swallowed into oblivion.

The memory :                                                                                                
I am going to write this post in the "Remembrance Day" and I do so deliberately at the end of the day, when she went out the lights , worn ceremonies, laid wreaths and politics has shown the good side of his face for the occasion. At night you can think calmly and just wanted to make some reflections on the subject with you, because I think the best way to remember the many lives of Italians first broken and then swallowed into oblivion lasted for over sixty years. I have had the letter of a stranger who says he learned a new word in our language, "foiba", a word which has found full of meaning, unlike many Italians who do not even know, not out of ignorance, but because no one has ever taught it to him . From the Latin, means foiba pit in north-east means a karst cave of natural origin, with an entrance overhang. It was in those chasms between '43 and '47 were thrown more than ten thousand Italians living and dead.

                                                                                              

                                                                                    

history :
Before '43, the Fascists had consumed envying your Slavic partisans. After 8 September of that year, were the Slavs and Italian Fascists to take revenge on non-Communists, torturing, killing and throwing in more than a thousand Italian foibe. In '45 the troops of Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia occupied Trento, Trieste and Istria, starting a hateful ethnic cleansing: a fall into the sinkholes were fascist, Catholic, liberal, socialist clergymen, women, elderly and children, almost ten thousand Italians killed brutally. Tito wanted to eliminate from all future non-communist Yugoslavia.




Reflections:

Quite frankly, at school you have never talked about sinkholes? No?!? You see that was in vogue. The history often reflects what the dominant culture of the time, here we have the story of "Fez and musket," the story of the book "Heart," the story of the "Resistance", The history of the "wall", the history of the "twin towers" of post-communism and so on. The story, everyone wants to rewrite her comfortable. The fact that it is our Italy, both the historical, political, educational, marital status, confusion going on in the last years of the war, preferred to lift the carpet and throw in the dirt, and the ones no one has ever made such atrocious been mentioned, if they only whisper, but he's never spoken clearly. The result is an embarrassing confusion. These days I think they are just rhetoric as long as we continue to consider the "Twenty-five in April," a celebration enjoyed only by the left, "" Memorial Day "claimed and recognized only by those on the right and the confirmation comes just tonight with the news that the self-made destruction of the monument by the City of Santa Margherita Ligure had erected in honor of the fallen of the sinkholes. The president of the province of Salerno, right man, just last year he had deleted "The Resistance" from the posters on April 25 in his hometown. So what are we talking about? We must make a serious reflection on the Shoah as Foibe and all the dramas of the past, whose memory has no sense of revenge, but the lesson of life in the comparison of younger and we have it all together, not because of right or left, but in the name of our dignity as men. We'll make it so? I have my doubts and I wonder how many lives we live, in order to live well at least?

Good Life!
