SUMMARY:Exiles / Izgnali so nas
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Exiles” (“Izgnali so nas”) of the Museum of National Liberation Maribor\, Slovenia\, by Irene Mavrič Žižek\, PhD\, will be opened in the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Thursday\, October 10th\, 2024\, starting at 7 p.m. \nThe Nazi occupation of Slovenian Styria in the spring of 1941 was a great disaster for Slovenians. In accordance with Hitler’s order “Make this country German again!” the occupier wanted to destroy the Slovenian nation as an ethnic entity in just five years and completely Germanize the country. \nArrests and mass deportations of the Slovenian population stand out among the most important measures. According to the guidelines for the emigration of foreign elements from Lower Styria\, issued on April 18th\, 1941 in Maribor by Heinrich Himmler\, head of the German police and state commissioner for strengthening the German nation\, nationally conscious Slovenes\, especially educated people (professors\, teachers\, priests\, etc.). \nThe first transport with exiles from the Melja barracks started on June 7th\, 1941. Because of the collapsed tunnel near Črešnjevac\, the exiles were transported by trucks to the railway station in Slovenska Bistrica. From there\, the road led them to Serbia\, to the Aranđelovac concentration camp. After June 9th\, when the tunnel at Črešnjevac was completed\, all further transports until July 26th\, 1941\, departed from the Maribor railway station. In the first wave of deportations\, which took place according to a precisely planned plan and schedule\, 12 transports left from June 7th to July 5th\, of which 11 were from Maribor and one from Reichenburg. 4\,607 people were deported to Serbia and the territory of the National Democratic Republic. Among them were 520 Maribor families with 1\,913 members. \nThe Nazis wanted to deport the majority of Slovenes to Serbia\, except for those eligible for Germanization\, but for various reasons\, from July 12th\, 1941\, they had to deport them to other countries. From June 7th to July 10\, 1941\, 6\,802 people were deported to Serbia in 17 transports. Serbian authorities distributed most of the Slovenian exiles who received special “refugee cards” to villages\, where they lived with Serbian families. Many exiles also stayed in the cities where exile colonies were founded. Locals in Serbia hospitably accepted the Slovenian exiles. They helped them as much as they could\, even though they themselves had a hard time going through life under the German occupation.

SUMMARY:Allied Bombing – 80 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Allied Bombing – 80 Years Later\, Kraljevo\, Ruins – Mass Grave” will be opened in the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Thursday\, October 17th\, 2024\, starting at 7 p.m. The authors of the exhibition are Silvija Krejaković\, museum advisоr of the Belgrade City Museum and Aleksandar Berežnov\, senior archivist of the Historical Archive Kraljevo. \nThe Allied bombing of Kraljevo and its surroundings is part of a wider military-strategic plan to stop the Second World War. In order to prevent the grouping of German forces and their movement from the Balkans to the Western Front\, the commands of the Balkan Military Air Force (BAF) directed a series of aerial bombing missions against military-strategic targets in the Balkans. During 1944\, the German army group “E” was attacked\, which was retreating from Greece through the Moravian-Vardar valley in the direction of Yugoslavia. \nAs among the primary targets of the Allied bomber missions of the 205th RAF Group (Royal Air Force) of the British Army and the 15th US Air Force (15 Air Force)\, consisting of bombers and fighters\, were military airports and railway infrastructure\, Kraljevo was targeted by air it strikes as an important railway junction with the pre-war facilities of the Wagon Factory and the Aircraft Factory\, as well as a military airport. Human losses and material destruction\, as a consequence of the failures and misjudgments of the Allied air attacks\, were therefore in the greatest number in the city’s residential districts. The railway and airport colonies\, the city hospital\, the Gymnasium building\, the buildings of the Railway Workshop and Loghouse\, the Catholic Church\, part of the city cemetery and the Farmer’s Estate were affected. The map of the destruction also included the area around the railway bridge in Western Morava\, railway lines: Kraljevo-Kragujevac (Vitanovac\, Šumarice\, Ratina)\, Kraljevo-Čačak (Grdica\, Adrani\, Samaila\, Goričani\, Zablaće) and Kraljevo-Raška (Čibukovac\, Mataruška Banja\, Polumir\, Ušće). The names of 72 victims in the Kraljevo area and the chronology of the bombing in a series of allied airstrikes from July 22nd\, on the night of 10th/11th\, have been established. August\, September 1st and 2nd\, and the last one\, September 19th\, 1944. According to data established on the basis of sources\, apart from 5 soldiers of the Serbian State Guard and the Yugoslav Army in the homeland\, 67 victims were civilians. At most\, 46 victims died in the night bombing on August 11th. Eight children under the age of 13 were among the victims. \nDocuments\, photographs\, lists of the Serbian Orthodox Church\, German military reports\, reports and aerial photographs of veterans of bombing missions preserved on the Internet testify to the extent of the suffering.

