1941Futak Street
Close View of Shrapnel Damage, Futoška Street 40, Novi Sad, 1941
A close view of an upper story facade shows hundreds of small impact marks pitting the wall. A window shutter hangs twisted and torn, and the brick infill beside it has broken through in two places, exposing masonry behind shattered window frames. Overhead wires cross the frame. The donor's caption gives the address as Futoška street 40.
About this place
Futoška street is the old road running west out of Novi Sad toward Futog, the settlement some 7 km away that Hungarian sources call Futak and German ones Alt-Futok. It was once a single long street reaching from the town centre out to the Futog road, and its inner end became Jevrejska street when the boulevard now called Bulevar Mihajla Pupina was cut through; in the 1930s the whole length, Jevrejska included, was renamed for King Peter II. The building at Futoška 17, put up in 1912 as a Hungarian gymnasium, still stands and houses the Mihajlo Pupin electrical engineering school. The Futoška market on the street remains one of the busiest in the city.
