All victims of persecution have the same dignity. Whichever side they fought or served on. The words "memorial" and "remembrance" are often used to commemorate the massacres. Perhaps they are the most suitable, perhaps the first that come to mind. You could play with synonyms, but you don't play when it comes to people who have been murdered. "Memorial" is used to commemorate the extermination of the Jews by the Nazis which is observed on January 27th, day of the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945. "Remembrance" is used so as not to forget the massacres of the Foibe and is remembered on February 10th, the date on which, in 1947, the Treaty of Paris was signed which assigned Istria, Kvarner and the city of Zadar to Yugoslavia. They are very different things. In the first case it is a World Day announced by the UN, in the second it is an Italian civil solemnity. Even the extent of the massacres cannot be compared: on the one hand a planned genocide which led to the death of 6 million people, on the other the massacre of Italian soldiers and civilians by Yugoslav partisans which caused 3,000 to 5,000 deaths, according to some historians more than 10,000. Let us not confuse the two but let us neither forget that the Bell rings for one and all.
