In those days the news spread everywhere: the Americans were liberating Italy with the help of the partisan gangs and the Nazi army was in scattered retreat. But my parents had run away before, and I didn't even know where, exactly. It was not a normal family, mine: my father was Jewish, and this was enough to justify the flight in the previous months. Now, I had no more news of them, and when I got home, I had the gun in my hand and a bad foreboding in my mind ...
Manoir de Kermarker ( Maner Kervarker), à Ploëzal : inscription MH par arrêté du 29 décembre 1927. période de construction XV-XVIIe siècle
Fleuves - Valse à Olga youtu.be/1K5MXObX3Gc
Ce manoir existait dès 1280. Propriété de Geffroy Hingant en 1339 et de Derrien Hingant en 1363. En 1484, il passe par mariage à Chrétien de Pommorio, puis en 1532 à Henri de Kercabin (ou Kernabin). Reconstruit en 1597 par Jean de Kercabin (conseiller au parlement de Bretagne), le manoir passe ensuite aux mains des Le Gonidec de Tressan, par alliance de Marguerite de Kercabin, vers le début du XVIIIème siècle. Le manoir a été dévasté lors des guerres de la Ligue comme semble l'insinuer un document conservé aux archives d'Ille-et-Vilaine : " Monsieur de Kercabin ayant appris vers la fin de l'année 1589 que les ligueurs se proposaient d'incendier ses deux maisons de Kermarquer et de Kerbezrou, fit transporter à Tréguier la majeure partie du mobilier des deux habitations. Mais une troupe de partisans pénètre à Tréguier et tout ce que Monsieur de Kercabin avait cru mettre à l'abri tombe entre leurs mains ... ". Le manoir est reconstruit en 1597 par Jean de Kercabin. En 1700, par alliance de Marguerite de Kercabin, le domaine passe aux Le Gonidec de Tressan, autre famille de parlementaires bretons.

Belorusskaya (Russian: Белору́сская) is a station on the Moscow Metro's Koltsevaya (Circle) line. It is named after the nearby Belorussky Rail Terminal. It opened in 1952, serving briefly as the terminus of the line before the circle was completed in 1954. Designed by Ivan Taranov, Z. Abramova, A. Markova, and Ya. Tatarzhinskaya, the station has low, white marble pylons, an elaborately patterned plaster ceiling, light fixtures supported by ornate scroll-shaped brackets, and a variety of decorations based on Belarusian themes.
Overhead, twelve octagonal mosaics by G. Opryshko, S. Volkov, and I. Morozov depict Belarusian daily life, and underfoot the platform is intricately tiled to resemble a Belarusian quilt. A sculptural group by sculptor Matvey Manizer called "Soviet Belorussia" used to stand at the end of the platform before it was removed in 1998 to make room for a second entrance. Another sculptural group, "Belarusian Partisans," by S.M. Orlov, S. M. Rabinovich, and I. A. Slonim, is located in the passage between this station and Belorusskaya–Radialnaya.
The station's original vestibule is located at the southwest corner of Belorusskaya Square. A newer entrance opens onto Butirsky Val Street.
In 2002, a bomb exploded under one of Belorusskaya's marble benches, injuring seven people.
I think the country and the world could use you right about now. We are being torn apart by partisan politics at home and war in Ukraine. Joe Biden needs a new backbone to make the tough decisions that need to be made before it becomes too late. Nobody likes a weak, ineffective president, especially with a lunatic ex-president running amuck and on the loose. A supreme court trying to turn back the hand of time. Taking away people's right to choose. What's next? When did we become a banana republic? Both Democrats and Republicans have become a real joke. The country is in desperate need of real leadership? and no one over the age of 65 should be allowed to run for president.

Wzgórze Partyzantów (Partisan Hill) is one of the few remaining ancient fortifications that once protected the Old Town from invasion. Built between 1594 and 1598, and originally awarded the name Bastion Sakwowy (Saddlebag Bastion).

