Description
In this issue of Sinfo magazine, on the 100th anniversary of the World War I, we take
a look at the war from the Slovenian point of view. The war affected Slovenians both
individually and as a nation. The stories are many but we will consider just a few. Let
this be an incentive for your own research.
We visited the Nova Gorica and Kobarid Museum and talked to a number of experts,
who brought to our attention different aspects of the war and its consequences for the
post-war period. Later on, we also present excerpts from chronicles and letters,
private collections and personal recollections; and even consider the culinary aspect
of World War I – in terms of economical meal preparation and gourmet delights.
Slovenia is very conscious of the importance of this anniversary and has established a
national committee which will in the next four years, in cooperation with cultural,
educational and scientific organizations and other local associations and committees,
ensure appropriate and coordinated remembrance events and activities. These
upcoming events and other activities are listed on the web page dedicated to the
100th Anniversary of World War I. To help Slovenians, as well as all those visitors,
who are visiting or perhaps intend to visit our beautiful country, understand this
period of Slovenian history, we have also prepared information on the activities of
numerous tourist agencies, the Public Agency SPIRIT Slovenia and the Walk of
Peace in the SoΔa Region Foundation.
One aspect of World War I, its refugee problem, is sadly, no longer only because of
war but due to other factors, still with us today. Natural disasters, such as the recent
floods in our close proximity were a testament to this. Although we had intended to
include the Bled Film Festival in our next issue, in response to the current topic –
respect for nature, and especially respect for water - we have also included it in this
one. By respecting our fellowman we can avoid war and by respecting the nature we
can avoid natural disasters.
