ROMANIA Belgrade CROATS IN BACKA, SRIJEM AND BANAT (VOJVODINA) POSITION OF CROATS IN VOJVODINA REGARDING THEIR CULTURAL, POLITICAL, AND OTHER FUNDAMENTAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS Introduction As a result of the Croats in Vojvodina being deprived of their rights and the assimilatory policies which have calculatedly been implemented for over 70 years, the Croatian population has constantly been in decline. The war against Croatia and the destruction the war has caused directly reflect upon the status of Croats in Vojvodina. All too often they are insulted and taunted. They are attacked through public media, the Croatian media are blocked, they are mistreated by Serbian government authorities and rendered powerless in all areas of public life. Croatian cultural and historic monuments are being destroyed (Baa, Subotica, among others), and Croatian homes in Novi Slankamen have been blasted by machine gun fire, besides a whole line of similar occurrences. With that kind of politics, Serbia, especially after the cessation of the constitutional autonomy of Vojvodina, would like to destroy the will of the Croats to live in the areas of Barka, Banat, and Srijem, where Croats had already been living for thirteen hundred years.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: the FURTHEST

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE FURTHEST WATCH OF THE REICH: NATIONAL SOCIALISM, ETHNIC GERMANS, AND THE OCCUPATION OF THE SERBIAN BANAT, 1941-1944 Mirna Zakic, Ph.D., 2011 Directed by: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Department of History This dissertation examines the Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) of the Serbian Banat (northeastern Serbia) during World War II, with a focus on their collaboration with the invading Germans from the Third Reich, and their participation in the occupation of their home region. It focuses on the occupation period (April 1941-October 1944) so as to illuminate three major themes: the mutual perceptions held by ethnic and Reich Germans and how these shaped policy; the motivation behind ethnic German collaboration; and the events which drew ethnic Germans ever deeper into complicity with the Third Reich. The Banat ethnic Germans profited from a fortuitous meeting of diplomatic, military, ideological and economic reasons, which prompted the Third Reich to occupy their home region in April 1941. They played a leading role in the administration and policing of the Serbian Banat until October 1944, when the Red Army invaded the Banat. The ethnic Germans collaborated with the Nazi regime in many ways: they accepted its worldview as their own, supplied it with food, administrative services and eventually soldiers. They acted as enforcers and executors of its policies, which benefited them as perceived racial and ideological kin to Reich Germans. These policies did so at the expense of the multiethnic Banat‟s other residents, especially Jews and Serbs. In this, the Third Reich replicated general policy guidelines already implemented inside Germany and elsewhere in German-occupied Europe.
  • Exhibition Bread in the Great

    Exhibition Bread in the Great

    EXHIBITION – BREAD IN THE GREAT WAR Author Dimitrije Vujadinovic REPORT 2014 There is nothing in the world as human as bread. Dostoevsky INTRODUCTION Without doubt bread is one of the most significant inventions of Man. It marks a revolutionary turn in his evolution. From being a hunter-gatherer and living as a nomad, Man started working the land, building settlements and creating culture. Bread is the only type of food connecting Man with basic principles of life and the transcendental. Ritual bread follows us from birth to death, even after death. When in the ancient past our ancestors started making bread that was a result of long-lasting experience, patient work and will. As soon as they tasted it, people realized its importance to survival. Precisely because of its importance as basic food, bread has become a symbol of life, spirituality and a reflection of culture. Bread has gained its unique position in man’s life because of its peculiarity. Bread’s ingredients are the basis and symbols of a lasting life (seed, salt and water); then as food – “first course”; while the very making of dough and baking are seen as the creation of the world. In the tradition of many peoples, bread creates the balance between Man and invisible forces endangering his life, and is also used as on object with magical powers to fulfil human wishes. The former is played out through giving bread as a gift, and the latter is based on the belief that bread can transfer certain qualities onto those who come in contact with it.

GEOGRAPHY AND POPULATION HE main portion of that part of Hungary proper acquired by Yugoslavia is Tthe so-called ‘Voivodina¹—a blunt triangular. chunk of 19,221 square kilometers hacked rudely off the southern end of the great Hungarian plain in such manner as to form an eastward prolongation of Slovenia and an approach from the north to Serbia. On the west and south-west it marches with Slovenia, whence it is divided successively by the Drave to its junction with the Danube, and the Danube to its meeting with the Save. On the south the Danube separates it from Serbia. These great rivers form well-defined boundaries; but the eastern frontier with Romania, which runs north-westward from the Danube to a point just south of the Mures (Maros), and the northern, with Hungary, which runs across the Tisza and the Danube back to the Drave, are mere conventional lines drawn on a map, which only occasionally and accidentally coincide with any discernible natural feature. Natural features are, it must be admitted, hard to find outside the rivers, which dominate the landscape. Besides the frontier rivers of the Danube and the Drave, the Tisza flows through the very heart of the country to its junction with the Danube a score of miles above Belgrade. The land is simply a great flat alluvial plain drained, watered, and at times inundated by these vast and imposing streams, which are at once its benefactors and its terrors, but at all times its masters. The fields have to be protected by great dikes, drained by canals.

Sajti On 10 April 1941, four days after Germany attacked Yugoslavia and the day Croa­ tia seceded from the state, Lt Col. Nenad Krnjajic commander of the 14th Garrison Regiment stationed in the Palic area in the Vojvodina region of Serbia, noted in his regimental journal: "Windy and cloudy; sleet. It is peaceful on our sector of the line. Minor Hungarian troop movements in the border area. On the radio the news is bad everywhere... The Germans broke through at Bela Crkva and are pushing forward... Lt Col. Ruzic, commander of 13th Garrison Regiment, informed me that Lt Col. Ivovnur [a Croat - E.S.], his second-in-command, has deserted."1 The next day, on the orders of Miklós Horthy, the Regent of Hungary, units of the Hungarian Third Army and the Mobile Corps crossed the Hungarian-Yugo- slav border. The main military objective, besides re-annexing the Baóka (Bácska) region to Hungary, was to secure the rear of the German troops, advancing in the direction of Belgrade. That was done without any major engagement with the Yu­ goslav army, and within three days they had recaptured the Danube-Tisza inter­ fluve, the Bács and the southern Baranja 'Triangle', thereby closing the era of Hun­ garian territorial gains. The last sentence of Lt Col. Krnjajic's journal entry for 13 April runs: "As the best solution, I have ordered the destruction of all war material and am dispersing the unit."2 In an autobiographically inspired novel by Attila Balázs, a writer from Vojvo­ dina, István Szilágyi, Hungarian army soldier recalls the reoccupation of Baóka in the following terms: They waited until every single one had closed ranks on the top of the hill, from which a far prospect opened onto the Bácska.
