"Foibe to school"
I have a mailing list where I send my writings, usually on Kosovo and Serbia. This time I sent a not mine, but of which I endorse every word of Giliani Francis, a professor of school of Modena.
This intervention, which I invite you to read:
( http://prctavagnacco.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/cosi-non-va-chi-ha-paura-a-discutere-liberamente-sulle-foibe / )
has provoked many reactions, some positive, some negative. And some have asked to be removed from their list.
I am a bit 'jealous.
Evidently, in the writings that I send are not clear enough in my being biased. I do not put enough into question the myth of the Italians good people, to reinforce the myth even more now, with so many soldiers in the missions that still describes as "peace."
The reality, as usual, very simple, we do not want to hear anything about what the Italians have done (and commit) around the world, in various tragic theater of war. True, there have been many incidents beautiful, glorious, brave men, to tell around the fire, but do not change the context in which they occurred.
Revisionism son slogan shouted by the children of propaganda to watch or simply ignorance, not wanting further information or called into question, as with sinkholes, is doing the same thing with Ethiopia invaded by Mussolini. Books begin to appear speaking of the heroism of some Italians in Africa, of their having been abandoned, and so on. etc.., completely bypassing the historical reconstruction of the facts and fail to mention who was the victim and who the perpetrator. A little 'as with books such as "Mussolini Canal." It tends to diminish, if not hide, with responsibility for the action and epic romance.
That there is also a literature in support of the revisionist thesis on foibe is easily understandable and perhaps even correct, but we can not speak (and Rome, for example, it is impossible, at least in public), even a ' other version of the facts, documented and demonstrable thesis, says a lot about what we face. Pass this dramatic periodo dell'immediato dopoguerra come un attacco degli "slavi", comunisti e partigiani, contro gli italiani in quanto tali è fuorviante, serve a nascondere ciò di cui il fascismo si è reso complice, quando non diretto, tragico protagonista.
