Xhevdet Doda (born in 1906 in Prizren) was a teacher by profession who was active in the resistance against German occupation in Kosovo during World War II.

Biography

During the People's Liberation War, he served as a battalion commander and deputy commander of the 1st Kosovo-Macedonia Offensive Brigade that mounted the Kosovo Operation (1944). As a member of that Brigade, he attended the Bujan Conference[1] from December 31, 1943 to January 2, 1944. A visible decision-maker at this conference, he attracted the attention of the Gestapo, which arrested him for treason and imprisoned him in Tirana, subsequently transferring him to the Banjica concentration camp near Belgrade and then to the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp complex, where he died in 1944. He was subsequently declared a national hero of Albania and Kosovo.[2]

For a short time, Doda, worked as a lecturer at an Albanian school in Novi Pazar, Sandžak. He was, like many other teachers, posthumously decorated with the Naim Frashëri by President of Albania Sali Berisha in his Decree No. 811 of April 11, 1994, in his case for opening Albanian language schools in northern and eastern Albania beyond the 1913 boundaries of the country from 1941 to 1944.

gollark: Anyway, I have several never-to-be-finished-or-probably-worked on new project ideas:- a simple search engine for osmarks.tk- annoying beep generator in the browser supporting custom frequencies and whatnot- a textual SVG editor thing in which you write code/templates which write SVG
gollark: I'm sure they are.
gollark: Oh, okay then.
gollark: ....... other than by doing that.
