Abstract

Krinka Vidaković-Petrov has devoted much of her extensive academic career to studying the Hispanist Kalmi Baruh. In fact, the researcher considers him the «father» of the Spanish studies in Yugoslavia. The present article intends to analyze her personal connection with the Bosnian-Sephardic intellectual through the biographical method, including the attendance to one of her academic presentations, three meetings that took place in Belgrade and a personal document written by her. The aim of the article, despite the limitations of this research model, is to highlight the relevance of the work carried out by Vidaković-Petrov and to analyze the cognitive fundamentals that justify her interest in Kalmi Baruh in personally and professionally disadvantageous conditions, but which show a strong political determination to give voice to the Sephardic world after the Holocaust.

Key words: Krinka Vidaković-Petrov, Kalmi Baruh, biography, Hispanism, Sephardic, Yugoslavia.
