Terezija “Zinka” Bizjak Kavčič

In memoriam

From Jesenice; daughter of Luka Bizjak and Terezija Razinger Bizjak. Together with her husband Franc, the family was deported to Serbia by the German authorities in 1941. The family returned to Slovenia in the fall of 1942. Franc was compelled to join the Village Guards and Zinka supported the family through sewing. The family evacuated to Carinthia with Home Guard troops at the end of the war, but was returned by the British. Franc was separated from Zinka and his son in Carinthia, and both he and Zinka were murdered at the Teharje death camp. Sources: - Kržan, Vanja. "Teta mi je dala hrbtenico."
