75 vjet më parë, më 18 nëntor 1943, shënon një nga ngjarjet më tragjike në qytetin e Gjirokastrës. Forcat partizane të komanduara nga Bedri Spahiu e Shemsi Totozani hynë në Gjirokastër dhe morën nga shtëpitë individë që njiheshin për prirje nacionaliste dhe antikomuniste duke i ekzekutuar njeri pas tjetrit pranë Gjimnazit, dhe i trupat e tyre i lanë të shtrirë në rrugë për të krijuar terror në popullsinë e Gjirokastrës. Një ngjarje kaq e rëndë është lënë në heshtje gjatë reggjimit komunist, aq sa duket si e pabesueshme që ka ndodhur, meqë shumë pak është folur për të. Me kujtesën e kësaj ngjarjeje i bëjmë homazhin e merituar viktimave të njërës prej masakrave më të përgjakshme të Luftës Civile në Shqipërinë e LIIB.
