[edit] Childhood and Early life

Vladimir Kozina grew up in Slovenia. After college, he entered into a seminary, studying for the priesthood. One time, he returned home for a vacation. He had hardly arrived when Communists broke into the house and while he hid up in the attic, the communists murdered his mother and father.

Ordained a priest, he came to America where he began afresh his ministry. All this, and much more is described in detail in his book 'Communism as I Know It.'
