    The aim of the project Unveiling personal memories on war and detention is to affirm personal memories of all interested witnesses of political events in Croatia and to preserve them from falling into oblivion.Read more

It has been used since 1948, when the oral history method was accepted in the scientific community as a technique of documenting history and it enables Documenta, as a human rights organization working on the process of dealing...Read more

Đorđe Vučinić

Đorđe Vučinić was born in 1970 in Vukovar. At the outbreak of the war in the 1990s he was in Vukovar. A bar that he was intending to open in 1991 was levelled. On 22nd of July, 1991 his father was taken away and murdered. According to witnesses, four persons wearing Croatian Army uniforms took him away. His remains were found in Sremska Kamenica on 27th of July, after his body had been washed up next to the River Danube; he was buried as an unidentified person in Novi Sad. Đorđe Vučinić searched for his father's remains and managed to have his body exhumed and identified in February 1992. He was later buried in Negoslavci. The autopsy showed that, prior to being killed by a firearm, his father had been gravely abused. Đorđe Vučinić never asked for compensation, neither for his destroyed premises, nor for his father's murder. According to the information that he got from other people and from a lawyer that he contacted, such attempts would not have succeeded. Today he lives in Vukovar and he believes that reconciliation between people who lost their loved ones in the war would be very difficult to achieve.
