Sažetak
The year 1941, and specifically the founding of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), was an important historical break-point for Croatia in the traumatic twentieth century. This moment was not only embedded in the collective memory of Croatia's citizens, both those for and against NDH, but would be commemorated and ritualized for political purposes up to the present day. In the 1990s, remembering and commemorating April 10 was an explicit effort by certain political groups to reaffirm and rehabilitate the Ustasha movement as a legitimate political model for modern Croatia, as well as to publicly challenge the rule of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). Even though the commemoration of April 10 never became official, the fact that this date was publicly remembered even by marginal political groups shows how Croatian collective memory of World War Two remains divided between the antifascist (Partisan) and the Ustasha past. This article examines how the anniversary of NDH founding was used as a political ritual in post-communist Croatia, and addresses the broader issue of how the polemics of World War Two were revived during the Homeland War.
