Dušica Bojić: The historical museum needs space repair, not relocation

The historical museum would be more suited to repair the existing space than to move to the Railway Station building. Director Dušica Bojić says that the problem would be solved in less than a year and for less than 25 million dinars. It is not excluded that such a solution would also suit Belgrade on the Water, which is the owner of the plot on which the Railway Station building is located, but not of the building itself.

Museums we don't have

There are three exhibitions on three floors of the Museum of Contemporary Art, but not a museum display. And the examples of other large museums lead to the conclusion that Belgrade has museums, but in fact there are none

Draga is to blame for everything

Current exhibition of the Historical Museum Waiting for permanent setup indicates that this institution has neither its own building nor a permanent exhibition and reminds of the actors of the local historical scene whose influence, although not directly, was important for the events in the state of their time

Culture of Remembrance - One performance, one exhibition and one show about the Holocaust

My cry from a child's mouth

I feel an obligation to speak about the Holocaust. Increasingly, the fewer of us alive who can bear witness to that Time of Evil. At the same time, what I had to say seemed more and more meaningless to me, it seemed to me that few people wanted to hear, wanted a future that remembered my terrible times. Especially in Serbia, in Belgrade, which were so thoroughly cleansed of Jews. And then the students of the Third Belgrade Gymnasium shouted on the stage of the Bitef Theater. That cry of girls and boys seventy years younger than me was my roar, my protest that the world is the way it is, my cry for my parents, a cry for all my dead, which I was never capable of
