On Tuesday, May 24, 2022 over 200 diverse participants helped launch the Croatian translation of Paths of the Righteous by Ari Mittleman at the Esplanade Hotel in the heart of Zagreb.
Through fast paced short stories, the new book from Gefen Publishing House in Jerusalem profiles eight non-Jews who have spoken up for the Jewish community in recent years. One of them, Dr. Dragan Primorac, is a medical doctor in Zagreb. He previously served as Minister of Education, Science and Sport deepening ties between Israel and Croatia.
The author, Ari Mittleman, is originally from Pennsylvania in the United States and was compelled to write the book after the massacre at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in October 2018.
The event was spearheaded by Croatian Minister of Culture Nina Obuljen Korzinek and Israeli Ambassador Ilan Mor.