La cathédrale Saint-Dié de Saint-Dié-des-Vosges est une cathédrale catholique romaine du département des Vosges. Elle forme avec l'église Notre-Dame de Galilée et le cloître qui les relie, un ensemble architectural remarquable, véritable groupe cathédral, riche d'apports successifs et de styles différents, mais unifié par une couleur caractéristique, celle du grès rose des Vosges.
L’origine de l’église de Saint-Dié remonte à Déodat (Dié ou Dieudonné), moine irlandais qui fonda au VIIe siècle la cité qui porte encore son nom. D'abord église abbatiale, elle devint la collégiale d’un chapitre de chanoines séculiers.
Façonnée au fil des siècles, du Moyen-Âge à nos jours, la cathédrale Saint-Dié est un élément incontournable du patrimoine déodatien. L'édifice mêle harmonieusement les styles (roman, gothique, classique, moderne, contemporain), témoins de l'évolution de l'art sacré à Saint-Dié-des-Vosges et des vicissitudes de l'histoire. Les parties les plus anciennes de la cathédrale datent des XIIe et XIIIe siècles : nef romane, voûtes à croisée d'ogives, chœur, abside et transept gothiques (réalisés selon la technique du gothique champenois).
La façade, que l'on voit bien ici, fut élevée de 1711 à 1714 par l'Italien Giovanni Betto, qui participa d'autre part à la construction de plusieurs églises lorraines, dont la cathédrale de Nancy. Sobre et massive, de style classique, elle est rythmée par un avant-corps encadré de quatre colonnes doubles supportant un fronton triangulaire. Deux tours surmontées de bulbes complètent la totalité.
Elle fait l'objet d'une protection au titre des monuments historiques depuis son classement par l'arrêté du 12 juillet 1886.

♫ Bella Ciao ♫
The song Bella Ciao is the song of the Italian resistance and partisans who fought against the fascist dictatorship of Mussolini and the occupation by Hitler's Nazi soldiers. It is the song of April 25th, the day Italy celebrates the liberation from Nazi fascism.
Who were the partisans?
The partisans were the Italian resistance against the fascist dictatorship and the Nazi occupation. Their help was crucial for the liberation of Italy by Anglo-American troops. The partisans were common people who armed themselves as best they could. They belonged to different political tendencies (communists, shareholders, monarchists, socialists, democrats, liberals, republicans, anarchists) gathered in the Committee for National Liberation (it. Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale). They hid mainly in the mountains and weakened the enemy with insurrections and sabotage, for example by damaging communication and transportation routes. Women also played an important role and were often the relay women, carrying information and messages.

Stamattina mi sono alzato,
Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
Stamattina mi sono alzato,
E ho trovato l’invasor.
Oh partigiano, portami via,
Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
Oh partigiano, portami via,
Ché mi sento di morir.
E se io muoio da partigiano,
Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
E se io muoio da partigiano, tu mi devi seppellir.
E seppellire lassù in montagna,
Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
E seppellire lassù in montagna,
Sotto l’ombra di un bel fior.
Tutte le genti che passeranno,
Oh bella, ciao! Bella, ciao! Bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
Tutte le genti che passeranno,
Mi diranno «Che bel fior!»
«E questo è il fiore del partigiano»,

Morto per la libertà!»
This morning I got up,
Oh beautiful, hello! Hello beautiful! Beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
This morning I got up,
And I found the invader.
Oh partisan, take me away,
Oh beautiful, hello! Hello beautiful! Beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
Oh partisan, take me away,
Because I feel like dying.
And if I die as a partisan,
Oh beautiful, hello! Hello beautiful! Beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
And if I die as a partisan, you have to bury me.
And bury up there in the mountains,
Oh beautiful, hello! Hello beautiful! Beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
And bury up there in the mountains,
Under the shade of a beautiful flower.
All the people who will pass,
Oh beautiful, hello! Hello beautiful! Beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
All the people who will pass,
They will say to me «What a beautiful flower!»
«And this is the flower of the partisan»,
Oh beautiful, hello! Hello beautiful! Beautiful, bye, bye, bye!
"This is the flower of the partisan,
Died for freedom!"
The monument on Gorica hill is the Fallen Heroes – Partisan the Warrior Memorial (also known as the Mausoleum to Partisan Fighters).
The memorial serves as a mausoleum and a burial site for the remains of 97 national heroes of Montenegro who were killed during the People's Liberation War (WWII) between 1941 and 1945.
Spomenik Partizanu-borcu je monumentalni spomen-kompleks na brdu Gorica u Podgorici. Svečano je otvoren 1957. godine, a njegovi autori su arhitekta Vojislav Đokić i vajar Drago Đurović. U kompeksu je sahranjeno 97 narodnih heroja.
Boško Buha (1926 – 27 September 1943) was a young Yugoslav Partisan and an honored icon of the Yugoslavian resistance during World War II.
The 25th of April 1945 the Committee of the Italian Resistance gave the order of general insurrection. The partisans had fought the Fascists and the Nazis since the end of September 1943. The Resistance started in Naples that was the first major European city to be liberated after 4 days of fighting against the retreating German Army (27-30 September 1943). The 25th of April 1945 the partisans entered in the northern Italian cities. Since then the poppy has always been the symbol of the Resistance.
Around 45.000 partisans died to free Italy fighting the Fascists and the Nazis. Most of the Italian soldiers refused to fight with the Nazis after the armistice of the 8th September 1943. Around 800.000 of them were deported to Germany were ten of thousands of them died.

