Hrib, Tabor Cemetery, Loški Potok, Karel Levstik and three others shot at the same time

The priest in Loški Potok, Josip Pravhar, wrote a memorial in July 1942 and sent it to the command of the 11th Armored Division. In an incriminating and inciting manner, he depicted the period of the first liberation of Loški Potok from May to July 1942. Because he called upon the Italians in the memorial, the Italians turned against him in the offensive. He handed over a list of OF activists, partisans, and sympathizers to the Italians, who shot them and sent them to internment.

During the offensive, General Mario Robotti reported to the higher command OK. SN. Slovenia-Dalmatia on August 6, 1942: "Today I visited the units and traveled the route from Vrhnika to Logatec to Laze to Rakek to Cerknica to Grahovo to Nova vas to Loški Potok (Hrib). In Loški Potok (UQ-OF), I gave an order to immediately shoot four people. These were: Mirko Kordiš-Dednarjev, Travnik No. 21, Karel Levstik-Juresov, Travnik No. 50, Rudolf Bartol-Špelčen, Travnik No. 122, and Anton Mikulič-Žnidarjev, Travnik No. 86. All four were staff members at the Ogenca hospital. They took care of food and the transportation of the wounded. They returned home because the priest Pravhar promised Mirko Šega and others that nothing would happen to those who volunteered to come forward."

The Italians sent the convicts to Jevnek under Tabor and tried to force the prisoners to dig their own graves themselves. However, because the terrain was rocky, they were killed along the path that the locals walked to Mass at Tabor from Šegova village. Later, the locals shot the four and buried them in a common grave, which is now the family grave of the Levstik family.
