Mass graves in Slovenia

[2][3][4] Nearly 600 such sites have been registered by the Commission on Concealed Mass Graves in Slovenia, containing the remains of up to 100,000 victims.

The wartime graves vary from those of soldiers killed in battle to groups that were targeted by the Partisans due to their ethnicity (e.g., Romani)[8][9][10][11] or other civilians murdered for political reasons.

[12][13] The postwar graves from the Bleiburg repatriations contain the remains of suspected collaborators, soldiers, and civilians that fled towards Austria in May and June 1945,[5][14] as well as groups targeted because of their ethnicity (e.g., Gottschee Germans, Hungarians, and Italians).

[15][16][17][18] and civilians that were the victims of political purges[19] or marked as "class enemies"[20] to eliminate potential opponents to the new regime.

[23] After the collapse of Yugoslavia, researchers in Slovenia started writing about the executions and exhumations were undertaken.
