The “Borova Massacre” took place, carried out by German Nazis in the village of Borov\u00eb in Kolonje, as a response to the resistance that the people and partisan forces made to a German division that entered the Albanian lands from Greece. It is the first and biggest massacre that the German Nazis carried out against the civilian population in Albania in the years of World War II. They razed the village of Borovo and killed 107 people, including women, children up to 16 years old, old men and women and other vulnerable people. The massacre of Borova aroused hatred and revolt throughout the Albanian people. Borova became a symbol of the sacrifice of the Albanian people in World War II.
