Sažetak
Bearing in mind main challenges of Europe´s contested, conflicted and divided heritage of war, this paper builds upon two case studies which are clearly reflecting memory and identity wars in Southeastern Europe. Therefore, two main sites are taken into account: Jasenovac Concentration Camp – being the biggest Holocaust and mass atrocity camp in Southeastern Europe during WWII (1941-1945), and Bleiburg killing field (1945) - being the most representative site of Communist crimes that took place immediately after the WWII at the territory of former Yugoslavia. In order to address the fundamental challenges of ˝Europe´s divided memory˝ (Assmann, 2013), the paper investigates competing memory representations and narratives embedded within contemporary Croatia (and former Yugoslavia) war heritage. It departs from the necessity to understand violent legacies of the conflicted past interplay of Nazi ustasha regime and Communist regime in nowadays Croatia, which also has a crucial influence on the construction of Croatian national identity. The special focus will be given to the role of archeological findings as well as archeological possibilities that can contribute to better understanding of Croatian traumatic heritage, which has massively been misused in memory and identity politics in Croatia and in neighboring countries. Namely, the special emphasis will be placed on the role of materiality, or the role that archeologists and material culture could play in enhancing knowledge concerning the former Croatian Nazi and Communist conflicted heritage.
