Idrija, Grave of Fighter Janko Vogrič

Shooting of thirteen partisans during the German offensive "Traufe" on 13 November 1943 in Želina near Cerkno is described by Stanko Petelin in the book Vojkova brigada:

Janko Vogrič had extraordinary luck, at that time a courier of the division staff and later a fighter in Vojkova brigade. When he arrived at the intersection by motorcycle, the Germans suddenly grabbed him. Together with other prisoners, he was placed against the wall to be cut down by submachine guns. In the last moment, Janko dashed across the ditch, but the enemy bullets were faster and pierced his lungs in two places. The Germans had already considered him dead, but the determined partisan fighter managed to do what a person would have at first glance considered impossible: despite serious injuries, he crawled in the dark along the stream up the steep slope right into Jagršče, where he received first aid, and then was taken to the hospital.

The event is commemorated by a memorial plaque in Želina near Cerkno, near the house Straža 10.
