This guidebook was created for the Memorial Centre in Lipa, a Croatian village that got completely burnt down with all its 269 inhabitants in World War II.

This museum guidebook could be called a picture book for adults, because we wanted to present the tragic story of Lipa in the format that people will not put down before they have learned their lesson about humanity. The book is cut in the form of a house, and the content progresses from light to dark, ending with a bright future again. Typography also changes and follows the light/dark pages.

Finally, the book is wrapped in a white cloth, to resemble a bundle of valuable personal belongings that people of Lipa had to leave in front of the house they were later burnt in. The cloth is printed with “commandments for a more humane future”, based on the terrifying Nazi original that promotes ruthlessness and killings.