Partisan de la loi du moindre effort, le Vautour fauve est condamné au sort peu enviable de fossoyeur. C’est pour mieux pénétrer les entrailles que sa tête et son long cou ne sont recouverts que d’un duvet ras, la collerette de longues plumes blanchâtres empêchant le reste du corps de se salir. Dégingandé et grotesque au sol, c’est dans le ciel qu’il prend sa revanche, se métamorphosant en admirable machine volante évoluant sans effort au gré des ascendances thermiques. Champion du vol plané, ses rares mouvements d’ailes sont restreints à quelques poussées vers le bas.

Die Bezeichnung der Felsformationen im Elbsandsteingebirge ist äußerst vielfältig: Partisan, Amboss, Wotan, Nordstern, Leuchterweibchen, Beelzebub, Steinmetz und Trabant sind nur ein paar Namen, die im Gebiet der Affensteine verortet sind und die man zuerst sicher mit andern Bedeutungen, als mit Sandsteinfelsen in Verbindung bringt. Und so darf natürlich auch der "Dom" nicht fehlen - im eigentlichen Sinn eine Kirche, die sich durch Größe und/oder architektonische und künstlerische Besonderheiten oder eine besondere historische Bedeutung auszeichnet (so schreibt zumindest wikipedia).
Im Elbsandstein bezeichnet "Dom" einen gewaltigen Felsenkessel mit bis zu 60 Meter hohen Felswänden, die sich in Richtung Nasser Grund hin öffnen. Man kann durchaus, ähnlich wie in einer Kirche, mit Ehrfurcht vom Grund dieses Kessels nach oben schauen - so, wie man es in einer Kirche wohl ebenso machen würde. Den besten Blick von oben in den Dom des Elbsandsteingebirges bietet der Carolafelsen, von dem aus die Aufnahme entstand. Links ragt dabei die Felsnadel des Dompfeilers empor, die Bildmitte dominieren die dicht hintereinander stehenden Rohnspitze und der Domwächter (ja - das sind tatsächlich zwei verschiedene Felsnadeln...) und rechts markieren die Felsen um Sandlochturm, -wächter und -scheibe den Abschluss des Felsenkessels.

The Monument to the Kalnik Partisans is a socialist-era war memorial located in Ludbreški Ivanec, Croatia, near the Kalnik mountain range, which was a centre of Partisan resistance. It commemorates the Partisans who fought in the Kalnik region during World War II against Axis forces and their collaborators
It is one of many spomeniks, or socialist-era monuments, erected throughout the former Yugoslavia to honour fallen partisans and victims of fascism. Like many monuments of its kind, the Kalnik Partisans monument has been subjected to neglect or vandalism since the breakup of Yugoslavia.
During the socialist era of Yugoslavia, thousands of these anti-fascist memorials were built to commemorate battles and victims of WWII. They were often financed by local municipalities and organizations of former Partisan fighters. Today, these striking monuments are often viewed as relics of a bygone era, with many falling into disrepair
Lying that is, being partisan or, to put it mildly, being economical with the truth. This is why we can't trust an image unless it has been "verified" as our news bulletins often call it. Sometimes, one and the same image can be used for two mutually exclusive "narratives". We are observing this in relation to the imagery of the war in Ukraine. Corpses of civilians in Mariupol, we are being told, are the result of Russian war crimes, or, alternatively, of the action of the snipers of the (Ukrainian) Azov Battalion with its neo-Nazi background. These things need to be "verified". Seeing and believing are two different things.

