Jabuka k. Pančeva (memorial)
Historical background
See: Beograd – Sajmište/Semlin
Description of commemoration
The memorial consists of two separate concrete parts, on which 4 elements made of sheet metal in the shape of stairs (?) were placed. At the back you can see a structure made of angle brackets, which prior to 2014 had had 2 sheet metal parts, similar to those that still remain embedded in the front part of the monument. Today, only 2 of the 4 elements remain (press articles from 2014 talk about the devastation of the memorial and the disappearance of the first of the metal elements).
A concrete stand used to hold a plaque can be seen in front of the memorial (no plaque).
The monument is an example of a socialist-realist structure with the type of symbolism which seems to be too hard to grasp.
The area surrounding the memorial is designed as a place to hold commemorate meetings, including an amphitheater located behind the monument (judging by the materials used, it was built or renovated no more than 10-20 years ago). The vicinity of the amphitheater is now overgrown with dense acacia bushes.
As a result of the activity of vandals, the monument is currently being under surveillance. However, it has not been renovated.
