Dassamir Hysen Kovaci returns to Albania after 27 years. In less than three decades, we meet again. Our first meeting was a few days after his release from prison in 1991. I was nine years old. He entered our family, smiling, handsome, full of wealth and pride. The lover, thanks to the closeness [...]

Dasamiri is the son of poet Bajram Hysen Kovaci, anti-communist by Dibra sentenced by the regime to 25 years of freedom, for agitation and propaganda. Ifete Kovac's son and Teuta's brother and Arben Kovac, who were exiled to Tirana's deep and isolated village of Vrap.

A family destroyed psychologically, physically, and morally because of beliefs against the regime. Love was a talent in painting, a dream that never came true. It's a fancy painting talent, the best, but that today's only memory of a sad past.

The plan for the murder of Enver Hoxha Dashi, as we call him in the family, suffered 16 years in the Spaci prison, sentenced a few years later, following the arrest and imprisonment of father Bajram Kovaci, the respected poet and personality.

David, the family's eldest son Kovac, realized in his childhood that the communist system was knowingly killing his family, economy, and future.

So he tells me today after 27 years, the reason for the arrest planned to kill Enver Hoxha on November 29, 1973. He prepared physically, exerted himself for about three years, thinking about everything - with the sole goal - the elimination of the dictator. He did not share the plan with anyone because as a persecuted family with the regime's condemned father, he was surrounded by regime informers.

He'd put dynamite in the concrete blocks where the dictatorship would stay during parades. Even a plan B. He'd try to kill himself with the dictator. But unfortunately his plan failed in the last few moments by security agents.

On February 22, 1974, David was arrested on charges of attempted Enver Hoxha's murder.

It suffered 16 years in a row, physical violence, beatings, torture in frosts and temperatures, attempted murder in mining galleries, destructions of “enemies” spies within prison, forced family denial, education and contempt of people.

Torture "One of the tortures" was the touch of a stick that was placed in our throat “- Shows Dassi, “s cut so hard that you could die in the country. They put it on your chest and tied it to the top of your throat to the point of your being unable to lower your head, since your death was certain. They turned our heads toward the burning summer sun. Much torture. Another time, I was asked to escape. My prisonmate was looking for him. I told him, I don't escape because I have my mother, my sister, my brother in exile. What will happen to them? I couldn't leave. Then I don't know how he convinced me, and I had a hill in front of me. I thought the area was clean. I couldn't see anyone. After walking toward the hill, I saw a poison glow and realized that it was a trap to kill me. The sun shine on my helmet saved my life for the last few times inside the” prison, he calmly confessed to me.

I have visited the House of Leaf, it tells me. I've seen my name and my father's on many names of political people. I also noticed a Pyramid illustrating the government of the day. I noticed that the pyramid on the top had Enver Hoxha as head of state at the time. Enver Hoxha was not to be illustrated today at the top of that pyramid, there at the House of the Leaf, his Pyramid must be overthrown”, reports indignantly.

Baby Reminders With Love

I remember our first date. I was nine years old and had not yet realized what was happening to the Communist system. Never was the dictator's white lime bust held in our family, no pictures of him, no red cover book, no sign identifying the politics of time, besides household furniture that appeared in each family, with modest treatment from my father's golden hands.

This door was open to the man who symbolized in my eyes, as a child, sacrifice, patience, suffering, and wisdom.

The lover came out of that prison door that took his life, youth, family, and the future, with great knowledge in 9 foreign languages.

He returned smiling, even today his smile has not been lost.

Amazing, but the truth is this. Today, Dash has returned to Albania after a long stay of over two decades in the United States.

With a desire to live and contribute home, he confessed another hidden passion of his nature. And on this story I tearfully had the pleasure of talking over...
