It is a memorial to the atrocities of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania and opened on March 26, 2013, on Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard in Tirana.[2]
Location
The memorial is located near a statue of Ismail Qemali in the neighborhood where the nomenklatura built their dachas, and in fact is in what was once the garden of the dacha of Mehmet Shehu.[2]
Description and symbolism
The Postbllok Memorial includes three pieces. One is a set of concrete girders taken from Spaç Prison, where Lubonja was imprisoned for a time. The girders are lined up in a row as they would have been in the halls of the Prison.[3]
The second object is a bunker portion of the memorial, one of the main symbols of the dictatorship.
The third element is a piece of the Berlin Wall, meant to symbolize Albania's isolation, which was a gift from the state government of Berlin to the City of Tirana.[1][2][3]
