About the Author

Metod M. Milač was born in Prevalje, Slovenia (the former Yugoslavia). He received his high school education at Bishop’s Gymnasium at Sentvid and at the Classical Gymnasium in Ljubljana, where he graduated in June 1944. In July 1950, Milač immigrated to the United States under the Displaced Persons Act of 1948, which admitted 200,000 displaced persons from the refugee camps in Europe.
Over a period of twelve years, while working in various factory jobs in Cleveland, Milač continued his education, eventually receiving his B.M. in music theory and his M.M. in musicology from the Cleveland Institute of Music and his M.A. in library science from Western Reserve University. In 1962, he began a career as a librarian at Syracuse University, where he also continued his studies, receiving his PhM and his PhD in humanities.
Since his retirement from Syracuse University in 1992, Milač has devoted most of his time to writing his memoirs: Resistance, Imprisonment, and Forced Labor (Lang, 2002), which describes his experiences during World War II, and this volume, which offers a retrospective of his life in America. He is also the author of Kdo solze naše posuši: Doživetja slovenskega dijaka med drugo svetovno vojno (2003).
