A Love Story Amidst War: From Fleeing Arranged Marriage to Egg Farming in the United States

Updated: Aug 11

Imagine the world around you crumbling under the weight of war, and amidst the chaos, all you have is the unwavering love of another soul. This is the tale based on the true events of Nick and Theresa whose lives were intertwined with destiny, leading them through the harrowing paths of WWII, displacement, and ending up as simple egg farmers in a foreign land.




Escaping Fate

It all began as a story right out of a romantic novel. Nick and Theresa, deeply in love, decided to flee their homes to escape an arranged marriage that threatened to tear them apart. Little did they know that fate had other plans for them. As they journeyed through what lay ahead for them, hope was their only companion.


Embracing Turmoil

Their trials seemed never-ending as the looming shadows of WWII descended upon them. Nick was conscripted into the Yugoslav army, leaving Theresa alone to navigate the birth of their first child during such treacherous times. Separated by circumstances beyond their control, their love stood resilient, a beacon of light in the darkest of times.


The Road to Refuge

During the turmoil of war in their homeland, fate separated them, leading Theresa and Nick's parents to a farm in Austria. Amid anguish and sorrow, they held onto their love for one another and their dear ones, deriving strength from their unity. Each day brought fresh obstacles, yet they soldiered on with unwavering determination.


A New Beginning

When the war finally came to an end, and Nick was reunited with his family, he steered them to a place of solace in refugee camps in Salzburg, Germany, but they knew they had to build a new life from the ashes of the past. With hope in their hearts, they decided to immigrate to the United States, a land brimming with promises of a better tomorrow. Little did they know that their journey was far from over.


From War to Farm

Arriving in the land of dreams, Nick and Theresa ventured into a new chapter of their lives - first by paying off their debt for passage by working tirelessly on a farm in the South. Once the debt was satisfied, they moved to the Midwest. Starting from scratch, they invested in an egg farm and toiled tirelessly, nurturing the land and tending to their flock of chickens. The sprawling fields and the fresh morning dew became their new canvas, painting a picture of resilience and perseverance.


Amid chaos and uncertainty, love prevailed. The couple's journey from fleeing an arranged marriage to becoming successful egg farmers is a testament to the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. As they look back on their tumultuous past, they find solace in the simple joys of life and the bond that stood the test of time.


So, next time you crack open an egg for breakfast, remember the story of this couple who turned their hardships into a flourishing farm, proving that love can conquer even the darkest of days.


Remember, wars may come and go, but the tales of love and survival endure for eternity.
