Search & Research: Lectures and Papers 38: Yugoslavia and the Eichmann Trial

During the Cold War period, Yugoslavia belonged to the Eastern Bloc but remained uniquely independent in its decision-making. Until 1967, it maintained good relations with Israel and was the only Eastern European country to cooperate with the prosecution in the Eichmann Trial, which relied heavily on evidence from behind the Iron Curtain. In this award-winning study, Jovana Cvetićanin analyzes the complex motivations that shaped Yugoslavia's relations with the Jewish state and its response to the trial.
