It was this personal note. I feel. that invited me to write to you. Not only am I of a Slovene background. but a Slovenian who. with my mother. three brothers and a sister. came to United States 7 years ago. a refugee from Communist Yugoslavia. to be reunited with my father after a 10year separation. My father. an electro- and hydroengineer. an editor and a director of Slovenian democratic newspaper in Yugoslavia. had been arrested by Gestapo during the war. and taken to a German concentration camp. After the war he stayed in Austria and worked for the United States. where he arrived 2 years before the rest of the family.
