Gradišče, Slovenj Gradec

Gradišče (pronounced [ɡɾaˈdiːʃtʃɛ]) is a settlement in the City Municipality of Slovenj Gradec in northern Slovenia.

[2] Gradišče is the site of two known mass graves from the period immediately after the Second World War.

Both graves are located in the western part of the settlement, in the northern outskirts of Slovenj Gradec, and contain the remains of Croatians that were traveling toward the Austrian border and killed between 10 and 15 May 1945.

The Troblje Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Troblje) is located on the east side of the road to Dravograd, near a shrine next to a ditch with a creek that flows into the Mislinja River.
