On 31 July 1941 (the date engraved on the monument is incorrect), activists from the village gathered at this location. The meeting was chaired by Anton Štefe from Šenčur, a representative of the Communist Party. In addition to him, the following locals were present: Andrej Kmet, Anton Pičman, Janez Bučan, and Miha Štefe. Unaware villagers informed the Gestapo about the meeting. As soon as the activists dispersed around ten o'clock in the evening, German police arrived in the village and began arresting activists at their homes who had attended the meeting "For the Village." Except for Pičman, the others managed to escape and join the partisans.
The monument was erected by the local committee of the Slovene People's Liberation Army and Partisan Army (ZB NOV) on 9 August 1961.
