Derviš M. Korkut: A Biography
A short biography of Derviš M. Korkut (1888-1969), the Bosnian intellectual. A profile in courage. The year 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of Derviš M. Korkut’s death. Korkut survived two empires (the Ottomans and the Austro-Hungarians), two kingdoms (the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia), the Nazi-puppet Independent State of Croatia, and, finally, Communist Yugoslavia. Half a century after his death, a publication dedicated to the man behind the rescue of the Sarajevo Haggadah seems overdue.
