From Communist Oppression to Champion of American Freedom

1967

Born in Communist Albania

Peter Lumaj’s extraordinary journey from communist Albania to a life of opportunity in the United States is a testament to resilience, courage, and a profound belief in freedom. Born in 1967, Peter grew up under one of the most oppressive regimes in Eastern Europe, where religion was outlawed, personal freedoms were crushed, and dissent was met with imprisonment or execution. His family practiced their Christian faith in secret, a dangerous act of defiance that instilled in Peter a deep respect for sacrifice and conviction.

1989

Escaped to America

In 1989, after being arrested and tortured for participating in anti-government protests, Peter made a daring escape with his brothers. They crossed treacherous mountain terrain and spent months in refugee camps before finding sanctuary in the United States.
Once in America, Peter embraced the values he had long admired. He worked as a porter and doorman while learning English and pursuing his education. He graduated cum laude from the City University of New York with a degree in Political Science, obtained his Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from the University of Wolverhampton, London, UK, and later earned his Master of Laws (LLM) from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.
