Siniša Maričić
Siniša Maričić was born in 1926 in Skopje, in Macedonia. His father was an architectural engineer so the family moved around the Kingdom of Yugoslavia as he got work. In 1941 the family moved to Zagreb where Siniša Maričić and his parents joined the resistance movement. Because of that, the Ustaše authorities arrested them and locked them up in the prison in Petrinjska Street, and later in the Savska Street prison. Siniša Maričić was released after a month and a half, whilst his parents were taken to the Stara Gradiška camp. After graduating from university in Zagreb, he continued his scientific career. At the time of the break-up of Yugoslavia, he was a member of the Association for a Yugoslav Democratic Initiative. As a civil activist, at the beginning of the war he went to Knin with a group of intellectuals, to negotiate with the rebel Serbs. He died aged 91 in Zagreb on 31 October 2017.
