Cilj je ovog istraživanja proučiti proces ponovne izgradnje židovskih zajednica nakon Šoa u Jugoslaviji, s naglaskom na teritorij Hrvatske. Promatrajući povijest iznutra, istražuju se odnosi između židovskog identiteta, politike i ideologije, u kontekstu socijalističke države i promjenama u (samo)definiranju jugoslavenskih i hrvatskih Židova, raslojavanjima unutar zajednice, te opti-ranju, gotovo dvije trećine preživjelih za odlazak. Nakon kratkog pregleda predratne i ratne povijesti hrvatskih Židova, rad se fokusira na opis situacije neposredno nakon završetka Drugog svjetskog rata, zatim na položaj Židova u širem društvu, odnos vlasti prema Židovima i Židova prema vlasti, te vidljivost Židova u širem društvu, naročito kroz njihov angažman u društvu (od partijske nomenklature do javnih djelat-nika). Analizira se položaj preživjelih, odnos vlasti prema slobodnim zanimanjima, s obzirom na broj Židova koji posjeduju upravo takvo obrazovanje, odnosno vještine, te proces oduzimanja imovine, kao i izostanak povrata imovine, oduzete 1941. godine, što rezultira procesom pauper-izacije pripadnika prijeratnog srednjeg i višeg sloja. U radu se analizira uloga međunarodnih židovskih organizacija, koje imaju važnu ulogu u obnavljanju poslijeratnih jugoslavenskih židovskih zajednica, čija je uloga ograničena na pružan-je materijalne pomoći, razlozi čega su u radu posebno obrađeni. Novi režim jugoslavenskim Ži-dovima zabranjuje obnovu cionističkih organizacija, što se na istoku Europe događa nešto kas-nije, sukladno s vremenom u kojem komunisti preuzimaju apsolutnu vlast u određenoj državi. Posljedice ovakve situacije unutar zajednice su dvojake, ne nužno uslijed vlastitog izbora: ostanak u Jugoslaviji odnosno Hrvatskoj ili odlazak. Prije 1948. godine Židovi odlaze uglavnom prema Zapadu (naročito SAD-u) te, u relativno manjem broju, u Mandatnu Palestinu. Osnivanjem Države Izrael 1948., oko polovine hrvatskih Židova optira za odlazak te se iseljava, većinom u razdoblju do 1952. Pri dolasku, morali su se odreći državljanstva te prava na povrat nekretnina. Ovaj odlazak stavljen je i u širi konteks odlaska ostalh neslavenskih manjina.

Rebuilding the Community: The Federation of Jewish Communities and American Jewish Humanitarian Aid in Yugoslavia, 1944–19522017 •
This article recounts the implications of American Jewish aid for rebuilding the Jewish communities of Yugoslavia in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust. By focusing on the founding and the activities of the Autonomous Relief Committee (ARC), which channelled aid provided by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the article argues that it was the power that ARC assumed, of deciding on funding priorities and being in close proximity to the new Yugoslav communist regime, that allowed it to shape the outlook of post-Holocaust Jewishness in Yugoslavia. The article is based primarily on previously unexamined sources from the Federation of Jewish Communities of Yugoslavia and JDC, and sheds new light on the dynamic period of negotiation of the new normative Jewish identity in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
the paper presents an analysis of the living conditions fort Jews under Yugoslav Communis (1945-1990). Jews were, most part of them, survivors of the "Shoa", remigrants and demobilized partisans. Jewish partisans enjoyed concessions - while "simple survivors" had to fight for a minimum of official appreciation and social support. From 1945 until 1949/1950 , during Stalinism, particularly after the break off of all relations between Moscow and Belgrade, when the Yugoslavs passed through a true "wicht-hunt" against Communists loyal to Staljin, the Jews despite of their fate during the Holocaust, suffered from new prosecution, so that a remarkable number of survivors joined the Aliyah to Israel. Thanks to destalinisation and Tito's turn towards the West, all Yugoslav citizens took advantage from the "controlled opening" - while within the Yugoslav Communist Party continued the struggle between the forces of repression and returning to the Communist roots against the reformists: It can be concluded that the Yugoslav Jews until to the collapse of Yugoslavia experienced the conveyance of "no future" as well as periods of a non undisturbed, but nothing the less quiet recreation. The Jewish communities however will never be any more assemblies of Jews, but cultural organizations for those who are Jews by origin and others who are interested in Jewish live and traditions.

Jews between two totalitarian systems: Property legislation2016 •
This article is a presentation of the general condition of Jews in Croatia after World War II in the crucial post-war period, 1945 (with reference to previous developments) until the beginning of 1948. The main characteristic of the position of Jews in Croatia was the restoration of the Federation of Jewish communities in Belgrade and Jewish communities in Croatia, renewal of their membership in international Jewish organizations, as well at the assistance and relief provided by international Jewish organizations to the few surviving Jews in Croatia. Particular attention is given to property issues, relating both to personal property and the property of Jewish communities and organizations in Croatia. This article shows the direct link between repatriation/citizenship with the right of property restitution, as well as the series of laws which, together with penalty clauses, mandated consequential measures involving the seizure of property. Having first identified the pre-war ownership of the property, the new Yugoslav legal system created a framework to nationalize Jewish property, thus changing the property structure of the new Yugoslavia.
