The Tezno mass graves are a series of six grave sites located near Maribor, Slovenia, in the Tezno trench, southeast of the city district of Tezno, in a forested area east of the A1 motorway. The first grave site is located within Maribor city limits, west of the village of Miklavž na Dravskem polju. The others are located near Dogoše. ==History== During World War II, an anti-tank trench was dug in Tezno, around one km in length and 3 to 4 m wide. At the end of the war in 1945, in the events collectively referred to as the Bleiburg repatriations, the Yugoslav Partisans buried numerous bodies of executed prisoners of war from the Independent State of Croatia in the trench. In 2007, the Commission on Concealed Mass Graves in Slovenia reported that their analysis of what is now a forested area in Tezno found human remains at a length of 740 m; the exact number of victims could not be determined, but the historian Mitja Ferenc, specialist in the topic, estimated a minimum of 15,000 casualties. In 2007, the Slovene government started plans to make the mass grave site in Tezno a memorial park and cemetery.〔(Memorial park in Tezno planned )〕 In June 2010, Croatian president Ivo Josipović visited the site.〔(Josipovic lays wreath at post-World War II mass graves )〕 In 2012, the entire Croatian leadership laid wreaths only at the monument in Tezno. The part of the trench in Tezno in Maribor is officially designated the Tezno Woods 1 Mass Grave. The Tezno Woods 2–6 Mass Graves ((スロベニア語:Grobišče Tezenski gozd 2–6)) lie west of the settlement of Dogoše, between the Zlatoličje hydroelectric plant canal and Maribor. They are part of a former antitank trench 3.5 km long. During freeway construction in 1999, 70 m of the trench was excavated, revealing the remains of 1,179 victims, mostly Croatian soldiers. Sounding confirmed burials in 981 m of the trench, which is estimated to contain the remains of over 15,000 victims.〔(Tezno Woods 2 Mass Grave on Geopedia ) 〕〔(Tezno Woods 3 Mass Grave on Geopedia ) 〕〔(Tezno Woods 4 Mass Grave on Geopedia ) 〕〔(Tezno Woods 5 Mass Grave on Geopedia ) 〕〔(Tezno Woods 6 Mass Grave on Geopedia ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tezno mass graves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
