Panelisti i predavanja:
Aneta Vladimirov, Srpsko narodno vijeće | Politike sjećanja manjina kroz tri primjera – studije za većinu
Miljenko Hajdarović, srednjoškolski profesor i autor udžbenika | Percepcija žrtava u hrvatskim srednjoškolskim udžbenicima
Milan Radanović, Srpski arhiv u Hrvatskoj | Utvrđivanje i evidentiranje identiteta žrtava Drugog svjetskog rata (Žrtve fašizma i genocida na teritoriju Hrvatske)
Modul II
- Aneta Vladimirov, Srpsko narodno vijeće | Politike sjećanja manjina kroz tri primjera – studije za većinu
Vladimirov je govorila na koji se način srpska nacionalna manjina i srodne organizacije odnose i na koji način sprovode aktivnosti povezane s antifašističkim nasljeđem u Hrvatskoj, kao i poziciji u kojoj se manjina našla nakon rata 1990-ih. Najviše se fokusirala na uništenje spomeničke baštine na području Hrvatske, kao i na napore Srpskog Narodnog Vijeća i srodnih antifašističkih organizacija te drugih organizacija što se bave zaštitom ljudskih prava i civilnog društva da se spomenici obnove, što zbog njihove sentimentalne, a što zbog umjetničke vrijednosti. Govorila je i na koji način se obnova tih spomenika percipira u hrvatskom društvu 21. stoljeća.
- Miljenko Hajdarović, srednjoškolski profesor i autor udžbenika | Percepcija žrtava u hrvatskim srednjoškolskim udžbenicima
Profesor je govorio na koji način se prikazuju brojevi, ali i pojedinačni slučajevi žrtava u hrvatskom i srpskom društvu, na primjeru tri srednjoškolska udžbenika iz povijesti iz svake zemlje. Naglasio je kako se i način na koji se žrtve prikazuju u udžbenicima jako mijenjao od završetka Drugog svjetskog rata, preko 1990-ih pa sve do današnjeg dana te je zaključio kako mnoge publikacije relativiziraju otprije poznate povijesne činjenice, a umanjuju kontekst neke druge strane. Posebno je istaknuo kako je u većini udžbenika status „žrtve“ sveden na suhoparne brojke, dok se umanjuje vrijednost čovjeka koji je stradao kao individualce.
- Milan Radanović, Srpski arhiv u Hrvatskoj | Utvrđivanje i evidentiranje identiteta žrtava Drugog svjetskog rata (Žrtve fašizma i genocida na teritoriju Hrvatske)
Predavač je govorio na koje sve načine je moguće koristiti dostupne informacije i literaturu u svrhu istraživačkog rada po pitanju pronalazaka i identificiranja žrtava, s posebnim naglaskom na Drugi svjetski rat. Radanović je napomenuo kako je moderna tehnologija i otvaranje arhiva, odnosno klasificiranih podataka uvelike omogućilo i olakšalo istraživački posao, ali da i dalje mnoge informacije nisu pouzdane, pogotovo jer se u starijoj literaturi za iste događaje ponekad bilježe dva potpuno suprotna mišljenja i zapisa o istim događajima. Ali naveo je kako je manjina u Hrvatskoj u dobrom položaju što se tiče istraživačkog rada te je pozvao sve mlade povjesničare da se služe dostupnim materijalima u tu svrhu.

The Second Module of the School of Democracy Held in Croatia
The second module of the School of Democracy was held at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb (FFZG) as part of the EU project “The Role and Position of the Victim.” The theme of the second module was “Perception of Victims in Croatian Society: Monuments, Textbooks and Methodologies.” The school took place on November 27, 2024, with the following program:
Panelists and Lectures
- Aneta Vladimirov, Serbian National Council | Memory Politics of Minorities Through Three Examples – Case Studies for the Majority
- Miljenko Hajdarović, secondary school teacher and textbook author | Perception of Victims in Croatian Secondary School Textbooks
- Milan Radanović, Serbian Archive in Croatia | Identifying and Recording the Identities of Second World War Victims (Victims of Fascism and Genocide in the Territory of Croatia)
Module II
Aneta Vladimirov – Memory Politics of Minorities Through Three Examples – Case Studies for the Majority
Vladimirov spoke about how the Serbian national minority and related organizations approach and carry out activities connected with the antifascist legacy in Croatia, as well as about the position in which the minority found itself after the wars of the 1990s.
She focused particularly on the destruction of memorial heritage in Croatia, as well as the efforts of the Serbian National Council, antifascist associations, and other human rights and civil society organizations to restore these monuments. The restoration is pursued both because of their sentimental importance and their artistic value. She also discussed how the restoration of such monuments is perceived in Croatian society in the 21st century.
Miljenko Hajdarović – Perception of Victims in Croatian Secondary School Textbooks
Hajdarović explained how both statistical data and individual cases of victims are presented in Croatian and Serbian societies, using three history textbooks from each country as examples.
He emphasized that the way victims are portrayed in textbooks has changed significantly—from the period following the Second World War, through the 1990s, and up to the present day. He concluded that many publications relativize previously established historical facts while reducing the context of the opposing side.
He particularly stressed that in most textbooks the status of the “victim” is reduced to dry numbers, while the value of the person who suffered as an individual human being is often diminished.
Milan Radanović – Identifying and Recording the Identities of Second World War Victims
Radanović spoke about the different ways in which available sources and literature can be used in research aimed at finding and identifying victims, with special emphasis on the Second World War.
He pointed out that modern technology and the opening of archives, including previously classified documents, have significantly facilitated research work. However, many pieces of information are still unreliable, especially because older literature sometimes records two completely opposing interpretations of the same events.
He added that minority researchers in Croatia are in a relatively good position when it comes to conducting such research and encouraged young historians to make use of the available materials for further study.
