Pečat Samuila Demaja [EHRI podkast "Za žive i mrtve: Tragovi Holokausta"]

A third season of the EHRI Podcast "For the Living and the Dead: Traces of the Holocaust" was launched on Thursday, October 3, 2024. Between October and December 2024, EHRI released six episodes that deal with objects found in micro-archives, following on from the work EHRI has done over the last 4 years in looking for Micro-Archives. The EHRI Podcast was first launched on 29 September 2022, and since then, it has published two seasons with six episodes each. In this episode, we focus on a stamp, printed on the inside jacket of a book donated to the National Library of Serbia in 1941. The stamp is remarkable not least because it belonged to a prominent Belgrade lawyer named Samuilo Demajo, whose family was murdered in May 1942 in a Dušegupka, a truck re-equipped as a mobile gas van. Though Demajo's life was abruptly ended, his legacy lives on in this and the approximately 200 other books that he donated to rebuild the National library.
