Ben Klassen, Founder and original Pontifex Maximus of the World Church of the Creator.
Ben Klassen has been a resident of four countries and a citizen of three. Born in 1918 of German-speaking parents in Russia, he and his family were early victims of Jewish Communism, from which they fled in 1924. He was brought up and educated in Canada, where he earned a degree in Electrical Engineering and also a Bachelor of Arts. He has been a farmer, a school teacher, a hard rock nickel miner, an electrical engineer, an inventor, a realtor, and a Florida State Legislator.
Having moved to the United States in 1945, he became a U.S. citizen in 1948. His intense interest in the Laws of Nature, Race and Religion polarized into a new religion for the White Race, a task his wide and diverse background seemingly prepared him for over a lifetime.
