Dobniško Lake, Expulsion of Carinthian Slovenes
—
On the 80th anniversary of the forced expulsion of Carinthian Slovenes, a monument designed by Valentin Oman was unveiled in the municipality of Finkenstein/Bekštanj on April 15, 2022, at the initiative of the local Slovene cultural society Jepa-Baško jezero.
In April 1942, 25 Carinthian Slovene families from the municipality of Finkenstein were taken from their homes without warning, held in transit in Celovec, and then sent to forced labor camps. Their names are inscribed on two black stones standing on a base. In between is a white marble stone with a broken top and a metal sculpture by Valentin Oman.
