MUSICKING IN CAPTIVITY - TRACES FROM THE KERESTINEC, STARA GRADIŠKA, JASENOVAC, AND KRALJEVICA CAMPS, 1941-1945.

This paper provides data on possible musical activities and cultural programs that were realized in various forms of captivity in the Kerestinec, Stara Gradiška, Jasenovac, and Kraljevica camps in the period 1941-1945. Based on archival documents and the testimonies of survivors which confirm the existence of several music groups in the mentioned camps, the paper presents the hitherto known repertoire that was performed at cultural events and concert programs, and critically examines the different types and circumstances of the musical and theatrical activities that were registered in the camps.
