The Trieste arson that engulfed Europe
Review by Sabine Rutar
In Ogenj, ki je zajel Evropo (Cankarjeva založba, 2021) Borut Klabjan and Gorazd Bajc weave their narrative about the cultural, political and social history of the Narodni dom (and the city of Trieste) around a single event: the fascist arson of the Narodni dom on 13 July 1920. Sabine Rutar in her review writes that not only have the authors accomplished a comprehensive history of early fascist violence against Trieste’s Slovenes, they have also written European history at its best.
