Gorica, Stražce, memorial

Monument to the battle for liberation and for the preservation of industrial facilities, which were under attack by the retreating enemy, in this case primarily the Serbian royal army, which was retreating through the town, looting, threatening and also shooting. Forty-four people were killed. Among them were five factory workers, who stood up to defend the industrial towns within the framework of the anti-fascist armed resistance. In this resistance, Slovaks also participated earlier, within the framework of the municipal Liberation Front from 1941 onwards – in December of that year, the first committee of the LF was established in the town – together with Italians and Friulians, especially from September 1943 until the end of the war.

The monument was erected in 1975 in the factory, and on 25 July 2021, thanks to ANPI, it was moved to the green area in front of the factory.
