Homeguard memorials in Slovenia
Homeguard memorials are part of contemporary Slovenian political discourse which uses memorial discourse to offer a specific interpretation of loss, death and the event that caused them; thus the past is linked to the present. Crucial role of homeguard memorials is to construct the post-war killing as part of the national trauma, to transpose the roles of victim and perpetratorm symbolicaly reinterpret the meaning oh homeguard movement, collaboration and resistance. In other words, to implement the interpretation of the "civil war." The collection includes photographs and introductory text.
