Books about erasure

Several books and publications about the erasure and the erased people have been published, the first book being launched in 2003 by the Peace Institute. The circle of the authors is quite settled. Besides the Peace Institute, which published another book on this topic in 2010, also the Academic Press (Študentska založba) with its Journal for the Criticism of Science (Časopis za kritiko znanosti) in 2008 and the Publishing house Sanje (2011) were the book publishers engaged in publishing on the erased.

All these books and publications, including the latest book “The Stories of the Erased Residents” (Publishing house Sanje, 2011) for which the publisher enabled free access to the greater part of the book content, are published on this website. We are grateful to both publishers for the cooperation.