SUMMARY:Geopolitical Glossary of the Balkans
DESCRIPTION:The promotion of the book “Geopolitical Glossary of the Balkans” by Professor Milomir Stepić will be held in the Gallery of the National Museum Kraljevo\, on Thursday\, November 7th\, 2024\, starting at 6 p.m. Historian Ljubodrag P. Ristić\, PhD\, Branimir Nešić\, director of the publishing house “Catena Mundi”\, as well as the author himself\, will talk about the book. \nThe book provides a detailed insight into the geopolitics of Southeast Europe and was created after several decades of research into the geopolitics of the region and the world. It represents the most extensive and complete source of knowledge about the forces and processes shaping our peninsula and a concise and systematic dictionary that provides definitions\, explanations and context for geopolitical terms\, phenomena and events that are familiar to everyone. This scientific guide to understanding the Balkans makes it easier to understand the laws by which states come into being and disappear in this part of the world. Through a complicated network of geopolitical concepts and a clearly expressed intention to reveal their often-hidden meanings\, or colloquial interpretations\, it enables a precise insight into the complex conceptual structure that geopolitics as a synthetic science uses\, explicated on the example of the Balkans as a complex zone of geographical\, cultural\, political\, economic\, religious and geopolitical interests. \nThe book was created as a product of the scientific work of the author – a top expert in geopolitics\, whose theoretical knowledge\, social cognition and decades of scientific experience undeniably go deep into many scientific disciplines. The book presents the author’s great scientific-theoretical knowledge in scientific fields such as geography\, history\, economics\, political science\, military strategy\, defence science\, sociology\, law\, culture science\, ethnography\, communication science. That is why it is intended for experts as well as for a wider audience. As a geopolitical guide for reliable movement through the intricate “Balkan wasteland”\, the book demystifies the secrets of historical traditions and cultural-religious heritage\, thereby refuting entrenched and arbitrarily understood geopolitical stereotypes about the Balkans. \nThrough Stepić’s glossary\, the Balkans are seen as a historically created “contact zone” of “meeting civilizations”\, their confrontation and conflict\, while also pointing to the constantly present non-Balkan geopolitical vectors of influence and interests of their regional “partners”. As the author states in the preface of the book\, “The original characteristic terms\, neologisms and compounds arose not only from dynamic geopolitical processes at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries\, but also from their tendentious placement in the so-called a hybrid war that is continuously being waged primarily in the (post)Yugoslav part of the Balkans”. This geopolitical pattern has been against the national and state interests of Serbs and Serbia for at least two centuries. Coded as the “main geopolitical opponent” of the West in the wider area of the Balkans\, and especially in the (post)Yugoslav area\, the Serbs are constantly the target of their destructive actions and interests. Milomir Stepić (1959) is a Serbian geographer and geopolitician. He graduated in 1985 from the Faculty of Geography at the University of Belgrade\, and in 1997 he obtained the title of Doctor of Geographical Sciences. He worked as a professor at the Faculty of Geography at the University of Belgrade from 1986 to 2008\, and from 2008 to 2012 he was a professor at the Faculty of Geoeconomics at Megatrend University. \nHe was also an invited lecturer at the Faculty of Political Sciences of the University of Belgrade\, the Faculty of Economics of the University of Belgrade\, the Military Academy of the University of Defense in Belgrade and the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is a scientific associate of the Institute for Political Studies\, a member of the Committee for the Study of Kosovo and Metohija and the Committee for the Study of the Population of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts\, as well as a member of the Serbian Geographical Society. Since 2020\, he has been the editor of the Collection of Matica Srpska for Social Sciences\, and he is also a member of the editorial board of the scientific journals National Interest and Serbian Political Thought. He is the holder of the Order of the Star of Karađorđe\, first class. His most famous works are: “Kosovo and Metohija: A Postmodern Geopolitical Experiment”\, “Geopolitics – Ideas\, Theories\, Concepts”\, “Serbian Geopolitical Pattern”.

