Sažetak
This paper understands the disappearance, erasure, neglect and rewriting of Jewish identity from modern Croatian cultural, urban, and architectural historical narratives, as a symptom of lost or false collective memory. It offers a discussion of how Jewish identity contributed to the modern architectural discourse of the interwar period. It focuses on transfers of architectural culture, its actors and vehicles, institutional frameworks involved in transmitting influence, educational models, as well as alternative forms of medialization, such as architectural competitions, exhibitions, and journals. The description presents an opportunity to analyse the multilayered roles of Jewish architects in constructing modern architectural discourse, and their formative impact on multiculturalism in the Central European cultural context to which Croatia belonged. Contemporary political circumstances prompt us not only to redraw the continuities within modernism but also challenge us to revisit a history that has yet to be included within a ‘common tradition’ of architectural history.
