 | Josip Joe Mikulec (1878-1933), Croatian globe-trotter, is probably the greatest one in history. The first of his two preserved books of autographs covers the period until 1924, while the second - from that year until his death in Genoa, Italy, in 1933. Both books contain more than 50,000 signatures, among them by six USA presidents and Nikola Tesla. The first book has 26 kg and 2896 pp. It was purchased only recently in the USA, in 2025, due to the initiative of Viktor Šimunić, the Mayor of Oroslavje near Croatia's capital Zagreb. The second book was purchased in 2023, and is kept in the Croatian History Museum in Zagreb, as a national heritage. |

The Apostle of the Sunderbans The Life and Mission of Fr Ante Gabric, Servant of God
 | The 176-page biography vividly depicts the holiness and Spartan lifestyle of Fr Ante Gabrić, whom Mother Teresa (now St Teresa of Calcutta) hailed as the "living love of Jesus." Fr Ante's tomb at Maria Palli has become a place of pilgrimage, which people of all faiths visit to pray for his intercession. To Croatians and to the faithful of Baruipur Diocese, he's already a saint. He set sail for India on October 20, 1938, at 23. On October 20, 1988, exactly fifty years later, he breathed his last at Mariapalli parish, which he had founded on January 20, 1975. |

Ivana Marija Vidovic a member of the jury of the 2025 Moszkowski pianistic competition in Poland
| Up there, far away, in cold Poland where the sun is still pale and completely wintery, my heart was warmed by countless young talents who, from category A to those aged 25, have established themselves as exceptionally gifted and disciplined. In category A, at the age of eleven, the little prince Szýmon Gośliński, as I like to call him, delighted us with his breathtaking interpretation!

Tomislav Gavranic 1937-2025 Croatian doctor of Aboriginal Health in Australia
 | Tomislav Gavranić, born in Croatia on the island of Korčula (in the town of Blato), was very passionate, loyal and dedicated to the Aboriginal people which we all know. This was shown in both his private and working life. He was honoured whilst working in Gove to be initiated into the Marika Clan in Yirrkala. His aboriginal family kept in contact and they would come to visit, where many a story was told around a very multicultural table. We provide a text written by Mrs. Tuga Tarle, in Croatian. It was a part of her PhD thesis, and included into her very interesting monograph published in 2024 in Zagreb. |
