Pino Bačić

Pino Bačić was born in 1953 in a family that comes from Vela Luka, on the island of Korčula. He lived and worked in Split all of his life. During the Second World War, Korčula was first under the occupation of the Italians, and later the Germans. His father was a member of SKOJ [Young Communist League of Yugoslavia] and a member of the Partisan Movement on Korčula. In 1944, his mother, together with her family, sought refuge at the El Shatt refugee camp in Sinai. He was in Split during the war in the 1990s, where he witnessed the climate of fear that existed in that period in Split, in particular in relation to the Serb population. He didn't participate in the war. During the war he was fired from his job, for not belonging to the governing local structures and was out of work for seven years. Today he lives and works in Split.
