Abstract

Summary bo poslan v kratkem

Abstract: Monuments to the WW II liberation struggle in the border region between Slovenia and Italy, namely Istria are mirrors of conflict memories at the international and regional level between the two countries and ethnicities, living in the region. As material sites of official memory at the same time monuments reflect tensions with the individual memories and trigger persistent collective silences decades after the fall of the official memory of the previous Yugoslavian system.

Key words: monuments, heroes, WW II, northern Istria, conflict memories, silence, Slovenes, Italians.
