Mass grave

Središče is the site of a mass grave associated with the Second World War or its aftermath. The Središče Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Središče) lies northeast of the village, in an abandoned and overgrown part of the village cemetery. It contains the remains of three Hungarians that were shot while crossing the border illegally.[3]

gollark: I've heard of that and vaguely looked at using it, but the server stuff still seems very WIP.
gollark: Although Discord has giant servers now, so good luck leaving without missing tons of stuff!
gollark: If you want to move off Facebook you'll probably worry about losing contact with 293848 people you don't have anywhere else, if you want to move off Skype you might just have something like 5 people in a group with you.
gollark: It mostly doesn't happen unless the existing stuff is also very bad. I suspect it's also easier for somewhat purpose-specific instant messaging than for general social network stuff because the group which has to move with you is smaller and you don't have to migrate giant friend lists or something.
gollark: Even if better services *do* exist, people generally don't move to something they don't have stuff/people they know on.
