Slovenia to rebury 800 victims from post-WWII mass grave

Slovenia is reburying some 800 victims from a mass grave containing the remains of thousands of people believed killed in the aftermath of World War II by the communist authorities.

 

The remains will be laid to rest in a memorial park in Maribor, northeastern Slovenia, alongside other victims of post-WWII summary executions. The victims are believed to be mostly Croats and Slovenes from WWII pro-Nazi groups killed by the victorious communists.

 

Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic laid a wreath as part of commemoration ceremonies Thursday. "Historic truth must be established because it presents a basis for a better future," she said.
