Abstract
Mother’s Memory — the Memory of Mother. About Ženi Lebl’s A Diary of Judith The aim of this article is to rescue from oblivion a Ženi Lebl’s text A Dairy of Judith (Dnevnik jedne Judite, 1990) and to attempt to capture and present the specifics of female narration about World War II and Holocaust in Yugoslavia. The analysis particularly accentuates war traumas as an important aspect of women’s identity in Yugoslavia, which demands discussion and reflection. Lebl perceives herself as an agent of memory, who feels responsible not only for keeping the memory of the tragic past, but also for the way in which this memory is preserved. The author’s testimony written in Dnevnik…, the tale about a Jewish family Lebl, should be considered against the background of the particular political situation, the reality of Belgrade under occupation. On the one hand the narration that is passed on documents the fate of individual family members; on the other, the author by her own registered words speaks up for preserving the memory of Jewish victims of World War II in Serbia. Память матери — память о матери. O Дневнике одной Юдифи Жени Лебл Цель данной статьи — воскрешение из забвения забытого текста Жени Лебл — Дневника одной Юдифи (Dnevnik jedne Judite, 1990) — а также попытка определения и представления специфики женского нарратива о Второй мировой войне и уничтожении евреев в Югославии. При проведении анализа особое внимание уделяется проблеме травм войны как важного элемента женской идентичности в странах бывшей Югославии, о котором необходимо говорить и размышлять. Жени Лебл воспринимает себя как хранительницу памяти, которая чувствует ответственность не только за поддержание памяти о трагических событиях прошлого, но и за то, как увековечена эта память. Свидетельство автора в Дневнике…, повествовании об истории еврейской семьи Лебл, следует рассматривать в контексте конкретной политической ситуации, реалий оккупированного Белграда. С одной стороны, зафиксированный нарратив документирует судьбы отдельных членов семьи, с другой — посредством записанных слов автор сохраняет память о погибших во время Второй мировой войны в Сербии евреях.
