We would also like to draw your attention to a recently published book review:
Mladenka Ivanković
In 1937 a national exhibition site opened in Belgrade. Originally intended to represent indigenous advancements, in 1941 it became a Nazi concentration camp called Sajmište and its main use became the extermination of Jewish women, children, and elderly. This was not recognized until the 1980s; until then the climate was one of socialism. During the nationalist era, history was propagandized by the state to suit its own purposes, and truth was concealed. This cleansing of the real history, however, was subsequently obscured to the extent that the area of the camp and its "hospital" was transformed into a nightclub. The commemoration of the truth about the former camp requires the intervention of the political and financial elites.
