Abstract

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses last several years of socialist Yugoslavia, the period from 1988 to 1991, as a tipping period when started formation of one new social-political context that will also cause breakout of the country, and within which the Holocaust became liable to some new ways of explanation. In order to present different standpoints that existed in multinational Yugoslav society, the article is based on two key issues – increase of anti-Semitism and attempts to revitalize the Holocaust among Croatian political elite, while the second one was founding and activity of Društvo srpsko-jevrejskog prijateljstva (The Serbian-Jewish friendship society) as a symbol of attempts by Serbian intellectual elite to, through building of memory on the Holocaust based on the narrative of joint ordeal of Serbs and Jews, promote their image of current situation in the country.
