Sažetak
The Roma population settled in Croatia in the second half of the 14th Century, which makes them one of the oldest minority communities in this area. From that time, they have mostly been subjected to state and local policies of assimilation and persecution, which they have attempted to resist by protecting their way of life, customs and language. During the Second World War in the pro-fascist Independent State of Croatia, a significant number of Roma were systematically murdered and tortured in concentration camps as a result of racial laws and policies that led to genocide, or Roma holocaust (Porajmos/Samudaripen). My research is going to focus at analyzing what has been contemporary practice of commemorating of Roma holocaust in the socialistic period of Croatia (1945 – 1991). It must be pose the question in which way Croatian socialistic state authorities and public have related to and commemorated the fact that Roma population had undergone massive extinction and suffering in the pronazi regime of Independent State of Croatia during the Second World War. Also, I will compare in which way is this topic of Roma suffering present in Croatian education as a part of collective memory in Croatian society. At the end, I’m going to compare commemorative practices in some other European countries. This research is based mostly on unpublished archival material from Croatian archives, museums and other institutions, periodicals as well as on an analysis of relevant literature
