Sažetak
Taking the disappearance, erasure, neglect, and rewriting of Jewish identity from the narrative of modern and contemporary Croatian cultural history as a symptom of lost or false collective memory, the article aims to offer a new interpretation of modern architecture as designed by Jewish architects. 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 medialisation, such as architectural competitions, exhibitions and journals. The argument presents the 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 architecture history
