About

"These plaques bear the names of the men and boys of this village, soldiers in the Slovenian National Army and fighters against communism that did not fall in battle. They were betrayed and murdered. It is not known where their bodies lie. There are therefore received with sorrow and respect by their homeland. As long as Slovenians shall walk past this place, their names and the words that they spoke in life and death shall not be forgotten. "God – Nation – Homeland. "Peace in the Lord. "All of my fingers tremble on the flute, / The quiet voices caress my hand, / Thus I would like to reach into the deep earth, / Where my brothers lie mute. – [France] Balantič "These plaques were set up by the people of Samotorica in the third year of Slovenia's independence."
