were not themselves Holocaust survivors, which is a requirement for inclusion in the list; and that "persons who assisted Jews and simultanesously collaborated or were linked with a fascist regime which took part in the Nazi-orchestrated persectution of Jews may be disqualified for the Righteous title" . Primary sources Although Stepinac's life has been the subject of much writing, there are very few primary sources for researchers to draw upon, the main one being the Katolički List, a diocesan weekly journal. Stepinac's diary, discovered in 1950 (too late to be used in his trial), was confiscated by the Yugoslav authorities. Franjo Tudjman returned the diary to the Church in the early 1990s. Croatian historian, Zvonimir Despot, notes that 30 year's later the Church has still not published the diary. Juraj Batelja, the official Church Postulator advocating Stepinac's canonization, has for years selectively used parts of the diary for his books, without other researchers having an opportunity to see the original text. Despot notes that Stepinac did not write the diary as a private person, but as the Archbishop, and the diary is an extremely important source for Croatian history. Despot concludes by asking, “why is the diary kept secret to this day, under lock and key? Who is hiding what and why?” Father Josip Vranković kept a diary from December 1951 to 10 February 1960, recording what Stepinac related to him each day; that diary was used by Franciscan Aleksa Benigar to write a biography of Stepinac, but Benigar refused to share the diary with any other researcher. The diocesan archives were also made available to Benigar, but no other researcher. The official transcript of Stepinac's trial Suđenje Lisaku, Stepincu etc. was published in Zagreb in 1946, but contains substantial evidence of alteration. Alexander's Triple Myth therefore relies on the Yugoslav and foreign press—particularly Vjesnik and Narodne Novine—as well as Katolički List''. All other primary sources available to researchers only indirectly focus on Stepinac.
