On November 7th, 1944, the Gestapo arrived at the home of Marija Pehová in Mežnarija, below the church of St. Urban on Kozje Hill, where they that day began to beat, kill and set fire. There they threw Marija Pehová alive into the fire. The Gestapo then continued at the home known as "Kochova kašča", where they clashed with the fighters of Lackove's unit, and therefore set the house on fire after the battle. They killed the tenant Marija Kobolt, her daughter and her son Peter, and threw their bodies into the fire. On the site of the home, the locals found seven bodies, from which it can be concluded that they also killed prisoners from the Dravograd Gestapo prisons, who were forced to wear uniforms and carry weapons.

The description of the event at Hoch is recorded in the publication of Jančka Messner - MORIŠČE DRAVOGRAD, multiple reprints - first 1946.
