Like Salt for Bread. The Jews of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Author(s): Friedman, Francine
Date: 2021
Topics: Jewish Community, Main Topic: Identity and Community, Sephardi Jews, Conflict, Conflict Resolution
Abstract: This book is the only comprehensive treatment in any language of a rather “exotic” Balkan Jewish community. It places the Jewish community of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the context of the Jewish world, but also of the world within which it existed for around five hundred years under various empires and regimes. The Bosnian Jews might have remained a mostly unknown community to the rest of the world had it not played a unique role within the Bosnian Wars of the early 1990s, providing humanitarian aid to its neighbor Serbs, Croats, and Muslims.
Thrice Plundered: The Politics of Restitution with Regard to the Jews of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Author(s): Friedman, Francine
Editor(s): Ognjenovic, Gorana; Jozelic, Jasna
Date: 2021
Topics: Holocaust, Main Topic: Other, Memory, Restitution and Reparations, Communism
Abstract: The chapter deals specifically with a political attempt at history’s erasure. As detailed throughout the anthology, the manipulation and often willful misinterpretation of history in order to benefit one group while belittling the suffering of another group by changing the record of, or even denying, their experience has led to distrust among the groups involved, no less today than previously. The appropriation of private and communal property of a powerless or minority group by a country’s dominant group through manipulation of the historical record, treated here through a case study of the theft over many decades of the Bosnian Jewish community’s property, is, thus, a clear example of the politicization of history.
