- This monograph investigates how atrocity photographs shaped public memory of the Second World War in former Yugoslavia. It is based on five years of sustained and laborious research involving the analysis of primary evidence from archives, museum and libraries in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Photographic collections could not be copied, requiring repeat visits. Many sources had rarely been used before and were unsorted or uncatalogued (e.g. Jasenovac Memorial Museum and the Archive of Bosnia Herzegovina). This complex project covers a timespan of over 70 years and analyses a wide range of media including public exhibitions, documentaries, books, and the press.
