During the World Wars, memorials on the cemetery in Sittersdorf/Žitara are dedicated to the fallen. However, until 2015, 24 residents of the municipality who died outside the Wehrmacht during National Socialism were not remembered. These 24 names are listed on a bilingual memorial plaque directly next to the memorial to the fallen, on the right side of the church entrance along the northwest cemetery wall. They are remembered as 24 citizens of the municipality who died because of their belonging to the Slovenian ethnic group, or because of their resistance activities, who were murdered as part of the NS-Euthanasia program, or who became victims of partisan fighting.
