Unmarked grave

edit

Laze is the site of an unmarked grave from the period after the Second World War. The Logarček Shaft Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Brezno Logarček) is located in the woods between Laze and the freeway, about 320 meters (1,050 ft) northwest of the overpass. It contained the remains of a Slovene civilian victim of the December 1945 postwar killings. The remains were removed from the grave under unknown circumstances.[4]
