Dr Norm Marinovich is a Fremantle historian, and has written about the Croatian history of the area. He contributed to Guns, Graves and Dreaming in the early 1990s.[1]
From History of Croatians in Fremantle (Norm Marinovich):
Norm and his brother Mike, were born here in Fremantle, their parents having emigrated around 1928. But after the Second World War, like many Slavic people, the family travelled back to Yugoslavia out of concern for their families there, and to help rebuild the country after the war. The constraints of living under Communist rule however, were difficult to tolerate, and the opportunities in Australia offered better prospects for their sons’ future. The family returned to Western Australia in 1952.
