The name of the writer Pavle Zidar is connected with the event described on the first plaque. He as a thirteen-year-old activist planted an explosive. It was intended for German gunners who lived in the school, but the explosion accidentally occurred during class. The Germans imprisoned him in Begunje, from where the partisans of the Kokrška unit freed him in April 1945, after which he went with them into the partisans. The event left a strong mark on him, as he often included it in his works (e.g. Occupation of Javornik, 1984). The number of victims of the explosion was seven or eight (girls and a German teacher), while twelve were injured.
