Abstract

Summary/Abstract: Th is paper focuses in the issues regarding homosexuality in Serbia in the period of Second World War and the German occupation, how it was perceived by German occupying forces and their Serbian collaborators and what actions were taken against homosexuals in this period. Th e goal was to establish to a fair certainty what was the ideological framework of the oppressors, what was general policy towards homosexuals and whether this policy diff ered from policies in other parts of occupied Europe, but, considering the scarcity of saved sources, this was accomplished only conditionally. Also, the paper gives an account on previous research done on homosexuality and homosexuals in Yugoslavia and Serbia during the war, the legal status of homosexuals before and during the war and gives the account on available resources for further research. Th e paper is based on relevant literature and archival material.
