Summary

Ivo Goldstein: Jasenovac

Ivo Goldstein's monograph Jasenovac was created at a time when historical revisionism is in full swing. Nationalists, depending on the provenance, persist in the claim that Jasenovac was not a death camp, moreover, they resort to the fabrication that it only became an execution ground in 1945, while, on the other hand, the number of Jasenovac victims is morbidly increasing beyond measure. Many will therefore experience the book Jasenovac by Ivo Goldstein as a polemic with revisionist outbursts. She is not for two basic reasons. First, revisionism - regardless of whether it tries to deny the criminal nature of the Ustasha regime or tries to stigmatize an entire nation as criminal - is not worthy of polemic. Second, and more importantly, this is the first real scientific monograph on one of the most terrible torture and waste places of the Second World War. It is based on an abundance of archival material and written meticulously, responsibly, without ideological prejudices, ulterior motives and political motives. But scientific objectivity cannot and must not stop the moral attitude of the author, nor can - especially when it comes to the terrible Nazi-fascist attack that humanity experienced in the Second World War - stop empathy towards the victims of that attack. To that extent, Ivo Goldstein's Jasenovac is not only a phenomenology of unimaginable human suffering and stumbling, but also an example of the harmonious balance of scientific and moral imperatives.

"Ivo Goldstein remains firmly anchored in the humanistic tradition of Croatian historiography, proving that the evil of Jasenovac is not inexplicable and supernatural, but the result of conscious decisions and actions of ordinary, perhaps even banal, people classified as racist and openly criminal. political system. Although in the Jasenovac camp, the detainees and their killers were in completely opposite roles, this text does not dehumanize either of them, despite the Ustasha's systematic attempts to do this to their victims." - Goran Hutinec
