Elza Kučera
Elza Kučera was a Croatian librarian who served as the deputy director of the National and University Library until her retirement in 1944. She was recognized for her professional contributions and national merits by Ante Pavelić, the leader of the Ustaša regime, who promoted her to a higher pay grade in 1943. Recently, her name has been brought into the spotlight due to the controversial decision by the Zagreb City Assembly to name a park after her, amidst debates about her connections to the Ustaša movement.
