February 10: day of remembrance of the exodus of Italians in Istria, Dalmatia and Kvarner Venezia Giulia and the innocent victims of sinkholes at the hands of ethnic hatred and the Communist Tito. 350,000 Italians forced to leave, poor and persecuted, their lands have always Italian. Thousands of
murdered, thrown with inhuman cruelty in sinkholes, caves hidden nell'aspra karst rocks, from the fury of cruel militias comuniste.Ricordo the thousands and thousands of men, women, elderly and children, left to die in a dark foiba, buried living among the dead. Why are the bullets. I remember teachers, priests, soldiers, workers, students, tortured and killed by Yugoslav communist militias in schools, in the street, at church, at home. Corpses scattered mercilessly throughout the northeastern border of Italy. I remember young women tortured with hot pincers, locked in iron cages, raped and exposed to the mockery of Tito's men. I remember those perpetrators still unpunished, acquitted of murder for having worked in the territory "extra-" or never even tried. I remember the desperation of 350 000 Italian exiles in Rijeka, Istria, Dalmatia. Forced to flee their homes, their lands, their memories rooted in centuries. I remember thousands of people disappeared into thin air that Italy, Europe and the world have pretended to forget.
In their remembrance, respect, prayer.
