| Title | Remembering Interwar Jewish Writers: The Urban and Literary Heritage of Sarajevo |
| Summary | This thesis aims to investigate the literary Jewish heritage of Sarajevo by studying the local memory of three interwar authors: Laura Papo, Isak Samokovlija, and Kalmi Baruh. This thesis has three interrelated thematic parts. The first presents the biography and creations of the three authors, who approached the Jewish culture from the historical standpoint of memory and heritage preservation. The second part is the memory creation and heritagization of these Jewish authors after the Holocaust. More attention will be given to the analysis of the rediscovery of Bohoreta’s work and the influence of Kuić’s novels to the creation of memory about Laura Papo Bohoreta. Gordana Kuić was Bohoreta’s niece who wrote several fictional novels about her family history that influenced the reinterpretation of the figure of Laura Papo and her sisters. The third theme is the historical topography of Jewish everyday life in Sarajevo, as it is represented by Jewish authors or connected with the remembrance and efforts to commemorate their life and work. |
