Ulica Maršala Tita Transformations “A century ago the street was called Čemaluša, after a Turkish feudal landlord. After World War I, when Bosnia was incorporated into the Yugoslavian monarchy, the name changed again to King Aleksandar Street. During the Nazi occupation, it was christened Adolf Hitler Street. When communist partisans finally liberated the city, the tree-lined avenue was renamed after their leader, Josip Broz Tito,” (DeVoss). At one point, Marshall Tito Street was previously known by the name of a Croatian Fascist, as articulated in this poignant passage from Sarajevo Blues: “A shell hit one of the facades of Marshall Tito Street. The plaster poured down and, with it, a sheet metal sign. The sign read: Dr. Ante Pavelić 11. Until then I had no idea, but now I knew: the central street of Sarajevo had a different name fifty years ago, and that the name was hidden for years behind the plaster, like in a geological diagram of different ages,” (Mehmedinović 88).
