Grave of the NOV fighters at the municipal cemetery in Celje

On the paved plaza there is a granite slab and a central memorial in the shape of a triangular prism with a five-pointed star and an inscription. Next to the memorial are two pairs of smaller memorials with the names of the deceased. The first memorial on the left is empty, prepared for the inscription of the next fallen fighter.

HERMINA SENIČAR: In 1905 Hermina Pratnehmer was born in Bukovlje, near Zreče. Her parents died when she was still young. At first she worked as a housemaid, later in the Celje factory EMO. At that time she married Rudolf Seničar, with whom she had a son Rudolf in 1939. She was a member of the Union of Metalworkers of Yugoslavia. Because of her active participation in workers' protests, she was investigated several times and finally received a dismissal, which prevented her from continuing her employment. In 1938 she was accepted into the Communist Party of Slovenia and was a co-founder of the 1st Celje unit. She also joined the OF. When the Gestapo arrested her, she was first imprisoned in some Slovenian prisons, tortured and later interned in Auschwitz. After liberation, she was expelled from the Communist Party of Slovenia on 10 January 1949. The party cited her inappropriate behavior in the camp, which does not concern party members, hatred towards some members, etc., as the reason for this. After a few years she retired. She was buried in the Celje cemetery, but her grave later disappeared. About this, in 2021, a documentary film called "THE FORGOTTEN GRAVE" by journalist Zvezdan Martič was made. Source: Wikipedia.