SUMMARY:Church of the Holy Trinity in Kraljevo
DESCRIPTION:Kraljevo has always had a special place within the Serbian state: the city is located at the very source of church and state history and is a place of long duration directly related to Žiča\, as the canter of coronations of kings\, ordination of bishops\, great councils of spiritual and secular authorities. \nIn the first half of the 19th century\, about 1\,200 inhabitants lived in the town of Karanovac\, and during the period of the Serbian Revolution (1804-1835)\, the town gradually took on the appearance of an organized and important trade and craft canter of the Principality of Serbia. The Church of the Holy Trinity\, which was built between 1822 and 1824\, as the founding temple of Prince Miloš Obrenović\, plays a significant role in this. It is dedicated to one of the most important Christian holidays\, the solemn celebration of the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles or Holy Pentecost. \nAccording to legend\, Prince Miloš fell asleep and dreamed that if he defeated the Turks\, he would build a church on that very spot\, and that’s what happened. The place where the church was built is also linked to the murder of the famous Duke of Dragačević\, Milić Radović\, on the orders of Prince Miloš\, and it is believed that his body was buried in the foundations of the church. Joakim Vujić also speaks clearly about the location and motives for building the church in his book “Travels around Serbia”\, stating that it was the site of a battle and a truce with the Turks. \nThe construction of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Karanovac began between 1822 and 1824\, and Prince Miloš contributed 7\,700 groschen for the construction. Vasilije Popović\, lord of the Požega Nahija\, informed Miloš that on July 13th\, 1823\, together with the princes\, serfs and six priests\, he laid the foundations of the temple. In the Chronicle of the church\, it is recorded that the previous log church was moved to the port in 1824 and that services were held there. The intention of Prince Miloš was that the church in Karanovac should have monumental and representative features\, which is why he appointed the best craftsman of the time\, Janko Mihailović\, known as Janja\, as the builder. This famous master\, originally from Macedonia\, also had the help of master Nikola Đorđević. The Church of the Holy Trinity in Kraljevo is a single-nave building with a semicircular altar apse and semicircular lateral fists at the base. The entrance to the church\, on the west side\, has a vestibule with a gallery and a two-story bell tower. On the fence of the gallery is written the Gospel lesson: “Speaks the eternal Truth (God)\, what you do not wish for yourself\, do not do to others.” \nThe decoration of the interior of the church was also entrusted to the best painters. Prince Miloš contributed money for the creation of the icon\, the Imperial Doors and the large cross above the iconostasis. The prince’s most valuable gift was the Gospel from Russia\, which dates back to 1804\, during the time of Emperor Alexander I. Prince Miloš also contributed two bells to the church\, while the third bell was a gift from Prince Aleksandar Karađorđević (1842-1858). The iconostasis was completed in 1827\, but it was later moved to the church of the village of Sirča\, while the Church of the Holy Trinity was decorated with a richer iconostasis by the famous painter Nikola Marković\, with his collaborators. \nThe activity of the famous bishop Joanikije Nešković\, the restorer of the Žiča Monastery\, indicates the fact that the bishop commissioned the creation of the iconostasis in the Karanovac church\, which became an episcopal church in 1859. As the seat of the Diocese of Užice was moved from Čačak to Karanovac during the time of Bishop Joanikije\, and the bishop passed away in 1873\, it is assumed that the painting of the temple began in that period. The return of the seat of the bishopric to Karanovac\, the renaming of the city to Kraljevo (1882)\, and then the renaming of the bishopric to the Diocese of Žiča in 1884\, had enormous significance for the Church of the Holy Trinity\, when the seat of the bishop of Žiča and his diocesan court was moved to Kraljevo.

SUMMARY:Presentation of the Legacy of Professor Zoran Gavrić
DESCRIPTION:Professor Zoran Gavrić (1949-2020)\, was an art historian and theoretician\, curator and director of the Museum of Contemporary Art\, art interpreter and university professor of art history and aesthetics. \nHe left behind an entire library of translations and interpretations of the most prestigious teachings of classical and contemporary art science\, as well as its affirmative application\, both in museum practice and in the academic education of artists. The book and its organon library are the first things we think of when we think of Zoran Gavrić. Hence\, the initiative of his wife Gordana and daughter Sofija\, to donate to the National Museum Kraljevo a part of the library of this excellent intellectual\, which mainly refers to contemporary art\, as a kind of legacy\, depicts his inner world in the best way and speaks about him more than the texts that he wrote dedicated. The legacy includes a total of 627 books\, of which 528 are monographs and 99 are serial publications. In addition\, 20 VHS cassettes were left\, original editions of films about important world artists\, which Professor Gavrić used in his work with students. This resource has been digitized in its entirety. \nThrough his family ties\, through his wife Gordana Gavrić\, Zoran\, born in Valjevo\, was tied to Kraljevo\, which turned out to be his last destination: he was buried in the old Kraljevo cemetery. Legacy of Zoran Gavrić bequest to the National Museum Kraljevo bequeaths to this city the preservation of the memory of an exceptional personality of our national culture\, but at the same time it actively influences researchers\, above all of contemporary art\, to continue working in the intellectual field of Professor Gavrić\, through a lively relationship and use of this resource. \nDragan Bulatović\, artist Saša Pančić and donor Gordana Gavrić will participate in the presentation.

