History
The village became the site of a mass grave from May 23–25, 1945 when Axis soldiers were massacred there by the Yugoslav Partisans.[5] The Wehrmacht had dug anti-tank trenches in the village, which were used to bury the dead.[5] The mass grave was discovered in 2009.[6] It is estimated that there are 4000 bodies in the graves, with many of them being members of the 392nd (Croatian) Infantry Division (Wehrmacht).[6]
