List of Yugoslav World War II monuments and memorials in Serbia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of monuments and memorials dedicated to the National Liberation Movement, its fighters and its victims in the World War II in Yugoslavia, built on the territory of the present day Serbia, including those in the autonomous provinces of Vojvodina and Kosovo and Metohija.

This list does not include busts or other statues of individuals (see bottom).

History[edit]

The Yugoslav authorities established several memorial sites between 1945 and 1960, though widespread building started after the founding of the Non-Aligned Movement.

Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito commissioned several memorial sites and monuments in the 1960s and 70s dedicated to World War II battle, and concentration camp sites. They were designed by notable sculptors, including Dušan Džamonja, Vojin Bakić, Miodrag Živković, Jordan and Iskra Grabul, and architects, including Bogdan Bogdanović, Nebojša Delja, Gradimir Medaković. After Tito's death, a small number were built, and the monuments were popular visitor attractions in the 1980s as patriotic sites, and since the Yugoslav Wars and the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the sites are abandoned and have lost their importance.
