Kidričevo (pronounced

aluminum-smelting factory. The town developed due to the industry in the area and is an example of urban planning in the late 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.[3]

Name

The historical settlement that the town was built around was called Strnišče. In 1947,[4] this was renamed Kidričevo after Boris Kidrič,[5] a leading Slovenian communist and one of the chief organizers of the Partisan movement in Slovenia from 1941 to 1945. In 1974, territory was separated from the settlements of Kidričevo and Župečja Vas to create the current settlement of Strnišče.[4][6]

Sterntal Concentration Camp

The

Red Cross, and most of the survivors were sent to Austria.[14][15]

Mass graves

Kidričevo is the site of two mass graves connected with the Sterntal Concentration Camp. The Sterntal 1 Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Sterntal 1) was uncovered in the 1980s during excavation work at the Talum factory. The remains were removed and disposed of in an undocumented manner. The grave is located in a meadow behind the factory.[16] The Sterntal 2 Mass Grave (Grobišče Sterntal 2) contains the bodies of prisoners from the Sterntal concentration camp. It is located in a pine grove opposite the entrance to the former camp, about 50 meters (160 ft) from the road.[17]
