The Cemetery Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče pri pokopališču) lies on the eastern perimeter of the village cemetery. It contains the remains of 84 Croatian soldiers and civilians that were murdered at a nearby quarry in May 1945 as well as about 50 Slovene civilians from Slovenske Konjice that were murdered in the Lisica Woods in July 1945.[3]
