  • Branko Lustig (born June 10, 1932) is a prominent Croatian film producer. He is the only Croatian person to have won two Academy Awards. Lustig was born in Osijek, Croatia (at that time Kingdom of Yugoslavia), to a Croatian-Jewish family. During World War II, as a child he was imprisoned for two years in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. Most of his family members perished in the death camps throughout Europe. Lustig began his film career in 1955 as an assistant director at Jadran Film, a Zagreb-based film production company. In 1956 he worked as a unit production manager on Ne okreći se sine (Don't Look Back, My Son), a notable World War II drama. In the 1980s Lustig worked on the miniseries The Winds of War (1983) and its sequel War and Remembrance (1988). He moved to the United States in 1988. Lustig 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 World War II). He received his second Oscar for the epic movie Gladiator about a struggle for power in Imperial Rome, in 2001. Other major Hollywood films that Lustig has worked on as a producer or executive producer include The Peacemaker (1997), Hannibal (2001), and Black Hawk Down (2001). Lustig received the Order of Duke Trpimir by President Franjo Tuđman for his work on the film. In 2008 he became the first filmmaker ever to be awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Zagreb. In 2008, Lustig helped establish an independent production company Six Point Films to produce "meaningful, though-provoking independent films".
