Need help identifying an Ustasha (Family member).

What does it mean "first Croatian actor"?

Sotošek acted in one of the first Croatian films - "Matija Gubec" (1917). The script for Matija Gubec was writen by the famous Croatian novelist Marija Jurić Zagorka. Unfortunately, the film is lost. Please, check out this timeline:

I've managed to find a screenshot from another film Sotošek played in (Dvije sirote):

Dear Eliza,

thank you very much for clarification.

Best regards,

There is only one name that's even close and it's a direct hit:

SABOL, Tomo. 1942 Ust. Poručnik (Obrana), commandant of the women’s prison at Stara Gradiška concentration camp.

The first name is different but "Ante" may have been his middle name or a nickname. However, the rest of the information you provided fits perfectly and he is the only Ustasha officer in a data base of 3,500 officers that begins with "Sabo" with one exception:

SABOLIĆ, Franjo. c. 02.42 appt deputy chief of the Zagreb – Prigorje Security Police/UNS Section I. 06.07.44 state secretary of the Interior Ministry with some authority over RAVSIGUR.

So, Tomo Sabol is probably your wife's ggf. Since he was Obrana and involved with the camps, there should be a thick dossier on him in the former Yugoslav war crimes archives. Perhaps some of the other members here can offer some suggestions on how to access the archive files that have information on him and/or the titles of books on the Stara Gradiška camp.

Men, where is this database? I could use it.

Hello to everyone!

I'm looking for any available information on Ivica - one of the Jasenovac commanders (and possibly my grandmother's cousin). I've read entries about him in Tko je tko u NDH and Vladimir Dedijer's book Jasenovac i Vatikan (not sure if that's the correct title). Also, I've managed to find some info on the internet that Ivica was Pivac's subordinate in the Slana camp on the island of Pag (Tko je tko in NDH doesn't mention that). Were there any other Ustasa officers by that surname in Jasenovac? Does anyone have any photos of him? I'm grateful for any piece of information.

Thank you in advance.

P.S. Excuse my English.
