Abstract

At the beginning of the work, the author gives a brief overview of the selection of literature and a few introductory notes on what the culture of rememberance is and what the places of remembrance are. Then, on the basis of published literature, newspaper articles and her own research, she writes about the monuments that were erected in Croatia as places of remembrance for "fallen warriors", "combatants", "soldiers", "defenders" who died in wars in the 20th century (World War I, World War II and the Homeland War). The author analyses the place of remembrance and the culture of remembrance through selected examples of war monuments that were created as a memory of fallen warriors and victims of the First World War, the Second World War and the Homeland War.
