Occupier's fatality march
In the retaliation for the attack on the railway track by Croatian and Slovenian partisan units between the stations Gradac and Dobravice, on the night of 17 April 1943, the Italian army from Metlika burned the villages of Dolnje and Gornje Dobravice and Krivoglavice. On this fatality march, the Belogardists also participated; they brutally killed the activist of the OF and communist Miha Žunič, a miller from Krivoglavice.
Near the nearby forest in the direction of Krivoglavice, where Miha Žunič was murdered on 18.4.1943, a memorial stone with a plaque, conceived by Andrej Zemljan, was erected.
17 April is a local community holiday of Dobravice.
