Croatian journalist and poet
Jerko (Jerolim) Skračić (13 May 1918 – 1945 or 1947) was a Croatian journalist and poet.
Biography.
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".
He was released in 1942 and lived shortly in Berlin. Following his return to Croatia, he became the editor of a weekly newspaper "Hrvatski tjednik" in Zagreb, and the director of a radio station in Sarajevo. He wrote for "Hrvatski krugoval", "Glasnik sv. Ante" and other magazines.
His death is disputed: some sources claim he was killed on his way to Bleiburg, while others claim he was imprisoned and died two years later.
