10.000 djece bez roditelja u Domovinskom ratu
The monumental work of Vjekoslav Šaravanje documents the difficult fate of children who were left without parents in the Homeland War, providing a lasting memorial to the most vulnerable victims of war.
The book "10,000 Children Without Parents in the Homeland War," authored by Vjekoslav Šaravanja, serves as a poignant and exceptionally important historiographical and documentary account of the gravest consequences of the war in Croatia during the 1990s. This monumental publication is dedicated to children who—as a result of the destruction, aggression, and suffering brought on by the war—lost one or both of their parents, an experience that left an indelible mark on their upbringing and their lives. Through years of dedicated work, the author has collected, systematically recorded, and analyzed extensive material and data regarding these war orphans; in doing so, he provides not only a statistical insight into the scale of these family tragedies but also a personalized tribute to each individual child and the lives lost by their parents. The work details the social, psychological, and living conditions these children faced, as well as the efforts made by the community, humanitarian organizations, and families to provide care, protection, and support. Beyond serving as a valuable resource for historical, social, and demographic research on the Homeland War, this book also fulfills a profound commemorative role. It stands as a lasting reminder of the price of freedom and a moral obligation for society never to forget the sacrifices endured by its youngest members.
