September 18-19, 2021 - Conference: Jewish Camp Zemun and Reception Camp Zemun
As part of marking of the European Heritage Day organized by the Municipality of Zemun, part of the program was a conference organized by the Jewish Community of Zemun on two camps located during the Second World War at the Belgrade Fair. The conference was held in the Office for Youth of the Municipality of Zemun. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Jewish camp Zemun, an exhibition "Jewish camp Zemun" by Nenad and Milan Fogel and Dr. Milan Koljanin was set up in the gallery space.
The goal and task of the conference was to get an insight into what the Jewish Camp Zemun, later the Transit Camp Zemun was, as well as how far the realization of the formation of the Memorial Museum of Remembrance at the location of the Old Fair, The Topovske šupe and all other places of suffering of Jews, Serbs and Roma in the vicinity of Belgrade during the World War 2. Without false modesty, all set goals have been fulfilled and we hope that they will help the future management of the Memorial Center "Staro Sajmište", which has not been set even after two years since the adoption of the Law. The results of the conference will be presented through the website of the Jewish community of Zemun and through the Proceedings which will contain the works of the conference participants.

The evening continued with presentations by the authors who presented many more interesting details about their work on collecting data on professors of Jewish origin and, among other things, on personal experiences with professors of the Medical Faculty in Belgrade. |
