     Bulgarian atrocities against Albanians
     
206. The village of Peçenë, which has the neighborhoods of Zubve, Bulloshve and Haxhve, is located 20 km west of the city of Presevo. We commemorate the tragedy of a family in 1916-1917, when this place was occupied by the Bulgarian occupier. After the establishment of the Bulgarian administration, many young people were recruited and sent to Bulgaria. These were not regular soldiers, but so-called Trudak, and they were mistreated in various ways.
     
     A young man named Ziya was recruited from the Haxh neighborhood. Due to the severe mistreatment he was forced to flee the Bulgarian army back home. After his escape, the Bulgarians issued an arrest warrant for his capture (with the aim of returning him to the Bulgarian army).
     
     One day, the military-police administration sent Bulgarians dressed in uniform to the Zubve neighborhood to take the village headman so that they could go with him to Ziya’s house and kidnap him. Fortunately, the headman was not at home, so they took another villager named Islam Bilalli in his place. He went to the Haxh neighborhood to Ziya’s house, went inside and said to Ziya’s mother: Has Ziya come from Bulgaria, because the Bulgarians are looking for him.
     
     Ziya’s mother replied that he had not come, even though Ziya was hiding near the house, in the mountains. The Bulgarians, suspecting that his mother was lying, began to beat her in the yard. Ziya, seeing that they were beating his mother, fired a rifle at the Bulgarians in order to scare them.
     
     They began to flee and returned to their station. Upon arrival, they told what had happened. But they were also served with lies. They said that Islam had told Ziya: Take the rifle and kill the Bulgarians, because they have come to arrest you. The Bulgarian command immediately ordered a group of ten people (soldiers) and told them to go to the Zub neighborhood and do whatever they wanted with Islam and his family.
     
     The Bulgarians arrived in this neighborhood, called Islam and ordered him to go with them. He left, but they asked his family to go with them. So Islam, his mother, the woman with four children, followed the Bulgarians. As they left the neighborhood, the Bulgarians discussed with each other what to do with them. One proposed shooting them, another slaughtering them, and the third proposed throwing them into the fire.
     
     When Islam heard these words (he knew Bulgarian), he shouted at the top of his voice: O you peasants, make it lawful for me, because I had it with my whole family! The Bulgarians sent Islam and his family and on the mountain nearby where there was a pile of oak, prepared as winter food for the animals.
     
     There they tied him to a piece of wood and set fire to the oak pile. When the fire took a big hit, the Bulgarians began to throw the children into the fire one by one, then the mother and wife, and finally, after this terrible scene, they threw him in too. Since then, this place has been called the place where Islami and his family were burned.
     
     This tragic event has also been reported by many other villagers, which shows that it has been passed down from generation to generation, but the surrounding villages still keep this event fresh in their memory.
     
     Unfortunately, there are no witnesses to this event because it happened in 1916-1917.
