| Summary: | The enigma of who Lujo Mor was has been waiting for an answer for a long time. The idea to research his life and work arose during the collection of relevant data on the existence and operations of the Association of Banks from its establishment in 1921 to 2006, for the purposes of writing a book about this banking association entitled The Association of Banks: The Common House of All Banks (Udruženje banaka: Zajednička kuća svih banaka). The data available at the time only pointed to the fact that Lujo Mor was Secretary General of the Association of Banks from 1926 to 1941. The result of many years of research and collection of available data on his life points to an unjustly forgotten sailor, banker, humanist, sports lover, honorary Secretary General whose work contributed to the reputation of the Association of Banks, whose work was rightly recognised by King Alexander I Karađorđević by awarding him, and others deserving, with the Orders of St. Sava and the White Eagle. His successful career was accompanied by numerous activities outside the Association, all with an obvious desire for the Kingdom of Yugoslavia to be a prosperous country in which its inhabitants would live in peace and prosperity. All this was interrupted by the Second World War, in which, at the beginning of the war, Lujo Mor's life was cruelly cut short by the Gestapo in the Banjica Concentration Camp. |
