Significance for science
Sources on “tabooed topics”, which also include topics that we dealt with in the course of this project, gradually became accessible no sooner than late 1980s and have been completely accessible since 1990. A comprehensive and multi-layered research requires thorough work, including the process of collecting the information on the fate of individuals, which is, most of all, time-consuming, particularly if there are several thousand victims involved. The results of this project represent a substantive upgrading of the – in terms of contents – rather tedious information collected to date, thus filling the gaps, which are still quite substantial, and increase the knowledge of a most traumatic issue in Slovenian history after World War II. It is the duty of Slovenian historiography to provide answers for these questions, especially since some other professions have already dealt with these issues. The legal profession has already treated the most sensitive questions of legal order or rather the absence of legal order as well as the connection between law and politics.
Significance for the country
Undoubtedly, the attitude expressed towards the past, particularly the traumatic events occurring immediately after WWII, is one of those questions which divide the Slovenian society to the greatest extent. It is both the duty and responsibility of historians to study these events as objectively as possible from every possible aspect and to present their findings to the public. If we wish to build a truly democratic society and be able to raise mature and responsible citizens who are capable of facing facts and viewpoints that might differ from their personal beliefs, it is necessary to treat subjects from contemporary history from their every aspect.
The publication of the project results, planed in the year 2013, will undoubtedly expand the knowledge about one of the most traumatic chapters of the Slovenian history, thus contributing to a more objective and less one sided outlook on these events. We deem that the publication will also be economically viable due to an extensive interest in this issue.
The chapters of these periods of the Slovenian history also make up a part of the teaching of the subject of history, but currently there is a lack of high quality materials which the teachers can use in their preparations. We value, that the publication of the results of the project will allow the professors to demonstrate to their students the wide range and multi layered nature of historical developments, which definitely also include the various fates of the people.
Furthermore, Slovenian historiography is primarily responsible for presenting the history of its country and the history of its ex-patriots. For this reason, the research must also meet the requirements of foreign professional public. A comparative incorporation of certain events within the European framework contributed in preventing those questions from being used for political manipulation. This is important for the state of Slovenia, the entire Slovenian society
