Among the many tragedies of the past 150 years of Italy does not you can not remember the massacre (which also covered the Croatian and Slovenian) of Foibe .
In the period between October 1943 and May 1945 over 10 thousand Italians were killed by Communist partisans of Josip Broz (Marshal Tito's famous). Accurate figures on how many people have been killed in Foibe are not there (this is common to all the great extermination). In Foibe thrown fascists, not communists, socialists and communists in some disagreement with the Yugoslav regime as well as many common people who had only fault to be Italian. Foibe speak little, and only since 2004 has been established Memorial Day (February 10). There Foibe those who still deny that they ever existed in the past and also of Italian politicians tried to hide the truth. Palmiro Togliatti, now celebrated as a hero by the leftists, supported the brutal repression of Stalin in the Soviet Union and allowed the "Titoini" to occupy the territories of Venezia Giulia and massacred all those people. The Foibe are a small but important link in the chain of violence that links the many massacres committed in the name of communism . A tragedy, an indelible stain that the Holocaust is no less important.
After days of harsh imprisonment, during which we were often beaten and savagely patimmo hunger, one morning before dawn, I heard one of our torturers tell everyone "do soon, because we start now." In fact, shortly after we were taken in six, tied together by a single wire, in addition to what we held hands entwined behind his back in the direction of Rasa. Wore only trousers and feet had only socks. A kilometer walk and stopped at the foot of a hill where, through a wire, we were hanging on his hands tied to a boulder at least 20 k. We were pushed to the brink of a foiba, whose throat was opened eerily black. One of us, half stupefied by the abuse suffered, he fell screaming into the void, on its own initiative. A partisan then, standing with machine guns pointed at a rock side c'impose to follow their example. Since I did not move, I fired. But now the miracle happened: the bullet hurt me instead broke the wire that held the stone bound, so that when I fell in foiba, the stone was rolled away from me. The cavity had a width of about 10 m. and a depth of 15 until the surface of stagnant water on the bottom. I touched the bottom and not falling back to the surface could hide under a rock. Soon after I saw four other comrades fall hit by gunfire and felt the words "throw them again here, is more comfortable," spoken by one of the assassins. Shortly after a bomb was thrown into the cavity that erupted underwater crushing with air pressure against the rock. Towards evening I managed to climb the steep wall and gain the countryside, where I remained for four days and four nights in a row, hidden in a hole. He returned secretly to my country, for fear of falling into the clutches of my persecutors, fled in Pula. And only then I could say we are truly saved. (John Radeticchio, a survivor)
