Branko Lustig

Branko Lustig (born June 10, 1932) is a prominent film producer. He is the only Croatian person to have won two Academy Awards.

Lustig was born in Osijek, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (today in Croatia), to a Jewish family. During World War II, as a child he was imprisoned for two years in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen.

He received his first Oscar in 1993 for the production of Schindler's List, a film based on the novel of Thomas Keneally (which is, in turn, based on the true-life story of a German manufacturer who saved hundreds of Jews during WW2). He also received the Order of Prince Trpimir by President Franjo Tudjman for his work on the film.

He received his second Oscar for the epic movie Gladiator about a struggle for power in Imperial Rome, in 2001.
