ANTI-SEMITIC STEREOTYPES AND PROPAGANDA IN SERBIA FROM 1941 TO 1945

Summary/Abstract: Anti-Semitic stereotypes on the German occupying territory in Serbia were, basically, the measure of occupying authorities taken against the Jews. Occupying soldiers and domestic German inhabitants were all guided by them. A role of one of the major means of ideological-publicity influence, especially during the fights for destruction of insurgent movements, was assigned to Anti-Semitic stereotypes. Within the basic invaders’ objectives and under their control, quisling Serbian administration used Anti-Semitic stereotypes to find its place in Serbian “new line-up of powers”, ideologically and politically. Judging by prevailing influence of 2 resistance movements among the population and after the great defeat of insurgent in autumn of 1941, the reach of Anti-Semitic stereotypes was very limited. For it a bit serous and effective perception of these stereotypes, the main conditions were missing: traditional, social and political ones. Without these, it was impossible to bridge the gap between the sullen and tragic reality of defeated people exposed to mass destruction, on one side, and a projected picture of happy peasants’ Serbia in “new Europe” on the other. As a result, publicity action, by which concrete German and imaginary enemies were supposed to change their places, was loomed to failure from the very beginning.
