45 years later, a spiritually tormented smuggler reveals his shocking secret life. Born in a refugee camp, the author sidestepped hallucinogens, gangsters, law enforcement and conmen, graduating from pot dealer to personal gopher for a world-class smuggler to an undercover operative for an “adjunct arm” of the U.S. government. Marjan’s path to redemption took him to places he really didn’t need to be long before he arrived.

00:00In summary, can you explain what happened to your family in Slovenia?
00:06Well, my family had been living a very peaceful life on a farm in the Julian Alps.
00:12Very beautiful place. The Julian Alps is where the Sound of Music was filmed.
00:18And on April 6, 1941, the Nazis invaded Slovenia and severely upended everybody's lives, including my family's.
00:27They burned books, they killed people, especially leaders and teachers.
00:33And they went as far as even chiseling epitaphs off tombstones in their attempt to completely destroy the culture.
00:41Hitler then used Slovenia as a thoroughfare to Mussolini and the fascists in Italy.
00:47Wanting to remain free, my dad and his three brothers joined the underground.
00:52And when the Nazis were finally defeated, then the communists slid into the vacuum.
00:58And took over Slovenia.
01:00My dad and uncles hid deep in the Julian Alps and in southern Austria and fought with the freedom fighters off and on for many years.
01:08Two of my uncles died during that campaign.
01:11My uncle Ludwig was shot point blank in his prison cell.
01:15My grandmother was thrown in jail because she wouldn't divulge the whereabouts of her sons.
01:20And she was raped continually for over a year by her communist guards.
01:26My grandfather was seriously injured in a communist work camp and was never the same.
01:32Somehow, my dad and uncle survived and ended up in the refugee camp where I was born.
01:38My uncle eventually brought my grandmother to Canada where he lovingly tended to her for the rest of her life.
01:46600 Devils by Marian can be found on Amazon Books in paperback, e-book or audio book.
01:52Do you have any questions.
01:53So my father went on Amazon Books inagi.
01:57You can read a comment.
02:01So I was basically the one who won't be driving and traveling all the time after each other.
02:03Okay.
02:05And then I always thought, thatsembling all the time whether it's at the burning of Allah to the other side.
02:08Maybe there's something I wanted to remember because there was something I wanted to be fishing here than Q years ago.
02:12So I look forward to mylk and remember to learn exactly what it was to be here like.
