigorje area, as we can at least partly reconstruct it today. These sites, located along the line St. Jakob-Medvedgrad-St.Marko, within the Remete »hoof,« along the line the Rog-the Stari Kip-Gradec (Zagreb), and those linked to St. Barbara are just initial examples of what might be achieved by a systematic continuous research. The paper also discusses methodology involved in studying cultural landscape, its signifi cance for the history of the visual arts, and the importance for contemporary interventions in our environment.

    JEWISH CITIZENS OF SOCIALIST YUGOSLAVIA: POLITICS OF JEWISH IDENTITY IN A SOCIALIST STATE, 1944-1974 by Emil Kerenji A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Todd M. Endelman, Co-Chair Professor John V. Fine, Jr., Co-Chair Professor Zvi Y. Gitelman Professor Geoffrey H. Eley Associate Professor Brian A. Porter-Szűcs © Emil Kerenji 2008 Acknowledgments I would like to thank all those who supported me in a number of different and creative ways in the long and uncertain process of researching and writing a doctoral dissertation. First of all, I would like to thank John Fine and Todd Endelman, because of whom I came to Michigan in the first place. I thank them for their guidance and friendship. Geoff Eley, Zvi Gitelman, and Brian Porter have challenged me, each in their own ways, to push my thinking in different directions. My intellectual and academic development is equally indebted to my fellow Ph.D. students and friends I made during my life in Ann Arbor.

Doing research in the Balkans is sometimes a challenge, and many people helped me navigate the process creatively. At the Jewish Historical Museum in Belgrade, I would like to thank Milica Mihailović, Vojislava Radovanović, and Branka Džidić.

  • EN-Zagreb-2307.Pdf
    A Welcome to Zagreb As you set out to take a tour round Zagreb, determined to see its highlights, you’ll find that you’ll end up rather enjoying it. Sitting at one of its Viennese- style cafés, strolling leisurely around its streets and promenading through its parks, it’s like you’re starting out on a love affair with this city and its people. And pretty soon you’ll know that this is love in its early stage, the kind that only grows stronger in time. The cosmopolitan buzz of Zagreb will soon strike you. Everything is accessible on foot – from your hotel to the theatre, wandering around the old Upper Town or through the bustling streets of the more modern Lower Town, which has not lost an ounce of its charm despite the eternal march of time. Venture out and let the moment take hold. There is something special about the rustle of leaves as you stroll through the autumn colours of downtown Zrinjevac Park. There is magic in the reflections of the gas lanterns in the Upper Town, as the songs of the street performers evoke their own emotions with their distinctive sound. As night falls, everything becomes soft and subdued; the twinkle of candles in the cathedral and at the mystical Stone Gate; the cafés beckoning you in the twilight with their warm hues. Zagreb is special. It is a long-running tale that allows you room to write your own chapters with your own impressions, something for you to add to the story. Quite simply, Zagreb has a soul.

Prihvaćeno: 7. 11. 2019. DOI: 10.17234/RadoviZHP.51.14 Hebrew Headstone Inscriptions at Zagreb’s Mirogoj Cemetery Since the opening of a central Zagreb cemetery at Mirogoj in 1876, one of its four sections was set aside for Israelite (Jewish) community. Some of the graves in this section, 52 of them, bear inscriptions in Hebrew. The nature of the inscriptions vary, from mere mention of the first and last names, kinship, date of death and age to short poetic texts that sometimes incorporate first names as acrostics. This paper deals with the diachronic incidence of inscriptions, with an analysis of first names appearing on the inscriptions, and an analysis of the surnames mentioned. Some discrepancies between the existing data are highlighted and texts that mention no name in particular are quoted.

  • Old Men and Their Grandchildren
    DUBRAVKA UGREŠIC´ Old Men and Their Grandchildren Translated from Croatian by Celia Hawkesworth one hundred and one old men ver the weekend of July 19th and 20th, 2008, the town of Key OWest in Florida played host to 141 Ernest Hemingways. Heming- ways from all over America gathered in Key West in a competition for the greatest degree of physical resemblance to the famous writer. This year the winner was Tom Grizzard, in what is said to have been a very stiff compe- tition. The photograph that went round the world shows a collection of merry granddads, looking like Father Christmases who have escaped from their winter duties — in other words, like Ernest Hemingway. The old men, who meet every year in Key West on Hemingway’s birthday, also took part in fishing and short story writing competitions. another old man . The following day, newspapers in Croatia carried a photograph of an old man who has no connection at all with the 141 old men from the previous article. In Croatia on July 21st, 2008, Dinko Šakic´ died, at the age of eighty-six. Who was Dinko Šakic´? Šakic´ was the commandant of the Ustasha concentration camp of Jasenovac, where Jews, Serbs, Gyp- sies, and communist-oriented Croats were efficiently executed. After the war he managed to escape to Argentina, and it was not until 1999 that the Argentinian authorities handed him over to Croatia, where he was sentenced to twenty years in prison. At that “historic” moment, many Croats saw the sentence of Dinko Šakic´ as an injustice — for them, that same Independent State of Croatia (in which Dinko Šakic´ had killed Jews, Gypsies, Serbs, and unsuitable Croats) was “the foundation of our present Croatian homeland,” as the local priest, Vjekoslav Lasic´, put it on the occasion of Šakic´’s death.

The Congress and the President were prompted to establish the Commission because of the special problem faced by Jewish sites in the region: The communities that had once cared for the properties were annihilated during the Holocaust. The atheistic Communist Party dictatorships that succeeded the Nazis throughout most of the region were insensitive to American Jewish concerns about the preservation of the sites.

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 188 ( 2015 ) 186 – 192 Heritage as an alternative driver for sustainable development and economic recovery in South East Europe Interpretation at special places: Mirogoj Cemetery Darko Babiüa, Mihaela Bingulaa,* aFaculty of Humanities and Social Sciences - University of Zagreb, Ivana Luþiüa 3, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia Abstract Cemeteries are one of the most important examples of open-air museums as their headstones, sculptures and architecture reflect social, cultural and historical development of cities. The best known Croatian cemetery is Mirogoj, located in Zagreb. It represents an important part of Zagreb's cultural attractions, regarded as one of the most visited tourist destination. In addition to extremely valuable architecture and monuments it is interesting because many significant people have its final resting place there. However, although well-known and visited place heritage interpretation is non-existing. Thus we, students, dedicated our project to this subject, suggesting themed tours and virtual interpretation centre that would ensure a better understanding and proper presentation to tourists and to the local community. Since cemeteries include rather delicate stories any intervention or interpretation must be carefully planned, balancing respect but provoking interest and curiosity. © 2015 The© Authors. 2014 The Published Authors. by ElsevierPublished Ltd. by This Elsevier is an openLtd. accessSelection article and under peer-review the CC BY-NC-ND under responsibility license of Institute of National (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).
