Svjedočenje dvojice jevrejskih zatočenika logora Jasenovac o stradanju Srba
Testimonies of two Jewish Prisoners in Jasenovac about the Executions of Serbs
Abstract
Autori ovog rada postavili su sebi za cilj da sakupe raznovrsna i autentična svedočenja i saznanja o stradanju srpskog naroda i pojedinaca u zloglasnom logoru smrti Jasenovac i da ih u sklopu istog rada predstave u celovitoj slici. U pitanju su predstave o stradanju Srba, proizašle iz sećanja dvojice svedoka tih strašnih i ponižavajućih dešavanja, Josipa Erliha i Edvarda Šajera, njihovih jevrejskih sapatnika i sastradalnika, koji su imali tu neobjašnjivo srećnu okolnost da dočekaju oslobođenje od hrvatskih i bosansko-muslimanskih ustaških zločinaca – kraj rata i bezumnog haosa i uspostavljanje mira i poretka, tj. da se spasu neizbežne smrti jasenovačkog logora, probojem, bekstvom, pružanjem otpora, snažnom voljom za životom i potrebom za svedočenjem o nehumanom, brutalnom i sistematskom biološkom uništavanju čitavih naroda. Svedočenja, iako po autentičnosti i uverljivosti drugorazredni izvor podataka, imaju ogroman značaj kad je istorija Holokausta u pitanju i rasvetljavanje svedokovih... ličnih doživljaja onih pojava, zbivanja i događaja kojima su prisustvovali, bez obzira na to da li su akteri tih dešavanja bili neznanci, ljudi delimično poznati ili sasvim nepoznati svedocima. Ovom prilikom čitaoci će biti u mogućnosti da se upoznaju sa time kako su dvojica logoraša - Erlih i Šajer, jedni od malobrojnih Jevreja, nekadašnjih jasenovačkih sužanja koji su preživeli Drugi svetski rat, videli, doživeli i zapamtili patnje, sudbinu, stradanje i tragičan položaj Srba, svoje braće u nevolji. Uporednim prikazivanjem dveju varijanti jednih te istih događaja i njihovom svestranom analizom, autori planiraju dokazati objektivnost, istinitost i uverljivost ispričanih sadržaja, čime bi se potvrdila i nepristrasnost i neutralnost u kazivanju ovih dvojice svedoka, a time i potreba za nepotcenjivanjem sekundarnih istorijskih izvora, koji, u nedostatku onih primarnih, mogu i te kako poslužiti za verodostojnu rekonstrukciju segmenata iz prošlosti i dati doprinos sklapanju celovitog (šireg) mozaika istorijske stvarnosti.
The authors of this paper have set an objective to themselves, and this objective
consists out of collecting diverse and authentic testimonies and knowledge
on the suffering of the Serbian people and individuals in the notorious
death-camp of Jasenovac, as well as the presentation of this information
in a comprehensive picture. In question are the two representations
on the suffering of Serbs that are results of two witnesses' memories of those
horrible and humiliating occurrences, the Serbs' Jewish fellow sufferers
– Josip Erlih and Edvard Shajer who both had the inexplicably fortunate
circumstance to welcome the liberation from the captivity of Croatian and
Bosnian Muslims Ustasha criminals – the end of the war and mindless chaos
and establishment of peace and order, videlicet the rescue of themselves
of the inevitable brutal death of the Jasenovac death-camp by using the
method of the breach, escape, resistance and strong will for surviving and the
need for testifying o...n the inhuman, brutal and systematical biological destruction
of entire peoples. Testimonies, even though being a secondary source
of data by authenticity and credibility, have an enormous importance
when the history of the Holocaust comes into question as well as the elucidation
of the witnesses' personal experiences of those phenomena and
events which they witnessed, irrelevant of that being their own role or that
other actors of these occurrences were only surrounding strangers, or
people have partially known or even completely unknown witnesses. On the occasion of this paper, the readers will have an opportunity to get a greater
insight into the lives of rare Jews who survived the Second World War, and
who have seen, experienced and remembered the pain, destiny and suffering
as well as the tragic situation of Serbs, their brothers in distress. These
two Jews are Erlih and Shajer, the former inmate-prisoners in Jasenovac.
By using the comparative representation of the two varieties of the same occurrences, and their versatile analysis, the authors of this work plan to prove
the objectivity, truthfulness and credibility of the told contents which would
prove the impartiality and neutrality in the words of these two witnesses,
and by doing so the non-underestimation of the secondary historical sources
which is the lack of the primary ones may serve a lot during the valid
reconstruction of the segments from the past and give a contribution to the
concluding of the integral/wider mosaic of the historical reality.
