Invictus, I got an assignment to write an essay about the role of the Church, in Eastern Europe. That being a rather broad research subject, I started to look for a more narrowed down topic to write about.
At the same time, I was reading the book "Balkan Ghosts" by Kaplan, and the name Stepinac came up. From that point on, I started reading about Stepinac, and so on. I am hardly an expert on the matter, my studies in regards to history have always been focused on Western Europe and so this was/is in large parts new to me. But immensly fascinating.
For you it must be ever so much more personal, I am sorry for your loss of family.
