Albania's disappeared; families still searching for answers
"What happened to my uncle and the rest of the officers was a massacre. It was Enver Hoxha's method of politics at the time."
Mimoza Dajçi's uncle, Rasim Dajçi, was executed in 1945 for opposing the newly formed Communist regime in Albania. Mimoza's family are still to find out where his body was buried. They are not alone. It is estimated that about 6,000 people went missing between 1945 and 1991. They were either executed - with or without a trial - or died through neglect or torture in prisons or in labour camps. Most were buried in unmarked graves. 27 years after the Communist regime collapsed families are still searching for answers.
