Albaniens Golgatha (1913)

Albania's Golgotha: Indictment of the Exterminators of the Albanian People (German: Albaniens Golgatha:Anklageakten gegen die Vernichter des Albanervolkes), is a German published document of 1913 which was written by the Austrian publicist and politician Leo Freundlich (1875-1953). The document is a compilation of news which he gathered when traveling in the Vilayet of Kosovo during the Serbian invasion of 1912-1913, explaining in detail the full-scale massacres, rape, expulsions, torture and abuse which Albanian civilians suffered under rule by the Serb army and Chetnik paramilitaries.[1][2] According to the documents of Freundlich, 25,000 Albanians were massacred in the Kosovo Vilayet halfway through the First Balkan War. The document describes the methods of ethnic cleansing which was used to remove the Albanian population of North Macedonia, Northern Albania, and Kosovo.[3] The document was re-translated by Robert Elsie.[4] The reports were confirmed by the International Commission to Inquire into the Causes and Conduct of the Balkan War.[5][6][7][8]