SUMMARY:Author's Guidance Through the Exhibition “Allied Bombing – 80 Years Later”
DESCRIPTION:Author’s guidance through the exhibition “Allied Bombing – 80 Years After” will be organized on Tuesday\, November 26th\, 2024\, at 6 p.m. and on Thursday\, November 28th\, 2024\, at 6 p.m. The audience will be guided through the exhibition by Aleksandar Berežnov\, senior archivist of the Historical Archives Kraljevo. \nPerhaps unjustly neglected\, and marked by great suffering of citizens\, a special period in the history of the city is the time during the Allied bombing of Kraljevo and the surrounding area in the period July-September 1944. Hundreds of tons of bombs of great destructive power fell on the city and its surroundings on several occasions during that time\, causing great material damage and causing dozens of civilian casualties. \nAt the exhibition\, the public has the opportunity to see documents and data from the available funds and collections of the National Museum Kraljevo and the Historical Archives Kraljevo\, as well as other institutions. The suffering of citizens and the great material damage are evidenced by a small number of photographs\, the Patient Book of the Kraljevo Hospital\, reports of war damage submitted to the district commission\, reports of the Railway Workshop\, statements in court probate proceedings\, lists of those executed\, protocols of the deceased of the Serbian Orthodox Church\, as well as other documents of all warring parties\, including documents of participants in Allied air missions… \nThe most impressive part of the exhibition is made up of the preserved statements of those who survived the bombings. Their emotional memories most vividly describe the horrors they experienced\, the losses of family members\, neighbors\, fellow citizens… After the bombing\, many citizens were left without their homes\, and there were many injured people. \nNumerous questions arise\, such as: can the “collateral damage” in the form of dozens of civilian victims be justified by the liberation of the Kraljevo region two months after the last bombing\, could the bombs have been dropped more precisely\, were the targets chosen incorrectly…Kraljevo is a city that does not have a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Allied bombings\, of whom more than 70 have been identified. Apart from five uniformed individuals\, all the other victims were civilians\, and entire families also died. The city was devastated upon liberation.

SUMMARY:Two Branko’s Kozaras
DESCRIPTION:The film “Two Branko’s Kozaras” was produced by the Genocide Victims’ Museum in Belgrade and is dedicated to the tragic suffering of tens of thousands of innocent members of the Serbian people in the great Croatian-German offensive on Kozara in the summer of 1942. The film was directed by Ivica Vidanović\, the screenwriter is Božidar Knežević\, and the expert consultant is Bojan Arbutina\, curator-historian of the Genocide Victims’ Museum in Belgrade. The project was supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia and the Foundation of the Genocide Victims’ Museum in Belgrade. \nThrough the fictional story of the old man Branko\, who as a boy hid on Kozara from the enemy\, and archival footage\, the film tells the story of suffering during the pogrom of 1942. Confronting his suffering past and walking through the forests of Kozara\, the old Branko recalls his fears and suffering\, his childhood and the struggle for life in those merciless times. It is a story about a child who\, against his will\, ended up in the vortex of the most horrific crimes committed against his people in centuries of history\, and a story about the burden he grew up with and carries until his old age. \nThe film also uses authentic footage from Kozara\, which was not shown after World War II. They represent part of the “picture book”\, or the journal of the Independent State of Croatia\, the original of which is kept in Serbia. \n“Branko’s Two Kozaras” rounds off the project of the Museum of Genocide Victims\, which included an exhibition dedicated to the Battle of Kozara and the subsequent Kozara epic\, a bilingual exhibition catalogue\, as well as collections of selected documents and testimonies published in Serbian and translated into English. \nIn addition to the film screening\, a lecture entitled “Kozara 1942” will be given by Nikola Miloševski\, curator of the Genocide Victims’ Museum in Belgrade. In the spring of 1942\, partisan units fought successfully to expand the free territory\, which included several important strategic points and urban and economic centers in the Bosnian Krajina. Prijedor\, Ljubija\, Oštrelja and Bosanski Petrovac were liberated\, while vital communications to the Sava\, Vrbas and Sana valleys were constantly threatened. This was reason enough for German and Croatian military forces to launch a large-scale offensive on the strongest partisan stronghold in the Bosnian Krajina on Kozar. During the major German-Croatian offensive from July 10th to 15th\, 1942 on Kozara\, it is estimated that over 40 thousand Serbs died\, of whom about 12 thousand were children under the age of fifteen.
