Nacionalna i sveučilišna knjižnica

University Library holds all of the inter-war Jewish journals from Zagreb, and Sarajevo ("Židov"; "Jevrejska tribuna"). The rare editions section in "the treasury" (trezor) hold personal and business correspondence of a prominent Zagreb Zionist lawyer, Lavoslav Schick (Šik), killed in the Holocaust (Jasenovac concentration camp), like most Jewish lawyers and jurists who lived in Zagreb and were arrested for the first time in 1941.