Once it was a renaissance building, erected on the Zagradec hill towards the end of the 15th century. With owners changing it survived till the middle of the 20th century, when it was, like so many other castles, demolished by Slovenian partisans. Only the northern tower survived. The picture shows castle's NW facade.
Seen from the park behind the manor.
This manor, built in the 17th century, was once the most beautiful barok manor on the Carniola territory. In 1944 it was burnt by partisans and has stayed totally demolished until now. Only the surroundings and the park is nicely maintained.
Near Mrkopalj, on the meadow called Matić poljana, during the World War II a whole squad of 26 partisans got frozen in 1944. 150 of others survived that night, but many of them died later. The unique monument consists of 26 natural limestone pillars, arranged along the meadow.
Η Ιερά Μονή Μακαριωτίσσης ιδρύθηκε τον 12ο αιώνα. Σημαντικές ανακαινίσεις έγιναν τον 17ο αιώνα (1609) και τον 19ο αιώνα (1802). Εκτός από πνευματικό κέντρο έπαιξε και σπουδαίο εθνικό ρόλο. Κατά την Τουρκοκρατία έβρισκαν σ’ αυτήν καταφύγιο οι κλέφτες και οι αρματολοί που δρούσαν στην οροσειρά του Ελικώνα. Κατά την επανάσταση του 1821 ενίσχυσε τον Καραϊσκάκη στη μάχη της Δομβραίνας και για τούτο κάηκε από τους Τούρκους στις 4 Νοεμβρίου 1826.
Στον Μακεδονικό αγώνα πρόσφερε θυσία τον ιερομόναχό της π. Χρυσόστομο Καπετανόπουλο, ενώ γνώρισε και την θηριωδία των Ναζί στην Κατοχή, που κατέστρεψαν μεγάλο μέρος της Μονής φονεύοντας τον μοναχό της π. Αγαθάγγελο Αγγέλου.
Η Μονή επανδρώθηκε με νέα Αδελφότητα το 1992 και σήμερα λειτουργεί ως οργανωμένο Κοινόβιο με 20 μοναχούς περίπου.
The monastery of Makariotissa founded in the 12th century. Major renovations were made in the 17th century (1609) and the 19th century (1802). Besides a spiritual center had an important national role. During the Turkish occupation partisans (in Greeks called "kleftes kai armatoloi") who were active in the mountain of Helicon found a refuge. During the revolution of 1821 Karaiskakis (a Greek hero) was reinforced by the monks in the battle of Dombraina. Therefore Turks burned the Monastery on November 4, 1826.
Monk f. Kapetanopoulos Chrysostom fought in the Macedonian War, while the monastery met the brutality of Nazis during the occupation, who destroyed a great part of the monastery and killed f. Agathangelos Angelou.
The monastery was staffed with a new Brotherhood in 1992 and now serves as a Priory organized with about 20 monks.

Such scenes are hard to apprehend in western culture. Judeo Hellenic devotion to martyrdom is still prevalent in eastern cultures, A mother who has lost part of her flesh is torne between her grief and exuberance about her son's martyrdom, a hero who devoted his life for a "juste cause" so nicely depicted in Tolstoy's War and peace.

The old Soteska castle (12th century) stood more towards the W, on the other side of Krka river. After it was abandoned, only in the second half of 17th century the new manor was erected. Janez Vajkard Valvasor mentioned it as one of the most beautiful castled of Carniolia. But also this one is today in hardly any better shape. In autumn 1943 it was looted and burnt by partisans.
The castle is easily reachable (from the SE), but scrambling through its ruins is for sure far from being safe.
To me the last three years have been a downward spiral. The partisan approach to the impeachment hearing in which facts are irrelevant and the goal is to maintain the status quo regardless of its impact upon We, the People is a symptom of the federal government's present state of health.
I took this photo in Philadelphia in 2011 during very different times. It represents my present feelings towards the federal government of the United States-can it be fixed or how can we change it?
I try to keep away from politics in my Flickr posts, but sometimes it's just too damn hard to do so.
The Spomenik Database was set up in 2016 by writer, history hobbyist and travel enthusiast Donald Niebyl to act as a comprehensive online resource for the most significant and notable of the abstract & modernist World War II monuments built in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from roughly 1960 to 1990 (structures commonly referred to as 'Spomeniks'), which are now, after the breakup of that country in the 1990s, scattered across the present-day regions of Croatia, Slovenia, N. Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia i Herzegovina and Montenegro.
This spomenik complex at Mostar commemorates the 810 named fallen World War II fighters from Mostar whose bodies are interred in the cemetery here; each of the fighters were members of the Partisan National Liberation Army and died fighting against the Axis Ustaše and German occupiers. Along with the 810, the bodies of hundreds of WW2 fallen Partisan fighters were interred in the staircases leading up to the top of the monument
Since the fall of Yugoslavia, as the site has fallen into disrepair, a great number of markers have been vandalized, displaced and smashed. Even engraved markers that have been recently refurbished and replaced continue to be destroyed.

