Bule Naipi
Bule Naipi (1922 – 17 July 1944) was a World War II Hero of Albania. Bule Naipi was born in 1922 in Gjirokastër, Albania. As a member of the Communist Youth, she joined the Antifascist War. Since the beginnings of her childhood she faced grave difficulties as her father had left the city and emigrated to the US and had left Bule and her brother Sado alone. Both of them joined the Resistance against Nazi Germany. Bule, after having shown extraordinary bravery in the war, ended up a prisoner of war in German hands. She died at only 22, killed by torture, and after Persefoni Kokëdhima was hanged on July 12, 1944, in the Çerçiz Topulli Square in Gjirokastër. She did not give up even in the most difficult last moments when she was lashed and tortured, and, as Kokedhima, never revealed any names of communist colleagues. Bule Naipi and Persefoni Kokëdhima are commemorated by a statue which stands in Çerçiz Topulli plaza in Gjirokastër. An Albanian movie, ''Ngadhnjim mbi vde ...

Female Resistance Members Of World War II
Female (symbol: ♀) is the sex of an organism that produces the large non-motile ova (egg cells), the type of gamete (sex cell) that fuses with the male gamete during sexual reproduction. A female has larger gametes than a male. Females and males are results of the anisogamous reproduction system, wherein gametes are of different sizes, unlike isogamy where they are the same size. The exact mechanism of female gamete evolution remains unknown. In species that have males and females, sex-determination may be based on either sex chromosomes, or environmental conditions. Most female mammals, including female humans, have two X chromosomes. Female characteristics vary between different species with some species having pronounced secondary female sex characteristics, such as the presence of pronounced mammary glands in mammals. In humans, the word ''female'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Etymology and usage The ...

Former President Ilir Meta called it the "North Korea of Europe" during an interview with Euronews. Being Europe's only Muslim-majority country, it declared itself the world's first ath ...

People From Gjirokastër
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
