Sažetak
This chapter sheds light on an important, yet nowadays largely forgotten, site of memory from the Croatian Homeland War. The chapter deals with the Zagreb Wall of Pain, a unique and specific site of memory among the numerous key places that define collective war memory in contemporary, post-war Croatia. The chapter analyzes the building of the original Wall of Pain, its significant place in the politics of public space, and the modes of remembrance of the Croatian Homeland War. It also deals with issues arising from the removal of the Wall of Pain and the building of a new memorial site in Zagreb’s central cemetery, Mirogoj. The article uses Pierre Nora’s concepts of memory and history in order to examine the different nature of the new and old memorial site.
