Jerko Skračić

He was born in Murter, where he attended elementary school. In Preko he attended a Franciscan gymnasium. He enrolled at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb, but didn't graduate because he was a political prisoner in Lepoglava. He described the experience in Lepoglava in his book Pod drugim ključem: sjećanja na život ustaških zatočenika u Lepoglavi 1940. i 1941. god.^[1][3]
