On Tirana’s Liberation Day, the National Historical Museum, in collaboration with the Association of Veterans of the Anti-Fascist National Liberation War Tirana Branch, organized a scientific session on the theme: “Symbols of the Anti-Fascist National Liberation War in Tirana.

In his speech, Associate Professor Dr. Bernard Zotaj discussed various symbols including those representing Qemal Stafa and the heroes of Red Hill, the memorial stone commemorating Baraka e Nushajve, the Mother Albania monument, the memorial stone in Peza dedicated to the People’s Hero Myslym Peza, and more.

The war for the liberation of Tirana took on the characteristics of a significant frontal battle, highlighting the evident level of organization within the UNÇSH (National Liberation Army of Albania). The operation to liberate Tirana culminated in victory following 19 days of intense combat (October 29th to November 17th), both within the city and along the access roads leading to it. Tirana was liberated on November 17th, with the Battle of Mushketa playing a pivotal role in the success of the operation.

The people of the capital made a significant and valuable contribution to the fight for the liberation of Tirana. They staunchly supported all the battles that occurred within its neighborhoods and streets, playing a crucial role in the city’s liberation.

In the upcoming days, the National Historical Museum will host additional activities as part of the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the homeland’s liberation.
