Former Berlin homicide bull Bernie Gunther and a rising star in Germany's most prominent film company become pawns in the ambitious agendas of Hitler's dangerous Propaganda Minister.

Zagreb is the perfect site for examining the generative dynamic of transition: currently preparing for Croatia's entry into the European Union and negotiating the rocky shoals of the "transition economy," but also a city in which political and economic transition has been the status quo for the last century and a half. Practicing in conditions of continuous instability, architects and planners in 20th century Zagreb developed new strategies of urbanism and architecture for creatively engaging the transitional, conditional, mutable, and open-ended -- for absorbing, accommodating, anticipating and instrumentalizing the condition of irresolution. This book examines how these strategies, once stabilized in built form, become available to practice, generating new techniques for achieving previously unforeseen results. In this way the city itself becomes an actor in the transformation of architectural and urban practices. Transition thus emerges as a condition that not only foregrounds practice and privileges design over planning, but that also enables architecture to play an active, performative role in the formation of the city itself. Based on new mapping and diagrams, along with many original texts and photos which have never been published, the book features contributions by Hrvoje Njiric, Helena Paver Njiric, Charles S. Maier, Vedran Mimica, Vladimir Mattioni, Ivan Rogic, Fedja Vukic, Snjeska Knezevic, Aleksander Laslo and others. This study was initiated as a seminar at Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

Été 1943. Joseph Goebbels, ministre chargé de la propagande, demande à Bernie Gunther de retrouver la splendide Dalia Dresner, étoile montante du cinéma allemand en fuite à Zurich. Le détective ne peut refuser. Très vite, cette mission, à priori aussi engageante que l'objet de la recherche, prend un tour bien sinistre. Le père de la belle est un Croate antisémite de la première heure, sadique notoire, qui dirige un camp de concentration, tristement célèbre, de la région. Au même moment, la police suisse exige que Gunther fasse la lumière sur une vieille affaire qui risque de compromettre des proches de Hitler...

Witness of Phenomenon articulates a fresh examination of the German Group Zero-Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, and Günter Uecker-and other new tendency artists, who rejected painting and introduced new art media in postwar Europe. Group ZERO evolved into a network across Europe- Amsterdam, Milan, Paris, and Zagreb. This pan-European affiliation of artists generated a continuous stream of innovative artistic statements through the 1960s, incorporating non-traditional materials and new technologies to create kinetic art, light installations, performances, immersive multimedia installations, monumental land art, and the communication media of video and television. They transformed the visual arts from the inanimate objet d'art to a sensory experience by adopting the ascendant philosophy of Phenomenology as their conceptual foundation. Drawing from a decade of research on unpublished archives of the artists and critics of this period, this publication positions Group ZERO as a catalytic art moment in the transition from modern to contemporary art.

For the last seventy years—ever since his show-trial in 1946—Alojzije Stepinac, Cardinal Archbishop of Zagreb, has been the subject of controversy. In this book, Robin Harris explores recently available original sources, including Secret Police files stored in the Croatian State Archives, to find out the truth. Stepinac led the Catholic Church in Croatia during dangerous times. As a young, untested Archbishop, he confronted authoritarian rule under the First Yugoslavia. After the Axis Powers invaded in 1941, he struggled to steer the right course through the bloody chaos of the Second World War. For the last years of his life, in prison and then interned in the parish where he was born, he inspired the Croatian Catholic resistance to Communist persecution. Stepinac shared the fate of other Church leaders, like Cardinal Mindszenty of Hungary, who were vilified and imprisoned by the new Communist rulers of Eastern Europe. But the campaign against him, originated by the Communist Party, was, and still is, exceptionally ferocious and persistent. Accused of complicity with War-time atrocities, the Zagreb Archbishop’s role in this period is also important in the wider arguments about that of Pope Pius XII. Stepinac often had limited room for manoeuvre. A deeply spiritual man and never regarding politics as his metier, he had to calculate the best way to save lives when violence threatened, and to preserve the Faith—and loyalty to the Holy See—when Tito worked to destroy both. Pope Saint John Paul II beatified Stepinac in 1998. The canonisation was announced as imminent—until the leadership of the Serbian Orthodox Church protested to Pope Francis. This book should ensure that a full and objective assessment of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac can be made.

Neuware - Salomon Tannenbaum bezieht 1920 Prügel auf die Fußsohlen, weil er nicht mit den Empfindlichkeiten des noch jungen Königreichs Jugoslawien rechnet. Seither sitzt ihm die Angst in den Knochen. 1928 heiratet er die Frau mit den größten Augen, die Zagreb je gesehen hat, und wenig später wird Töchterchen Ruth geboren, deren Augen noch größer sind und die eines Tages wegen dieser Augen zum Kinderstar am Zagreber Nationaltheater wird. Als kroatische Shirley Temple feiert sie wahre Triumphe, Triumphe, die nicht nur ihr, sondern der ganzen Familie zu Kopf steigen. Als die Deportationen beginnen, ist es aus mit dem Ruhm und bald auch mit dem Leben.Miljenko Jergovic gelingt mit »Ruth Tannenbaum« ein fantastischer Roman über eins der finstersten Kapitel nicht nur der jugoslawischen Geschichte. Er setzt damit zugleich Lea Deutsch ein Denkmal, deren totgeschwiegenes Schicksal ihm den Anstoß zum Schreiben gab. Es ist das international erfolgreichste Buch dieses innerhalb wie außerhalb seiner Heimat bedeutenden Erzählers.
