Through many years of archival research and drawing on existing literature, Ivo Goldstein, in his book \u201cCroatia in the Second World War 1941\u20131945\u201d, has produced\u2014across nearly 500 pages\u2014the first comprehensive monograph on Croatia during the Second World War, it was said at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although many authors have so far dealt with the subject and written books about that period of Croatian history, the author emphasized that he approached the Second World War in Croatia differently than had been done before, including in the book both historical facts and episodes that are little known or that, for various reasons, have been previously omitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stressing that he has no partisan obligations and can write factually about everything, Goldstein explained that in the book he begins from what he sees as an indisputable fact: who was on the right side, and who on the wrong side, in the Second World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 was the President\u2019s Special Adviser for Culture, Zdravko Zima, and also attending the book promotion was former President of the Republic, Stjepan Mesi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0313-1-1024x768.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0313-1-768x576.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0324-3-1024x768.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0324-3-768x576.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0373-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0373-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0446-2-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0446-2-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0459-1-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_0459-1-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Dario Andri\u0161ek<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended this evening the promotion of the book \u201cCroatia in the Second World War 1941\u20131945\u201d by Ivo Goldstein, held at the Gavella City Drama Theatre in Zagreb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":39366,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-39367","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
