„Partisan memorial is a general term for memorial plaques, obelisks, monuments, statues and similar objects erected after World War II to commemorate fallen partisans and hostages shot. They appear at various sites: at the site of battles, partisan camps, the occupier’s prisons, at the sites of the occupier’s terror, at illegal hospitals, at courier stations and gateways, at meetings, and at other historical events during the Second World War.
Partisan memorials are a part of the commemorative memorials of the Second World War. They are located in areas of partisan warfare in Europe, the most common in the Balkans (in the countries of the former Yugoslavia and Albania), Poland, Ukraine and Russia, and are a historical cultural specificity of these places.
There are over 7500 partisan memorials in Slovenia, a selection of about 2700 of them is taken into account by the national Register of Cultural Heritage, and they are collected in the Partisan Monuments layer of the Partisan Monuments project on Geopedia, the Slovene interactive map. They are scattered throughout the territory of Slovenia, in the territory inhabited by Slovenes in neighbouring countries, and elsewhere abroad.“
