“Uncompromisingly systematic and accurate, almost a vivisection of the crime committed by the state against part of its citizens not recognized as its members; it is a vivisection in the real sense of the word, given that the designers and executors of this administrative genocide are still alive; it is systematic because it addresses almost all areas of living that were affected, injured, denied, and in many cases terminated and destroyed; it is accurate because it offers a look into the crime from all angles, ranging from legal to broader sociological approaches, such as the homogenization of the nation and the exclusion by the Slovenian nation-state of impure admixtures. This suggests only the briefest outline of the book The Scars of the Erasure.”
