Bizjakova family.
—
Stanko Bizjak was one of the first partisans of this village. On 24.2.1943, Italian fascists, who had a garrison in Dol, entered the Bizjak family house. They imposed their will upon the family members because Stanko was a partisan. After torturing the family members, they began to shoot them. First, they shot the two-year-old son Branko, then Stanko's pregnant wife, and then it was Stanko's brother Ivan, father Štefan, and mother Brigita. Because the mother tried to run to the fascists when they were killing her family, they cut off both her arms at the wrists before shooting her. After this bloody criminal act, they set the house on fire. When the partisan Stanko learned about the atrocity, he took his life in despair. In the cemetery in Otlica, there is the grave of the Bizjak family. Source: Vodnik po partizanskih poteh.
