It's my pleasure! When travelling through the ex-Yugoslavia, in my case in Slovenia, you can see old, neglectec, comunist era, monuments on some places.

...more precise - it is from set of 6 values, 1974 year, and Scott catalog # 1174-1179 with nice catalog value of 11.40 US$ per set of six, in mnh condition. And yes, many of monuments go unguarded, neglected, even broken down... but, as I know, last few years, Serbia, Republika Srpska too, start to make some improvement in this matter.  |

The images on these Serbian stamps evoked memories of stories told by my father-in-law. In the 1940s as a child in Serbia he saw his father taken away to be shot and then the rest of the family were placed in a camp behind barbed wire. His mother died in the camp, but his sister survived and ended up in a Russian work camp for 5 years. He was eventually smuggled out through Austria to arrive in Halifax, Canada when he was about 11 or 12. They were not in Jasenovac, the camp mentioned on this issue, they were in a camp closer to the Hungarian border. His people were part of an ethnic cleansing by Yugoslavia to remove the Donau Swabian from Serbia. Wikipedia states;
“ Toward the end of the Second World War, tens of thousands of Danube Swabians fled west ahead of the advancing Soviet army. After the war, the remaining Danube Swabians were disenfranchised, their property seized, and many were deported to labor camps in the Soviet Union. Hungary expelled half of its ethnic Germans.[7] In Yugoslavia, the local "ethnic Germans" were collectively blamed for the actions of Nazi Germany and branded as war criminals. Immediately after the end of the war, partisan troops conducted mass executions of numerous Yugoslav Danube Swabians. Survivors were later confined to labor and internment camps by the Yugoslavian authorities.[8] Following the dissolution of the camps, the majority of the remaining Yugoslav Danube Swabians left the country, seeking refuge in Germany, other parts of Europe, the United States, and Canada”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube_SwabiansWe don’t often hear about the innocent German ethnics who took the blame for Nazi atrocities. |

Thank you, philatelia, for the very moving reflection sparked by these haunting Serbian stamps. And for the reminder that no "one group" of humanity is completely misguided or prototypical. Bart |

Yugoslavia 1974 Memorial Sculptures The 1978 (Litho) 5 Dinar can be identified by a space left in the "PTT" as shown (So Mr Tony Vella's postage stamp is the 1978 Litho Issue Sc#1176a )  |

...when we talk about Jasenovac and killing that happened there, and remembered by this monuments to mark and remember what "modern" countries made to the people of Yugoslavia, there are a lot of postage stamps issued to remember it. Some people know situation just from talking of own family members ("...this people were part of an ethnic cleansing by Yugoslavia to remove the Donau Swabian from Serbia..."), which will be (mostly) wrongly explained or presented. German nationality citizens of Yugoslavia, was instructed to left Yugoslavia, after II WW War, (whole Yugoslavia, not only Serbia), just because most of them was part of Hitler Jugen movement, or, closely collaborated with Third Reich Occupation forces, so, reaction from Gov't of Yugoslavia was to send people back to "mother" country (Germany), and yes, it was made in wrong way (confiscating all property). I will show here, another one stamp with Jasenovac monument, it is from same (as previous sample) Republika Srpska (Bosnia) but from 2015 year.  |

I will show here, another one stamp with Jasenovac monument, it is from same (as previous sample) Republika Srpska (Bosnia) but from 2015 year. Actually that’s not quite true. The ethnic German people in my father-in-law’s town were long time residents of the region, they were not “German nationality”, they were from various regions mostly Austrian-Hungarian German speakers. Many of them were granted land by the Austrian crown as a reward for service in the 17th and 18th century. They had been farming those lands for a very long time. I met many of the people from their hometown, Gakova, and they all told the same story with very little variation. When the region was occupied by the third Reich they were forced into military service or into various groups - they had no choice. In any case while my initial comment was meant to put a human face on the subject of a stamp issue, this discussion is veering heavily into a political discussion which is not allowed by forum rules. So maybe we should end this here. |
