The article analyzes the peculiarities of the destruction of Serbian Jews
during Second Wolrd War in the local and European context. Of all the sites
in Serbia relevant to the destruction of the Serbian Jews, Sajmiste is the
most important. After the consideration of the attitude of Germans and
Nedic?s regime toward Jews and ?Gypsies? in the context of the Final
Solution, the author highlights that the Sajmiste internment camp was
transformed into a local death camp-the only such site outside the
territories of Poland and the Soviet Union. Serbia was the one country
outside Poland and the Soviet Union where all Jewish victims were killed on
the spot without deportation. It was the first country after Estonia to be
declared ?judenfrei.? Moreover, in Serbia the German army was not only
complicit in the Holocaust but was in fact the main instigator and
executioner in the killing of the Jewish men. For this reason, in particular,
Sajmiste is a unique site for Holocaust remembrance not only in the Serbian
but also in the European context.

AbstractEvaluation is an important part of the project cycle, but it is not confined to projects: any aid‐funded activity can be evaluated. ODA spends about £1/2 million per annum on evaluation (including in‐house staff costs). The policy on evaluation is controlled by the Projects and Evaluation Committee which receives the reports. As the same Committee approves all major new projects there is instant feedback. It is vital that senior management learn recent lessons from experience to supplement their own personal experience which may be out of date. Evaluations need to be done as soon as useful lessons are to be learned—if left too late the findings are likely to have been overtaken by recent changes in ODA procedures. Using outside evaluators brings a welcome element of impartiality. But a balance of in‐house and out‐of‐house evaluators yields the best results. Evaluation reports need to be presented in a systematic way (as appraisals are), and they should be made widely available. Two lessons stand out: the need for in‐depth appraisal and careful monitoring and the importance of good management for successful projects.
