Memorial for the Victims of Nazi Persecution and Resistance from the Community of Bad Eisenkappel/Železna Kapla

In the lower part of the cemetery, near the cemetery entrance on the right side, there is a memorial that has been remembering NS-victims from the community of Bad Eisenkappel/Železna Kapla since 1960. On the memorial stone, 78 names are engraved. A special inscription is dedicated to the "people's hero" Franc Pasterk-Lenart from Eisenkappel, as well as since the mid-1980s a special commemorative plaque in front of the memorial. In the community of Eisenkappel, the Carinthian-Slovenian resistance against the Nazi regime has its origins. Many Wehrmacht deserters from the surrounding valleys and graves hid as "Green Cadres" in the forests and joined the Osvobodilna Fronta (OF, Liberation Front) under Ivan Županc-Johan and Stane Mrhar-Tirolc starting in 1942. Due to the forced resettlement of many Carinthian-Slovenian families starting in 1942, the OF received further support. This eastern focus of the Carinthian partisans movement is also reflected in the cemetery.
