Valencia’s Luka Bozic Sparks Outrage After Posting Hitler Book Cover
Croatian forward Luka Bozic, who plays for Valencia in the EuroLeague, drew criticism after posting an Instagram story showing a book cover with Adolf Hitler’s image and a smiling emoji. The post came shortly after Israel faced Croatia in World Cup Basketball qualifying, a game Israel lost, and the article noted Bozic had played against Israel in that matchup.
After receiving numerous reactions, Bozic followed up with another story to clarify that he did not intend to send any message about the book. He said he was asked to remove the earlier post and stressed that he had only shared a picture of what he was reading.
“I did not mean to express any particular opinion, I only posted a picture of the book,” Bozic wrote. “If I offended anyone, I am sorry. I simply like reading somewhat different literature.” The incident was reported on June 13, 2026, at 23:00.
