its not just that it's tricky to spell, but it was an odd choice when she had liege, brussels and paris(?) in other identities. ljubljana is really niche and at the time yugoslavia was closely observed by the west. why ljubljana? why with a weird name?
IMO the text in the image looks like (Serbo-)Croatian, as it has the ć which Slovenian lacks.
its from a croatian newspaper but at the time it was one country so they spoke about slovenia, serbia etc
if it is in fact an i not a j:
She still spelled it as someone who knows Slovene (Ljub....) So it doesn't really matter what the city would be spelled like in other languages. Remember she spelled Brussels in German form.

about the swiss banker thing, im really confused as to why it died down. it was announced like a case breaker and then nothing at all (also yugoslavia that allied with the nazis was a parliamentary monarchy and the partisan one was socialist and there was A lot going on there. i myself have several family members who have not been heard of since ww2. just disappeared)She still spelled it as someone who knows Slovene (Ljub....)

If there's a connection to WWII era Yugoslavia it's likely complicated. Yugoslavia was originally allied with the Axis powers in 1941 then declined transit through the country which pissed off Hitler so Germany,Italy,Hungary and Bulgaria carved it up as occupiers in retaliation. Then the Yugoslavian communist partisans under Tito joined the Russian allies fight to defeat the Axis. She could have been communist, she could have been anti-communist. Just like she could have been pro Israel, or she could have been anti-Israel if there is an Israeli connection in 1970 as many have theorized. When the test results of being born in pre WWII Nuremberg Nazi Germany first became public a lot of people thought she could have been Jewish, and was sent west to escape danger in Germany as a child. But she is H24 on the maternal side, this pretty much rules out being Jewish, since it is determined from the mother's side. However H24 can include Roma i.e. gypsies, and they also were in danger in Nazi Germany so that's more of a real possibility in my mind. But nothing can be completely ruled out in this case. She could have also had a German, or Axis member father loyal to the Nazis, and carried anti-Semitic sentiments her whole life. I never heard any follow up to this story, but it could make a lot of sense if true.

New leads in a famous unsolved case of a woman's death in Norway point to a notorious Geneva banker who funded terrorism and revered Hitler.
thoughts?
the second lj really does turn out as a li, just saw id written it like that without thinking (the j is shortened automatically for some reason when writing)

from what i could find online about the haplogroup it can only accurately be traced to its origin point along the path of the great migration east to west. there are indeed people in se europe who have it, but, like the podcast said, its inconclusive...