Located in the center of the village of Bud, Norway, I thought this was a lovely cottage and church.
Bud is a fishing village in Hustadvika Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county in western Norway near Molde. The village is located on the Romsdal peninsula along the Atlanterhavsveien road (Atlantic Road or Atlantic Ocean Road). During the Nazi occupation, the hill above the harbor from where I took this shot had a small German outpost with bunkers and a few gun placements. There is now a small museum and the hill serves as a monument to the Norwegian resistance and the brave partisans that fought and died in WW II.
Se substituant à Roquefixade, La Bastide-de-Montfort, nommée ainsi un temps en l’honneur de Simon de Montfort (vainqueur de la Croisade des Albigeois et auteur de la destruction du village et du château entre 1209 et 1212), était une bastide royale sans paréage bâtie en 1288 sur ordre du roi par le sénéchal de Carcassonne et de Béziers Simon Briseteste. Elle était voulue pour être un symbole de la victoire contre l'hérésie cathare.
Roquefixade perdura en châtellenie royale jusqu'à la Révolution.
Le 6 juillet 1944, 82 partisans FTP sont attaqués par la Milice puis par les Allemands près du hameau de Coulzonne, sur la commune. Onze maquisards sont abattus. Le lendemain, les Allemands encerclent le village et y surprennent 5 autres maquisards, qui seront tués. Néanmoins, ce maquis continuera son action jusqu'à la libération de l'Ariège. (Wikipédia)
Macugnaga. Italy.
Alpe Meccia.
October, 22th, 1944. Teodoro Picchetti, 27 years old, Mario Lana, 24, Mario Bassi, 30, Anselmo Scomazzon, 22, Benito Andreoli, 18, Angelo Falsone, 24, Luigi Magnaghi, Bruno Magnaghi with his pregnant wife Giuseppina, all partisans of the Garibaldi brigade, are killed in this place, a small settlement facing the huge East flank of Monte Rosa, by a Nazist commando. Another young woman, whose name is not remembered, is captured, raped and beaten by the Germans, and then let free just to tell her family and friends about the ‘power’ of the Third Reich.
After the killing, the bodies of the young partisans are transported like dead goats, tied to a pole, to a common grave, by the people of the village of Macugnaga, under the menace of the heavy weapons.
The big mountain surely watched over the entire horror, maybe through the thick clouds that often hide her shining icefields from the human eyes, maybe shining in the sunshine, as in this photo; silent, impassible, as the God that the young brave fighters were probably praying.
History loves to repeat herself…
22 ottobre 1944. Teodoro Picchetti, 27 anni, Mario Lana, 24, Mario Bassi, 30, Anselmo Scomazzon, 22, Benito Andreoli, 18, Angelo Falsone, 24, Luigi Magnaghi, Bruno Magnaghi con la moglie incinta Giuseppina, tutti partigiani della brigata Garibaldi, vengono uccisi in questo luogo, piccolo insediamento prospiciente l'immenso fianco orientale del Monte Rosa, da un commando nazista. Un'altra giovane donna, di cui non si ricorda il nome, viene catturata, violentata e picchiata dai tedeschi, e poi lasciata libera solo per raccontare alla sua famiglia e ai suoi amici il "potere" dei nazisti.
Dopo l'uccisione, i corpi dei giovani partigiani vengono trasportati come capre morte, legati ad un palo, in una fossa comune, dalla gente del villaggio di Macugnaga, sotto la minaccia delle armi pesanti.
La grande montagna ha sicuramente vegliato sull'intero orrore, forse attraverso le dense nubi che spesso nascondono i suoi scintillanti campi di ghiaccio agli occhi umani, forse brillando al sole, come in questa foto; silenziosa, impassibile, come il Dio che probabilmente pregavano i giovani e coraggiosi combattenti.
La storia ama ripetersi...

Chaktreng ཆ་ཕྲེང་། county
Chaktreng county, in the middle reaches of the Chaktreng chu valley, has been a staunchly partisan Gelukpa area since the 17th century when the local Kagyu monastery Gyazawei Gompa was razed to the ground by the Mongol army of Gushi Qan. Pon Khandro, a local chieftain, then built the Gelukpa monastery of Chaktreng Sampeling on the same site. The inhabitants of Chaktreng vigorously resisted the Chinese occupation of Zhao Erfeng`s army in the Batang area during the early decades of the present century. Trijang Rinpoche, the late tutor of HH Dalai Lama XIV, was a native of Chaktreng, and many of his most devoted followers hail from this part of East Tibet and the adjacent areas of Drayab and Gyeltang. Within the county there are only nine monasteries, of which six are Geluk and three are Nyingma. The capital is located at Chaktreng town. Area:4.712 sq km. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
