20 minutes agoForgotten Staka family massacre in Kosovo capital
Periskopi(3 months ago)
(3 months ago)In Pristina's turbulent history, many serious events have remained in shadow. Almost unmarked by the institutions or historians of this time. The institutions have also been irate to these events. The last recorded by professor and historian, now late Muhamet Pirraku, in the book Martyrs of Ethnic Albania before death. [...]
The last recorded by the professor and historian, now late Muhamet Pirrac, in the book Martyrs of Albanian Etnik prior to his death, has marked the Maccabre massacre against the Staka family from then Serbian communism.
It has been described as one of the worst events in the last 100 years in which six men of this family were killed.
Also, Serbian fascist Communism has also burned and destroyed their church, which was in the centre of the capital, which through photographs is evidenced to have been there today is the statue of hero Zahir Pajaziti.
This massacre was a sacrifice and resistance story that deserves to take its place in collective consciousness.
These six men of the Staca family, according to the book of Pirrac, were brutally murdered in 1944 л Stack Mark Mirdita (1869;1944), Mark Stack Mirdita (1903); 1944), Luz Stack Mirdita (1912)1944), Stack Mark Staka (1923,1944), Mikel Stack Mirdita (1916,1944), Rock Mark Staka (192508)1944).
Serbian cruelty did not end there.
The head of the family, Stake Mark Mirdita, after the inhuman torture during which no words were delivered, was likewise killed by putting him alive in the oven of a local Serb. Burned him alive.
Tragedy occurred only for one reason, the commitment of the Staka Family to the Albanian national issue.
At the top of this family is now alive Pashk Staka, professor and former chairman of the Albanian National Democratic Party (PNDSH), who lives and operates in Pristina.
What makes this story even more serious, however, is the paradox of our time. The building where this crime took place still exists, although in a ruined state. In spite of that, responsible institutions have taken no concrete steps to protect or mark this country as a milestone.
In a society intended to build the future on values of justice and memory, silence of such events is unacceptable.
Putting a memorial tablet, restoring its object or transforming it into a memorial space would be necessary steps to honor the victims and preserve historical truth. Because a nation that forgets its sacrifices risks losing awareness of its identity and roots.
