Axis Powers attacked Yugoslavia in 1941 and divided it. Slovenia was divided between Germany, Italy, Hungary. Serbia was under direct German occupational administration. Germans exiled some 20.000 Slovenes to Serbia. Refugee Commissariat in Belgrade, organized by Nedić Government, provided food and accommodation for exiled people from all over Yugoslavia.

Thus, exiled from Slovenia shared the fate of people of Belgrade and Serbia. Arrests, imprisonments, retaliations and firing squad executions became part of everyday life. Hostages, suspicious persons and antifascists were taken to police prisons, concentration and work camps of Gestapo and Special Police in Belgrade, Serbia and other occupied areas around Europe.
