The communist ideology was the most dreadful in human history
Adam Droppa was born on June 10, 1929, in Bodice, in the district of Liptovský Mikuláš. He comes from a peasant family. His parents owned a large homestead, which was heavily affected by the communist regime. In 1951 Droppa enlisted in the Auxiliary Technical Battalion, where he spent 34 months. In 952 state authorities fabricated a trial against his father, who was accused of a wilful failure to deliver quotas, thus „harming the working class and kowtowing to American imperialism“. His father was arrested on September 9, 1952, and sentenced to five years of imprisonment, forfeiture of property, and a ten thousand crown fine. The following year the family was forcibly moved to Bohemia. After returning from the Auxiliary Technical Battalion, Adam Droppa got married and moved to the village of Svätý Kríž. He trained in the leather industry and worked for the Leather Manufacturer Company in Liptovský Mikuláš. In 1955 he petitioned for his father‘s release. One year later, his father was released from Jáchymov. After the fall of communism, Droppa helped establish the District Association of Auxiliary Technical Battalions in Ružomberok, Liptovský Mikuláš, and Liptovský Hrádok.
