ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Milica Vogt was seven years old when her home country began experiencing civil war. A native of Croatia, Milica "Vidić" Vogt was twelve when she fled the country in 1995 during "Operation Storm," also known as the ethnic cleansing of Serbs in Croatia. After living in a Serbian refugee camp for a few years, she emigrated to the United States in search of the best chance at safety, freedom, and prosperity. A scientist by training, she decided, after almost twenty years in corporate America, to dedicate her time and energy to writing her memoir and sharing her story of struggle, hope, and survival, with the intention of helping and inspiring others facing similar circumstances so they can claim their strength to overcome what may seem impossible at the moment. You can read about her story and learn more about Milica at https://milicavogt.com/ and through her book, "Under a Whistling Sky."
