Interview project: Croatian Memories (CroMe) - Unveiling personal memories on war and detention
Croatian Memories (CroMe) - Unveiling personal memories on war and detention.
In this project citizens of Croatia from all social layers and regions are interviewed about their personal experiences in violent situations. The project is covering three timeframes: WWII, the Yugoslav period and the war of the 90s. The overall objective is the stimulation and empowerment of the social and individual processes of "dealing with the past" in order to improve mutual understanding in Croatia and adjacent regions.
By creating a platform where general public as well as professionals can find information about remembrance of the past told by individuals in a balanced representation of the people currently living in Croatia, this process can take place in the next years or decades.
The interviews are held in Croatian. A transcription in Croatian, and a translation in English is added to the audiovisual file.
The interviews are for scholarly use only. Parts of the interviews can be found on the Croatian Memories website, these are freely accessible.
