»Meanwhile, new betrayals occurred. On 4 December 1944, they arrested Pavlo Cerar-Bunčkovo from Rača, Martina Cerar-Šuštar from Brezovica, Janez Kos-Najpavra from Brezje, as well as father and son Janko and Stanko Cerar Logajev from Dob. Janez Kos remembers that when Logaj and Šuštar were brought to Begunje, they said to Kudr: »Why did you betray us?« and jumped on him to beat him. Others calmed them down.

Both died in the Mauthausen crematorium, Šuštar on 14th, Logaj on 23rd March 1945.«
