SOCIAL LIFE IN SISAK DURING WWII

Sažetak
Social life in Sisak during WWII (April, 1941- May, 1945) had not stopped, but had adjusted to the new circumstances. War and change of authorities had imposed new criteria and priorities. With the destruction of the largest part of archival materials after the war, the most important source of information was the weekly "Hrvatske novine", which had been published from 1925 to 1945. At the beginning of the WWII Sisak had a little less than fifteen thousand inhabitants and was a strong economical and craftsmanship center, what had affected the development ofthe social life. During the wartime years numerous sport and musical events, movie projections, performances and ceremonies, lectures and other similar activities had been taking place. This was supposed to serve as a proof far the normal functioning of the city. However life was not developing in a completely normal manner, but was restricted to wartime circumstances (lights being turned off, curfew, bombarding ... ) and the actions by the new authorities. Into the new order some Sisak associations and politically undesirable individuals (like the Communists) did not fit in, as well as members of some ethnic minorities (like the Serbs and the Jews). One has to emphasize that with the research and vaporization of the social life as part of the overall life of the city imposes further research of other segments, such as the political and economical life, etc.
