workingclasshistory:

On this day, 13 March 1945, two working class sisters, Vera and Libera Arduino, were executed in Italy by fascists alongside their father, a houseguest and some neighbours. Factory workers around the region sent delegations to the funeral, and stopped work while it was ongoing. One girl raised a red flag on the roof of her factory, while an electrician disconnected wiring to prevent the fascists calling for backup. The sisters had been active in the anti-fascist women’s resistance group, the Gddd.
