Bunker Hlipovčnik

Bunker in Hlipovčnik's Gully is the beginning of the memorial trail. In cooperation with artists and artisans, 14 stations will be created along the 2 km long trail to the village center in Selah, in memory of the victims of Nazi violence.

"On 1 December 1942, the Gestapo arrested deserter Tomaz Olip and Jak Oražej in Hlipovčnik's Gully after the hideout was betrayed. When the Gestapo searched the hideout, which was two and a half meters in size, they found Tomaz Olip's diary. This was followed by several arrests. From mid-November 1942 to the beginning of February 1943, approximately 200 men and women were arrested, including a number of forced laborers – Poles. 134 Slovenian women and men were tortured. This was followed by several trials. For 23 people, there was not enough evidence for the charges. The Gestapo sent them to various concentration camps. Roland Freisler led the main trial at the beginning of April 1943 and sentenced 12 men and one woman to death. On 29 April 1943, they were beheaded at the provincial court in Vienna. Of the total 134 accused persons, at least 38 lost their lives due to persecution. The number of victims among the arrested Poles is unknown."
