Personal aspect on Trieste

My favourite thing about Trieste is probably the history behind it. If you walk through the town today you will think it's pretty, clean and modern. I can say that i agree with you, but its also very interesting to find out how it was and how it became how it is now. I have already spoken about 'La Risiera di San Sabba' and about how during World War II it was a concentration camp for all Jews, Slovenian, Partisans, Croatians and Italian anti-Fascist who were made to do forced labour. It was also an extermination camp and it owned a crematorium which was pulled down by the Germans' after the War so there could be no evidence that they killed all those innocent people. Trieste during the war was home to many killings, not only did it have the concentration and extermination camp it also had things called 'foibe'. Foibe means a deep hole, basically like a sinkhole. After the war they were used to put military and civilian people. Mainly though the Fascist people were put in there, and left to starve to death. Many people refer to this as another Holocaust, but on a smaller scale. It is infact like another Holocaust because people were being thrown into the foibe because of what nationality they were, and maybe even because what they looked like. The story has never quite been put straight. For about sixty years after the war it was nearly all silenced, but some people spoke out and slowly since then we have recovered information. The excact number of deaths is unsure. Its approximatly 5000, 570 but its argued that that sum is too high.
