The text concerns the camp for political prisoners established in 1949 in Yugoslavia on Goli Otok island. This theme was almost entirely absent from public discourse before the 1980s, and real changes and developments in discussions about this part of the history of postwar Yugoslavia occurred only after Tito’s death. Goli Otok as the largest and most infamous camp in communist Yugoslavia is considered a symbol, its name recognized as a synonym of a physical and psychological system for destroying people. In the text I analyze autobiographical texts written by women prisoners (such as Milka Žicina and Vera Cenić). A large number of female inmates were sentenced just for being related to or keeping close contact with a male “enemy of the state”. Thus women were treated not as independent subjects, but as mothers, sisters and wives subordinate to male family members. The social exclusion of women prisoners and their families exacerbated the feeling of isolation and continued after leaving the camp. I am interested in the detail of the strategies of storytelling which are related to spirituality (focusing on nature) both during the period of isolation, when they searched for a way to survive it, as well as after release when the women tried to start a new life.

The paper tackles the still to be fully explored forced isolation centres functioning beyond the democratic system of justice, serving the so-called re-education or quite simply isolation, and ultimately elimination, of political opponents or those sharing different worldviews to a particular political regime. The first section presents information concerning the Croatian Nazi extermination camp at Jasenovac, which was established during the existence of the so-called Independent State of Croatia during the Second World War. In the second part there is a description of the so-called re-education camps, intended for Josip Broz Tito’s opponents, establishing on the Croatian island of Goli Otok. The third part concerns issues related to the functioning of isolation camps of unspecified nature (and mainly identified as camps for military and civilian prisoners of war) in Kosovan territory. These camps were run by functionaries of the Kosovo Liberation Army.
