Plaque for the deceased Slovenian exiles, Neresheim

From 1997, the leadership of the Slovenian exile society, headed by Zdenka Kaplan, has made efforts to stop the destruction of Slovenian graves near the monastery in Neresheim. The monastery leadership had to send many letters and conduct numerous phone conversations, and organize trips for members of the exile society (DIS) to Neresheim, to prevent them from destroying the Slovenian graves. Several conversations with the prior of the monastery were required, but he did not respond. When the prior, father Albert, took over the leadership of the monastery, he was immediately willing to make a plaque with the names of 23 Slovenians who died as exiles and were buried near the monastery. All the deceased are listed on the plaque, however, due to the coronavirus, members of DIS were unable to attend the unveiling of the plaque on the monastery's façade.
