Description:

Anna, who was twenty years old, helped, together with her family, some prisoners in the area for about two months, providing them with food and clothing. Following a tip-off from a spy, the family’s house was searched (at that time the prisoners were not there). The fascists asked for Anna. When the girl appeared, they ordered her not to move. However, she turned towards her father and was quickly struck by a rifle shot and killed.
