Gornja Bistrica, memorial-niche Jakobu Molku - Mohorju//graveyard

Jakob Molek-Mohor was employed as a worker in Knaflič's glassworks in Kamnik prior to the Second World War. Upon the outbreak of the war, he began organizing resistance against the occupiers and was part of the first group of partisans from which later developed the 1st Kamniška Detachment. With it, he went to Gorenjsko and participated in the Dražgoški Battle, after which he returned to the Kamniško area, becoming the political commissar of the renewed Kamniška Detachment in 1942, and later of the Kamniški Battalion. He fought in numerous battles and the liberation of the Upper Savinja Valley in 1944. By mid-1944, he was the deputy political commissar of Šlandrova Brigade and was sent in the autumn of the same year as a member of the Regional Committee of the KPS to Styria for political work in Prekmurje.

Jakob Molek-Mohor fell on 7 March 1945 in a battle with Hungarian pursuers near the village of Ane Lebar on the Srednji Bistrica. His body was taken to the nearby cemetery, where it was stripped and wrapped. The local organization of ZZB NOV Beltinci placed and unveiled a memorial-tombstone on the cemetery in Gornji Bistrica on 22 January 1958.
