Abstract: This paper discusses the interpretative framework that Serbian and Croatian historiographies on one side, and German historiographies on the other side, used when studying the past of the German minority in Yugoslavia. Pointing out a strong influence of ideologies on historical writing, the authors distinguish two periods with regard to this issue: ‘Cold War historiography’, from the end of the Second World War until the beginning of the 1990s; and ‘post-Cold War’, that is, contemporary historiography. Ideological antagonisms and personal experiences of contemporaries, which marked the Cold War historiography, have been gradually overcome during the past two decades, due to the revision of previous assessments in all three historiographies.
