  • 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.
