Ludvik Zajc

In memoriam

From Mekinje. He was a member of the Slovenian Home Guard that had retreated to Austrian Carinthia at the end of World War II. He was forcibly returned from the POW camp in Viktring to Yugoslavia and murdered. Prior to this the communists had murdered his wife; this was done by a certain J. P., who already had 85 murders on his conscience by the time Italy surrendered. (Source: Matija Škerbec. 1957. Krivda rdeče fronte, vol. 2. Cleveland: Author, p. 174-5).
