On a five-meter-high stem, which at its upper third is surrounded by a wreath of roses, stands on a multitude of human heads a crown made from a broken (defeated) grid, from which swallows fly freely into liberty. In the cage remains a cross — a symbol of the crossroads path of our exiles and an eternal reminder of those who remained in foreign lands and whose hope of return was not fulfilled. Joyful birds fly home into freedom, where they will build new and better nests.
The obelisk was created by sculptor Rudi Stopa from Sevnica, and it was unveiled in 1988.
