I can only imagine the emotions you felt as a woman standing up there ❤️‍🔥

[authentictuscany]

Very emotional! Thank you for sharing this little bit of history as tragic as the event was. It's true what Katina said about us being extremely privileged as women to be born and to live in countries without the suffering of war. Sadly, women and children are still suffering around the world today - this monument is a tribute to them all!

to remember those who fell for the country...for freedom...for the flag...those who gave their lives for their ideas...and those who stood where everything went dark. ..To remember.
Honor and glory to the heroes
Long live Greece

Thank you!
I was born and raised close to this area, my parents and my grandparents too. I can see this mountain from my bedroom's window /balcony when I live there during ny vacations and weekends.
In fact my grandpa from my mother comes from this place / village.

Respect to all those brave women & children..
similar kind of events happened in India, we call it Jauhar, it was practice of mass self-immolation by women and girls to avoid capture, enslavement and r3pe by islamic invaders when facing certain defeat during a war.

Albanians also discovered Pythagoras's diatonic musical scale. Or Pythagoras was Albanian as well? Would you like to analyze his name to find out what it means?

[Abernis]

I find the monument very large - too large - but thank you for reminding us 👍

[klaudiaferhati]

This is Suliotes of Albania and the dance that you are dancing is Albanian steps. Now is considered greece.

very little talked about piece of history. Too bad the modern world is gutless and soulless. I will choose to die rather than comply when push comes to shove.
