Death toll in the population on the territory of the Republic of Slovenia during WWII and immediately afterwards

The list of names is the result of scientifically-based historiography and victimology research which has been conducted at the Institute of Contemporary History in Ljubljana since 1997. It includes individuals who, between April 1941 and January 1946, lost their lives under various circumstances during WWII and immediately afterwards due to revolutionary violence or war-related issues.

In terms of geography, the list is limited to the territory of the Republic of Slovenia and encompasses people who during the WWII enjoyed residential rights in the said territory. Positive identification of each victim is ensured by 25 categories of information, forming the so-called victim's personal card which the research tries to establish with every person.

The list has been formed on the basis of systematic review of the literature, newspapers, archives and other documentary material in order to assess the total volume of human lives lost. Currently, the research is in its final stage of checking the data collected in the registers. Then the gradual publication of data on the website will comply with the amount of data checked.
