Jože Dežman (born 26 September 1955) is a Slovenian historian,[1][2] museum curator, philosopher and editor.

[4] Matić characterised the replacement as politically motivated and pointed out that Dežman is not an archivist.

Compared to Europe, the Yugoslav communist massacres after the Second World War are probably right after Stalinist purges and the Great Famine in the Ukraine.

Because of its brevity, number of casualties, way of execution and massiveness, it is an event that can be compared to the greatest crimes of communism and National Socialism.

[10]Dežman was the first chairman of the Commission on Concealed Mass Graves in Slovenia.
