On this day, 14 August 1944, 29-year-old Italian resistance partisan Irma Bandiera, aka ‘Mimma’, was murdered by the Nazis. They had blinded her and tortured her for seven days, however she refused to give up the names of her comrades. Her body was then dumped in the street outside her parents’ house. Today there is a street named after her in her native Bologna. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1784025881782554/?type=3
