Abstract:
The article examines the impressive literary figures of Sephardic and Ashkenazi origin in stories by Ivo Andrić, situated in Bosnia, but with different historical backgrounds and mostly written from the perspective of post-World War II memory. While the first lived there already for centuries, remembering their former home country Spain, the second came as specialists with the Austrian occupation. The main topics are suppression of the non-recognized, non-Muslim people, Jewish isolation and self-isolation but also the attempt to escape from the hatred. Special attention is given to Bar Titanic, an “anatomy of the holocaust” and to Children, a study of hatred, aggression and guilt.
