Slovenia will commemorate the Day
of Uprising Against Occupation on Saturday, a holiday honouring
the resistance to Nazi and Fascist occupation during WWII.
Slovenian territory was divided among Germany, Italy, and
Hungary following the attack led by Nazi Germany on April 6,
1941. The self-declared Fascist Independent State of Croatia
occupied five villages near Brežice, according to Slovenian news
agency STA. Many communities across the country will commemorate
the resistance movement today with a variety of events.
