The archive Silent Stories deals with the repressed period from the (so-called) communism era in former Yugoslavia, namely the women's labor and prison camps for Informbiro adherents. Not enough was and is spoken about the labor camps that had been established during this regime. At first it was a public secret, later a taboo and kind of a sidelined, no ones’ issue. This collection of research materials focuses on the female discourse and on the prison island Sveti Grgur − desolated uninhabited island off the Adriatic coast in Croatia.
