Mass Graves In Slovenia
Mass graves in Slovenia were created in Slovenia as the result of extrajudicial killings during and after the Second World War. These clandestine mass graves are also known as "concealed mass graves" ( sl, prikrita grobišča) or "silenced mass graves" () because their existence was concealed under the communist regime from 1945 to 1990.Ferenc, Mitja, & Ksenija Kovačec-Naglič. 2005. ''Prikrito in očem zakrito: prikrita grobišča 60 let po koncu druge svetovne vojne''. Ljubljana: Muzej novejše zgodovine. Some of the sites, such as the mass graves in Maribor, include some of the largest mass graves in Europe. Nearly 600 such sites have been registered by the Commission on Concealed Mass Graves in Slovenia, containing the remains of up to 100,000 victims. They have been compared by the Slovenian historian Jože Dežman to the Killing Fields in Cambodia. Background Many of the mass graves were created during the war, but the larger sites date from after the war. The wartime grav ...

Peter Pavel Glavar
Peter Pavel Glavar (2 May 1721 – 24 January 1784) was a Carniolan Roman Catholic priest, beekeeper, writer, and businessman. Glavar was born in Ljubljana and was an illegitimate and abandoned child of the Maltese noble Pietro Giacomo de Testaferrata and of a local servant. He was raised in Vopovlje in northern Carniola. As he was a quick learner, he went to study for a priest to Ljubljana and about 1738 to Graz, where he became a master of liberal arts ( la, magister artium liberalium). There he also got acquainted with economic theories of French physiocrats. His education was wide and he was fluent in several European languages. Glavar returned to Carniola around 1743. He settled in Komenda in northern Carniola, where he established a school in 1751, and erected a benefice building with a library in 1752. The library still stands and comprises around 2,000 books from a multitude of fields of science and arts. A mighty lime tree in Komenda was presumably planted by Glavar in ...

Žeje Pri Komendi
Žeje pri Komendi ( or ; german: Scheje''Intelligenzblatt zur Laibacher Zeitung'', no. 141. 24 November 1849, p. 19.) is a village in the Municipality of Komenda in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. Name The name of the settlement was changed from ''Žeje'' to ''Žeje pri Komendi'' in 1955. The name was first attested in written sources in 1322 as ''Seyach'' (and as ''Seach'' in 1348). The name is derived from the plural demonym ''*Žežane'', from the verb ''*žeťi'' 'to burn'. The change ''*Žež-'' > ''*Žej-'' is a result of dissimilation. The name refers to people living on burned-over ground. A second possibility is that the name may be derived from some unknown noun related to Slovene ''žeja'' 'thirst', referring to an intermittent spring or dry soil. The settlement was known as ''Scheje'' in German in the past. History Roman-era brick has been found near the village, testifying to its settlement in antiquity. A village band was established in Žeje pri Komendi in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
