Just saw live telecast of Olympic Bronze medal Men’s Handball match Croatia Vs Hungary and the Croatian team, nicknamed “Cowboys” simply nailed the medal. Well done!
That makes the 6th Olympic glory medal for Croatia, so far.
All eyes now on the waterpolo for Gold: Croatia Vs Italy on the last afternoon of Olympic competitions. Croatia’s “Barracudas” want gold! Good luck and fare well!
Mali Cupic, our hero!

A nice idea being a hero. One that most people have fantasized about. (I have) But, what makes one a hero? What makes one stand out above and beyond others? Does joining the military automatically make you a hero? Does enduring the rigors of nursing school make you a hero? Or, perhaps simply being in the Croatian team makes you a hero. Thank you Cowboys.

Dear Ina, Sorry for not keeping in touch. I’m busy preparing a month long seminar for some students of the new Catholic U. I’ll be in Zagreb from Oct. 5 to Nov. 5 conducting this seminar 4 times per week 2 hrs. per day. I hope to see you in Zagreb if by any chance you plan a visit. Last week accidentally I came a cross a critique or analysis of my book, it is the best I read and probably the only one that expresses the main points I tried to make. If you’ve some time, please read it. All the best and keep the good work. The Olympic achievements of the Croatian team were really extraordinary considering the size and number of people. It is great that you are always emphasizing the good and fighting for justice. Thank you, Esther Gitman

Great news Esther – your book “When Courage Prevailed” and all your work in the field of the Holocaust is just so important and excellent. Glad to hear about seminars in Croatia and regret I won’t be there. Wish you all the best on your journey with your work and otherwise.

Hello,
I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia. I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
Croatia, the War, and the Future
