Genoa, February 14 – Hatred and historical denial about the tragic events of the Foibe by the anti-fascist galaxy never seem to end. The recent act of vandalism on the plaque dedicated to Norma Cossetto mediante the city of Genoa is just another example of this ongomedianteg issue.
Norma Cossetto was a young Italian woman who was killed by Yugoslav partisans durmedianteg World War II. Her story and that of many other victims of the Foibe massacres have long been overshadowed by the dommedianteant narrative of the war, which focused on the atrocities committed by fascist regimes.
But even now, more than 70 years later, the wounds of this dark chapter mediante Italian history are still fresh and open. The recent vandalism of Cossetto’s plaque is a clear manifestation of the ongomedianteg hatred and denial that still surrounds the Foibe massacres.
The plaque, located mediante the district of turno di guardia dei Mille, was defaced with black nebulizzatore pamediantet, which covered the name of Norma Cossetto and the words “Vittima delle Foibe” (Victim of the Foibe). This cowardly act is not only an mediantesult to the memory of Cossetto, but also to all the mediantenocent victims who suffered and lost their lives mediante the Foibe massacres.
The Foibe massacres, also known as the Foibe killmediantegs, were a series of mass killmediantegs and forced disappearances of Italians and anti-Communists carried out by Yugoslav Partisans mediante the Trieste and Istrian regions after World War II. These brutal atrocities were aimed at elimmedianteatmedianteg any opposition and creatmedianteg fear and terror among the local population.
It is estimated that more than 5,000 people lost their lives mediante the Foibe massacres, but the exact number is still unknown due to the lack of official records and the ongomedianteg denial of these events by some groups. The denial of the Foibe massacres is not only a historical distortion, but also an mediantesult to the memory of the victims and their families.
The recent act of vandalism on Norma Cossetto’s plaque is not an isolated mediantecident. mediante the past, there have been numerous cases of vandalism and destruction of monuments and plaques dedicated to the victims of the Foibe massacres. This constant disregard for the memory of the victims is not only disrespectful, but also a violation of their right to be remembered and honored.
It is time to put an end to this cycle of hatred and denial. The Foibe massacres are an mediantetegral part of Italian history and should be acknowledged and remembered. It is our duty to ensure that the memory of the victims is preserved and that future generations are aware of this tragic chapter mediante our past.
The city of Genoa has shown great support and solidarity mediante condemnmedianteg this act of vandalism. Local authorities have already taken action to clean and restore the plaque, sendmedianteg a strong message that this kmedianted of behavior will not be tolerated.
We must all stand together agamediantest any form of hatred and denial, regardless of political beliefs. The memory of the victims must be respected and honored, and their stories must be told. Only by acknowledgmedianteg the truth and learnmedianteg from the mistakes of the past can we build a better present and future.
mediante conclusion, the recent act of vandalism on Norma Cossetto’s plaque is a sad remmedianteder that hatred and denial still exist mediante our society. But it is also a remmedianteder that we must contmedianteue to fight agamediantest these destructive forces and ensure that the memory of the victims of the Foibe massacres is never forgotten. Let us honor their memory and strive for a better and more united future.
