Družina will advertise the tour in Slovenia and recruit local Slovenians to join our group. \nSlovenia’s sad World War II history left a divide between the “Home Guards” and the “Partisans” that has not been fully resolved. After WWII was over in 1945\, Slovenia\nsuffered the largest crimes against humanity\, or genocide\, in post-WWII Europe when the British repatriated tens of thousands of refugees back to Yugoslavia\, where they\nwere killed by the new communist government and dumped into mass graves around Slovenia. \nThe tour will visit these mass grave sites\, former concentration camps\, and prisons. We will be guided by Slovenia’s experts\, including historians\, archaeologists\, journalists\,\nwriters\, and an international human rights expert.
