Franjo Babić

Franjo Bartola Babić (19 December 1908 – 15 May 1945[1]) was a Croatian writer and journalist.

Babić was born in Babina Greda.[1] He finished elementary school in Zemun in 1919, and six grades of gymnasium in Vukovar and Vinkovci by 1926. Since 1929 he worked at the newspaper Hrvatski list in Osijek, and served as its editor-in-chief from 1941 to 1944.[1]

He attended the trial of the bandit Čaruga, about whom he later wrote a book.[2] From 1934 to 1943, Babić was active as a theater critic in Osijek.[3] From 1932 on, he also wrote articles about chess.[4]

He moved to Zagreb in 1944. During his attempt to escape to the western Allies in May 1945, he went missing near Maribor,[2] where he was presumably killed by Yugoslav Partisans.[5]

gollark: How do you coordinate that?! They can't do that in countries with comparatively bad tech and much less land area/cultural variation/whatever.
gollark: With one world government this would not be possible unless it had strong devolution.
gollark: Additionally: normally, governments do somewhat different things, and we can use that to determine which things are better (very noisily).
gollark: If the one world government turns apioform there is nothing much you can do about it.
gollark: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
