The communist dictatorship of Hozha



The retreat of the Greek Army in 1941 and the consequent occupation brought back the obscurity of slavery in Epirus. In Southern Epirus, Moslem Tsams collaborating with the conquerors proceeded to destructions, loots and slaughters. In Northern Epirus, the communist dictatorship of Hozha has been the worst slavery in the history of Hellenism: religion was illegal, and every religious action was penalized, Greek education was prosecuted, live barbwires on the boundaries and huge spotlights at the sea, turned Albania into an endless prison; thousands of people were executed or let to die imprisoned, anything reminding Jesus Christ and Greece was extinguished. Albania brutally strangled even the basic rights of the Northern Epirots.
