Unmarked grave

Prosenjakovci is the site of an unmarked grave associated with the Second World War or its aftermath. The Prosenjakovci Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Prosenjakovci) lies southwest of the village, behind the funeral chapel in the village cemetery. It contains the remains of a Hungarian that was shot while crossing the border illegally.[3]
