Mass graves

Jasen is the site of five known mass graves or unmarked graves from the Second World War. Four of them contain the remains of German soldiers from the 97th Corps that fell at the beginning of May 1945. The Jasen Mass Grave (Template:Lang-sl) encompasses three sites 70 m from the house at Jasen no. 1a. They contain the remains of 84, eight, and six soldiers, respectively.[3] The Jasen No. 11 Mass Grave ([Grobišče pri hiši Jasen 11] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) lies in the yard of the house at Jasen no. 11a. It contains the remains of three or four soldiers.[4] The Church Grave ([Grob pri cerkvi] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is located by an electric pole between the house at Jasen no. 16a and the church. It contains the remains of one soldier.[5] The Jasen No. 4 Grave ([Grob pri hiši Jasen 4] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) lies in the yard of the house at Jasen no. 4. It contains the remains of one soldier.[6] The Baba Mass Grave ([Grobišče Pod babo] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is located in the bushes next to a fenced pasture about 300 m northeast of the house at Jasen no. 48. It contains the remains of two Chetniks accidentally shot by German troops.[7]
