Memorial plaque for Soviet forced laborers at the Bad Bleiberg Cemetery

In the central part of the Bad Bleiberg cemetery, at the northern cemetery wall, there is a memorial plaque for a young man and a young woman who "had an accident" in 1943 and 1944. The plaque does not mention that the two were Soviet forced laborers who worked in the Bad Bleiberg mine and died there. Their names also appear on a large memorial in the entrance area of the cemetery, where all persons who died in the mine between 1900 and 2000 are remembered. Here as well, one does not learn that Boris Subaschew and Nastja Staruscha were not civilian employees in the mining industry, but forced laborers.
