Bistrica pri Naklem - Memorial Plaque for Two Fallen Victims

PLATE DESCRIPTION: A bronze plate (size 43 cm x 30 cm) with a raised inscription is attached to the front of the house.

DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: As a result of a partisan action on the road just above the settlement, the enraged Germans exploded three neighboring houses and rounded up all nine men over the age of eighteen who lived and worked there in the mills and sawmills, and on the same night, after the partisan attack, they shot them on the spot.

All three houses were burned down by the Germans to the ground, and the families were dragged to the Bistriško field and left there. Aljančič was the farmer at the farm, and Šemrov was in his service as a sawyer.

House No. 2 in Bistrica was restored after the war, and the widow Marija Aljančič lived there.

The memorial plate was unveiled by the local committee of the ZB NOV Podbrezje and was unveiled on July 26, 1962.
