Abstract
Between 1941 and 1944, approximately 20,000 people perished in the Semlin concentration camp in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, the largest concentration camp in occupied Serbia and one of the first Nazi camps in Europe created specifically for the mass internment of Jews. In examining the changing representations of Sajmište over the last two decades, and the politicization of history that this has entailed, a notable streak of continuity is highlighted, namely the marginal role allocated to the Semlin camp as a place of the Holocaust as a form of “half-recognizing” it.
