DISPELLING THE HATRED IN SERBIA

Abstract

In this article we will examine the urgence for dispelling the hatred in Serbia where the manifests of contemporary anti-Semitism and myths about enemy are still alive. In according to that, we will insist on need for social responsibility from the head of state to the importance of Holocaust Education and Human Rights Education same as on making a network between them in Serbian society. The analysis focuses mainly on Holocaust deniers, conspiratorial explanations of western policies and homeland traitors among the Serbian scholars, intelectuals and writers. In article will be suggest that the proliferation of conspiracy theories during the war in Ex Yugoslavia same as after the war led to a shifting of the boundary between acceptable and non acceptable political explanations, with the result that formerly unacceptable anti-Semitic themes became respectable. The Myth of the Enemy, have been exploited to provide national leaders with legitimacy for waging wars, providing justification for killing and deaths, absolute political instrumentalization and conquering new territories.
