Graveyards of partisan hospitals

In the vicinity of partisan hospitals, graves were arranged in sinkholes where the deceased wounded were buried. The burial followed a strict procedure determined by the administration of the Slovenian Central Partisan Military Hospital. At least one comrade from the hospital leadership had to be present. After the war, in the 1950s, the victims were exhumed and reburied in their home cemeteries. Today, in Kočevski Rog, only symbolically arranged grave sites remain.
