One of the most prominent Croats living in Argentina was Mirko Eterovic. He was professor of Classical Philology at the University of Córdoba. In 1999, at the age of 85, he was "accused" by the president of the Argentinian section of Simon Wiesenthal Center, Victor Ramos, for allegedly having been head of a concentration camp on the island of Brač during the second world war. At Ramos' incitation Croatia requested Eterovic' s extradition and subsequently the man was expelled from Argentina and extradited to Croatia, where he was supposed to stand trial.
Croatian Ministry of Interior investigated claims made by the Jew Ramos. Claims were declared as completely unfounded. There was no concentration camp on Brač during the second world war, so Eterovic could not have been head of a non-existing camp. Nevertheless, the retired professor spent the remaining few months of his life in one of Zagreb's hospitals. He died alone and betrayed by his both homelands, Croatia and Argentina. It is incredible how Jew swindlers exert an influence on sovereign states these days.
A total shame!
