Daniel (or Danijel) Ivin (born Danko Goldstein; 16 April 1932, Karlovac) is a Yugoslav-born Croatian, writer, politician and human rights activist.
Biography
Ivin was born and raised in Karlovac to a Jewish family. His elder brother was Slavko Goldstein.[1][2]
His father, Ivo ("Izchak") Goldstein, was a reputable book dealer in Karlovac. In 1941, his father was murdered by the Ustaše at the Jadovno concentration camp.[3]
As a boy, Danko joined the Partisans and served as a courier. At the end of 1942, he watched over Ustaše captive Jure Francetić and informed the Partisan headquarters about the latter's health. He changed his name from Danko to Daniel/Danijel, and surname from Goldstein to Ivin (meaning son of Ivo) in honour of his late father.[citation needed]
From 1949–52, Ivin lived in Israel and served in Israel Defense Forces. Upon his return to Croatia he worked as a journalist. Later he worked under Franjo Tuđman at the "Institute for history of the labor movement" in Zagreb. In 1966, for his attempt to start the non-Communist newspaper Slobodna riječ (Free word), he was sentenced to several months in prison under charges of organizing the assassination on Josip Broz Tito[citation needed].
After being released, Ivin lived in Switzerland and Great Britain. In 1989, together with his brother Slavko, Ivin founded the Croatian Social Liberal Party.[4]
In 1993 he co-founded the Croatian Helsinki Committee, serving as president in 2007.[5] In 2012 he was elected as a new president of the "Council of the Croatian anti-fascists".[6]
