Viktor Dolenc

In memoriam

Born and lived in Pri Cerkvi. Murdered and buried in the Žiglovica Cave Mass Grave. A group of men were abducted by a Partisan patrol while clearing woods along the railway. Some of the victims were thrown into Žiglovica Cave alive, and one of them managed to pull one of his Partisan attackers in with him. After the murders, a local Partisan political activist insisted that the men had merely been sent to White Carniola for punitive labor, but the murders were acknowledged by some of the Partisan participants.
