ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | The author argues that Serbian leaders have been busily rewriting their nation's history since the end of World War II. According to the author, Serbia's political and church leaders have depicted themselves as victims of Nazism in need of a safe homeland-their rationale behind the war to establish 'Greater Serbia' in the ruins of post-communist Yugoslavia. The existence of Serbian 'victim' propaganda is reflected in the world media as well as in popular commentary and scholarly analysis. It is astonishing that this campaiagn to reverse the wartime role of Serbia from Nazi collaborators to victims has been widely successful, particularly in Israel. In attempting not only to establish but also explain the Serbian record during the Nazi occupation, the author describes the situation in nineteenth-century Serbia, showing the foundation of a political and social system that was partly built on ethnic prejudices and the glorification of violence. This volume draws heavily on documents that have been previously unavailable to the West. Some of the written record has been translated and is published here, in full, for the first time. |
