Dr. Alexander Sas-Jaworsky was born on June 11, 1916 in the Ukraine. He attended the Academy of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Lwiw (Lemburg) and began his veterinary practice in June, 1939. During World War II he lived under first Soviet and then Nazi control. The Nazis impressed him into service and carried him westward as the army retreated. The end of the war found Sas-Jaworsky in Austria, where he met Natalie Kulchycky in a Bavarian displaced persons camp. They married in a civil ceremony on December 24, 1948 and in a church ceremony on January 8, 1949. On September 19, 1949, Dr. Sas-Jaworsky and his wife immigrated to the United States. By 1951 they had settled in Abbeville, Louisiana where Dr. Sas-Jaworsky established a veterinary practice, and they raised their five children.

Dr. Sas-Jaworsky is best known, however, for his outspoken political views. He was a staunch anti-communist and made a career of spreading that viewpoint. He enunciated his opinions in frequent speeches, numerous published opinion-editorial essays, a newspaper column, and in two books. Dr. Sas-Jaworsky also gained fame as a successful contestant on the $64,000 Question television game show in the late 1950s.
