NOVOSADSKO SEĆANJE (NOVI SAD REMEMBRANCE) - TRAILER

What if a monument for "innocent victims" implicitly includes the perpetrators too?

Teodor Kovač (99), Ivan Ivanji (93) and Marta Flato (80) are among the few survivors of the 1942 pogrom, known as the Novi Sad Raid, when Hungarian fascists killed over one thousand people in Novi Sad and threw them under the ice on the Danube. On the one hand, sociology teacher Marija Vasić has been fighting against oblivion and teaching lessons on the Raid of 1942. On the other, local authorities intend to build an ethically controversial monument to all the victims of the war, which could imply the war criminals from the Novi Sad Raid as well.
